- Works for a team of up to 5 editors that can live without the AI agents

- Not for you if you want an internal wiki, as it publishes docs to readers
How we grade them
| 2.2GPADocument360Fair | 2.2GPAMintlifyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThere isn't a price anywhere on the site. Every plan is a custom quote worked out from team accounts, workspaces, languages, security needs and AI usage, and the AI chatbot and Premium Suite are add-ons on top of that. With nothing published, there's nothing to set against the $15-a-month middle. | DPro is $450 a month billed annually ($540 monthly), above the category's dearest tenth at $249 and far above its $18 middle. There is no paid plan between free and that. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan, and the only way in is to book a live demo: that's how the free trial starts, and the site never says how long it runs. A trial you have to ask a salesperson for is barely a trial. | BStarter is free with 5 editor seats, a web editor, Git sync, a custom domain, authentication, an MCP server and an API playground, though no AI credits. The Pro trial is 14 days with no card. |
| Features | BMarkdown and WYSIWYG editors with revision history, public and private knowledge bases side by side on their own domains, a workflow builder for review cycles, analytics on searches and reader feedback, and Eddy AI drafting articles and citing sources. The job is covered, with the chatbot sold separately. | CWeb editor, Git sync, an assistant, Autopilot, an API playground, MCP and access control. Gaps: the AI agents run on credits Starter lacks, and SSO, SCIM and role permissions are Enterprise only. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It's hosted, so there's no server to run, and writers choose between Markdown and WYSIWYG, but you can't sign up and poke around — it starts with a booked demo — and there are projects, domains and review workflows to set up. | CNo store rating on record. You set up a repo or the web editor, a domain and authentication. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA web app with a Chrome extension for searching articles, a Customer API of more than 180 endpoints with OAuth 2.0, and Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, GitHub and Zapier connected. No desktop or mobile apps are listed. | BWeb, with Git sync, an MCP server and API playground, and admin APIs on Pro. No desktop or phone apps. |
| Best for | customer help centres with review workflows | developer documentation with built-in AI agents |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
