The world’s first cooperative SaaS platform
Mix & match features to build your no-code workflow
Choose from a library of prebuilt templates. Adjust and combine them to create your very own apps, which help you manage your projects, sync your tasks, and grow your business.
Forms
Forms let you reuse templates and nest fields inside each other. Compose them, prefill them, exchange them, and keep track of changes as you work side by side.
Collections
Collections let you decide who gets access to how many details. Set specific views, define filter criteria, and move data between different collections seamlessly.
Layouts
Layouts let you turn article templates into custom creations. Produce articles, annotate them, edit them together, and publish them when you’re ready.
Threads
Message threads let you do business with others inside and outside of your organization. Communicate via chat, embed interactive forms, trigger actions, and get notified when your response is needed.
Actions
Actions let you advance and finalize business transactions. Auto-generate invoices, send payments, sign contracts, and invite others to your workspace.

Most SaaS products are proprietary, so one company owns your data. Because Cardstack is open source, you own not only your data, but your customized software too.

Cardstack membership network
Global software catalog
With one click, service providers can install both free and premium features, themes, as well as integrations, which were submitted to the catalog by developers and designers.
Unified billing & payments
Thanks to a metering and billing protocol based on the Ethereum blockchain, users can set up their payment method once and redeem services from multiple providers across the network.
Cross-honored membership
Through a cryptographic authentication protocol and without sharing user data, service providers can accept credentials from users who are on-boarded by other providers and vice-versa.
Token-curated registry
By getting listed in the global vendor directory, service providers reach all participants of the network and gain visibility for their unique services.
If your company is interested in being part of the first wave of service providers, to help expand the geographic coverage of the Cardstack membership network, please email us at partnerships@cardstack.com.
