Who it suits
A team that wants a collaborative editor with two-way Git sync and an OpenAPI reference, priced per published site: Essential is $65 per site per month billed annually plus $12 per additional user, and the free plan covers one user.
Consider something else if…
You publish several docs sites or have many editors, since the bill grows with both. AI answers start at Essential, SAML SSO is Enterprise-only, and SDK generation is limited to code examples.
