Archbee
Documentation platform for public and internal knowledge portals
What is Archbee?
Archbee is a documentation platform for building knowledge portals: product docs, developer and API documentation, user guides and internal process docs. Teams write in a multiplayer editor with drafts and Git-style branches, sync Markdown from GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, and publish to a custom domain. Readers are unlimited and free; pricing depends on the plan and on the number of team members who contribute.
Archbee is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $80 per month, billed annually, with 5 team members (Growing). See every plan
Good for
- Software companies publishing product and API documentation
- Teams that keep docs in Git but want a hosted portal
- Docs with many readers and few writers, since readers are free
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan: once the 14-day trial ends, a paid plan is required.
- Plans include 5 team members; each extra contributor costs $5 to $12 a month depending on the plan and billing period.
- Q&A, insights, the app widget, public API access and PDF export are add-ons on Growing and Scaling, each $80 a month on annual billing.
- SAML and OIDC SSO, AI-assisted translations and the Intercom and Zendesk integrations are Enterprise only.
Key features
- Editor with branches and drafts
- A multiplayer editor with drafts and native branches lets writers change content in isolation, have it reviewed and merge it when ready, with or without a Git workflow.
- Docs-as-code sync
- Markdown or MDX kept in GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket can be built into a docs site, and OpenAPI or Swagger files generate API documentation, on every plan.
- Published portals
- Spaces can be public or private and published to a custom domain hosted by Archbee. Password protection is on every plan; guest accounts, magic links and JWT start on Scaling.
- Reusable content
- Variables and reusable snippets update everywhere when changed, and version and space links connect multi-version and multi-product docs. These start on the Scaling plan.
- AI add-on
- Ask AI answers reader questions from the documentation and Write Assist helps draft content. It is a paid add-on on Growing and Scaling with a monthly token allowance.
- Desktop apps and export
- Archbee runs in any modern browser and offers macOS, Windows and Linux apps. Content can be exported as Markdown or as rendered PDF files.
