How UmmahCube compares
Checked 2026-11-09. Moving an organization off big-tech tools is a real job. Here is what you can move today, and what you cannot yet.
Live: open to everyone and works today. Beta: you can use it now, and we are still improving it. Early access: places are limited, and a person reads every application. Coming: not open to anyone yet, and we promise no date.
This is a plain list of what works today, not a claim that UmmahCube does everything Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 does. It does not yet. We are the communications half of an office suite. Documents and shared files are coming.
Schools. Not for student records yet. Staff mail, parent announcements and a board room are the place to start.
