| Pricing | USD $100/month (Basic: 1,000 articles, 1 author, 1 knowledge base, unlimited readers, 100 AI credits) · free tier: None — no free version; 30-day free trial with no credit card required, extendable for free | USD $170/month (billed $2,040 annually) — Premium · free tier: Free plan (not a trial): knowledge base on a custom domain, search, versioning, unlimited viewers, 25,000 AI credits, no credit card, no expiry |
| Pricing model | Subscription | Subscription with credit-based AI usage plus one-time credit packs |
| Best for | Small-to-mid documentation or support teams of roughly 1-10 authors publishing a heavily branded public help centre or permissioned internal KB to a large reader population, who value responsive human support, included migration and HIPAA/GDPR agreements over the lowest sticker price — nonprofits and B Corps get a further 25% off. | Budget-conscious documentation teams, multilingual product doc teams, and agencies or ERP/SaaS implementation partners with recorded training or legacy PDFs to convert — especially those who can exploit the free tier, one-time credit packs, or non-profit/academic pricing. |
| Avoid if | You need a free or sub-$50 plan, have many casual or occasional authors (per-author fees compound fast), maintain a very large documentation estate on a lower tier due to the article caps, depend on heavy AI-assistant usage against low credit ceilings, or require customisation beyond CSS/HTML theming. | Your documentation workflow lives inside Jira, GitHub or Slack; you need formal approval, sign-off or document-locking for regulated/QMS use; you need a mobile app, SSO on a modest budget, or current high-volume peer evidence before signing. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
