Where Scalar stands against these 9
Scalar's own sourced figures, placed among the alternatives above that document the same thing in the same unit. A rank here is one criterion, not a verdict; the iScore above weighs all of them.
- Free tier
- Yes. 5 of the 8 alternatives that document it have one: Fern, Fumadocs, GitBook, Mintlify, ReadMe.
- Entry paid plan
- Pro is $150/month ($125/month billed yearly): 5 editor seats, up to 15 APIs, 1 SDK up to 100 endpoints…3rd cheapest of the 4 that document it. Cheapest: Bump.sh — $50/month for Basic: 10 API docs, 5 MCP tools, a custom domain and CLI and GitHub integration.
A rank whose 80% interval overlaps its neighbour's is an ordering, not a finding; the intervals are on each provider's page and in /scores.json.
