01.Evaluation guide

Who it suits

A team designing APIs visually in a Git-based workspace, with an OpenAPI editor, hosted interactive docs and mock servers, at $56 a month for Basic with three users included.

Consider something else if…

You want AI features, llms.txt or an MCP server, which Stoplight's pages do not state. Every logged-in user counts toward the per-user fee, SAML SSO starts at Pro Team, and docs versioning needs Startup or above.
