Best for turning training videos into a help centre
Docsie turns videos and documents into knowledge bases, with a free plan and paid plans from $25 a month. The AI credits that pay for it run out: the free plan gives 12,500 once, not monthly, and a 30-minute video at standard quality uses about 15,000.
Who Docsie is for
- Fits if you have training videos and want text guides out of them
- Works for a small team that wants a knowledge base on its own domain
Who Docsie is not for
- Tight if you stay free, since 12,500 credits arrive once and a 30-minute video uses about 15,000
- Pricey if you add people, as Premium extra seats are $10 each and 5 seats cost $83 on Starter
- Watch out: Confluence, GitHub and GitLab connectors and Slack and Jira integrations start at Business, $249 a month
- Watch out: Enterprise is custom priced, and credit packs start at $0.70 per 1,000
Why Docsie gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyHobby is $25 a month billed annually ($29 monthly) for 1 seat, above the category's middle at $18 but well under its dearer quarter at $82.50. Starter is $83 for 5 seats.
- CFree plan and trialThe free plan has 12,500 AI credits once, 5 video uploads, 1 seat and 3 GB, with no card. A single half-hour video uses more than the credits you get, so you will hit the cap.
- CFeaturesVideo to documentation, knowledge bases and portals, document and website import, AI chat and translation, and a self-hosted edition. Work is metered in credits, which is the gap.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You upload, review and edit the generated pages, and set up the portal and domain.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with a self-hosted edition and connectors: Confluence, GitHub and GitLab on Business, and Slack, Jira, HubSpot, Salesforce and Zendesk.

Keep Docsie, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Docsie you could make: documents and help center. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 69 other docs and wiki tools grade higher. It costs $300 a year.
What you could make
- Documents and help center: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- It plugs into other products, Confluence, GitHub and GitLab among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Docsie’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
