# Dosu review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Shared knowledge layer that keeps docs and coding agents in sync Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. Dosu captures what a team and its coding agents learn and turns it into documentation and a shared knowledge base. It updates docs as code changes, generates docs on request, syncs existing documentation, and exposes the knowledge to coding agents through an MCP server and a command-line tool. - **Category:** AI Agents - **Made by:** Dosu - **Website:** https://dosu.dev - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Tight if your code is private: the free plan covers public repositories only. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, Dosu has a free plan, and paid plans start at $16 per month, billed annually ($192 upfront). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** 200 credits a month, public repositories only. - **Free trial:** Free trial of Pro offered; length not stated on the page. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | 200 credits a month, public repositories only, self-documenting PRs, doc generation, MCP server and web chat. | | Pro | $16 per month, billed annually ($192 upfront) | 4,000 credits a month, private repositories, private knowledge bases, Slack, Confluence, Notion and Coda, analytics. | | Enterprise | Custom | Credits as needed, SSO and custom RBAC, audit logs, Linear and custom integrations, Slack support. | Read from https://dosu.dev/pricing on Nov 13, 2026. Prices change, so confirm with Dosu before buying. ## Key features - **Self-documenting pull requests:** Documentation is updated when the code it describes changes. - **Doc generation and sync:** Dosu writes docs from a description you give it and can connect to existing documentation to maintain it in place. - **Shared knowledge for agents:** Coding agents connect over MCP and contribute what they learn, so other agents reuse it instead of re-discovering it. - **Source integrations:** GitHub and GitLab repositories on all plans, and Slack, Confluence, Notion and Coda on Pro and above. - **Observability and analytics:** Pro adds views of what the team is working on and what Dosu's contribution has been. ## Good for - Open-source maintainers on public repositories, using the free plan - Engineering teams that want docs to track code changes - Teams running several coding agents that should share context ## Worth knowing - The Free plan is limited to public repositories and 200 credits a month. - The $16 Pro price is shown on the annual setting, as $192 billed upfront; the monthly-billing price was not readable. - Linear and custom integrations are Enterprise only; Pro covers Slack, Confluence, Notion and Coda. - Extra credits can be added on Pro, but the page does not give their price. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Dosu keeps documentation and a shared knowledge base up to date from your code and your coding agents. The free plan is public repositories only with 200 credits a month, and private repositories need Pro at $16 a month billed yearly. - **Value for money: B.** Pro is $16 a month on yearly billing ($192 upfront), under the category's $19.99 cheaper-quarter start. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free gives 200 credits a month but only on public repositories, so private code means paying. - **Features: C.** Self-updating pull-request docs, doc generation, an MCP server and chat. Linear and custom integrations are Enterprise only, and extra credits have no published price. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. You connect repositories and knowledge sources before it does anything. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web product with GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Confluence, Notion and Coda links plus an MCP server and CLI. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Dosu's own pages on 13 November 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.4 is higher than 123 of the 178 other AI agents we grade. It costs $192 a year. - You could make: Wiki: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: It plugs into other products, GitHub, GitLab and Slack among them, and has an API.
