# Archbee

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/docs-platforms/archbee/

Hosted documentation platform for product and API docs and knowledge portals, with a block editor, GitHub sync and OpenAPI import.

## Who it suits

A team that wants a block-editor documentation portal for product and API docs, with unlimited readers and project spaces, GitHub sync and OpenAPI import, from $80 a month billed annually.

Consider something else if You want a monthly-billed price on the page or SDK generation. Archbee shows the annual figure by default, gives request code samples only, meters AI as a paid add-on, and puts SSO and versioning on higher plans.

## iScore

68 / 100 (80% interval 60–77), rank 9 of 10 in docs-platforms — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.

inetGeek's own reading, computed from sourced facts against category peers by disclosed rules. Not a provider claim. Intervals are 80%; a provider with few documented facts is pulled toward the category middle rather than scored on what little is known.
Read this score with care:
- Documented but not scored, because the page states it as text with no comparable number or a yes/limited/no (a one-time, usage-based or other-vendor price, or a per-site choice): minimum_paid_price. Read them on the provider page; the score neither rewards nor penalises what it could not compare.
