Kordiam review
A publication-focused planning hub with workflows, approvals, recurring stories, and CMS integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Kordiam is a cloud-based editorial planning platform for newsrooms, magazines, broadcasters, and communications teams. It brings story and campaign planning, monthly calendars, story lists, assignments, progress tracking, publication statuses, approvals, and recurring content into one workspace. Teams can also link text and files to assignments, use custom fields and saved views, and coordinate content across multiple publication platforms. Its team-based plans cover organizations from five users to enterprise teams with more than 60 users.
Pricing is organized by team size and monthly billing choice. Extra-Small costs $263 per team per month monthly or $237 annually, with unlimited freelancers and support through the portal and email. Small costs $588 monthly or $529 annually, adding one free web training. Medium costs $919 monthly or $827 annually, with two free web trainings, while Large costs $1,250 monthly or $1,125 annually, also with two trainings. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. The tier structure suits organizations that need editorial operations features across a team, though the starting price makes Kordiam a considered purchase for smaller groups.
Kordiam’s ecosystem fit is a central strength. Its integrations include WordPress, Drupal, LivingDocs, Aptoma, WoodWing, Purple, CUE, Glide Publishing Platform, Slack, Microsoft Entra ID, and Okta. API access and XML export add options for connecting planning data with other systems. That combination is particularly relevant to publication teams managing content across editorial and CMS environments. Kordiam is a strong choice for organizations that need structured publication planning, recurring-story management, and approval coordination; teams seeking a free, low-cost, mobile-first, or AI-oriented calendar should look elsewhere.
