FAQ

Docsio vs Archbee: common questions

Does Archbee have a trial?

Included in your seven-day trial and $10/month site subscription. No card is needed to try it. Subscribe after the trial to keep editing and hosting your site.

What does Archbee do that Docsio does not?

Archbee is designed for teams that need both internal and external knowledge portals in one platform. Their Scaling plan at $350 per month adds a review system, versioning, localization, and access control. These are features suited for larger documentation teams managing complex multi-audience portals over time. Docsio is focused on getting a branded, AI-generated external documentation site live quickly.

Which platform is better for AI search visibility?

As more people ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity instead of searching, docs need to be readable and citable by AI. This is called Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). Docsio ships auto-generated llms.txt, schema.org markup, answer-shaped content, and a built-in MCP server on every site, so your docs are structured for AI to crawl and cite. Archbee produces clean portals, but auto llms.txt and a built-in MCP server are not a standard part of its setup. No tool can guarantee AI rankings, but Docsio's output is built to be cited out of the box.

When should I choose Archbee over Docsio?

If your team needs internal documentation alongside external-facing docs, and you require features like content versioning, a review and approval workflow, localization for multiple languages, and access control for different reader groups, Archbee is worth evaluating. These are capabilities aimed at teams managing documentation as an ongoing, multi-stakeholder process.
