FAQ

Choosing a documentation platform

What is the most important factor when choosing a documentation platform?

It depends on your team. If you have engineers who prefer a Git-based workflow, tools like Mintlify or Docusaurus give you maximum control. If you want to publish docs without writing every word from scratch, Docsio is the only platform that generates content directly from your existing website, saving hours of manual work.

How much should documentation software cost?

Most documentation platforms charge between $60 and $350 per month for features like custom domains and team collaboration. Docsio Pro is $60 per month and includes AI generation, brand extraction, custom domains, and hosting. Many alternatives charge 3 to 5 times more for comparable functionality.

Do I need to write my documentation manually?

With most platforms, yes. GitBook, ReadMe, Mintlify, Archbee, and Docusaurus all start with a blank editor. Docsio is the only platform that generates your initial documentation automatically by reading your existing website. You then edit with an AI agent instead of writing from scratch.
