Recommended Documentation Providers

Promptless works with all major documentation platforms. Here are the providers we recommend based on different team needs and use cases.

ProviderPrice RangeExample Promptless CustomerBest For
DocusaurusFree (open source)TemporalTeams with engineering resources that want rich customization
Fern$400+/moVellumTeams that want a premium offering with API-first support and interactivity
MintlifyFree - $250+/monthRunPodStartups and growing teams wanting modern, beautiful docs and quick setup
ReadMe$79+/monthCapillary TechnologiesAPI platforms prioritizing interactive developer experience without needs for previewing doc suggestions
GitBook$77+/monthEmporixSimpler products without needs for previewing doc suggestions

Warning

GitBook and ReadMe have technical limitations that prevent Promptless from generating live previews of documentation suggestions. You can still receive documentation updates with these providers, but you won’t be able to preview changes before they’re published. If live preview functionality is important for your team’s review process, consider using Fern, Mintlify, or Docusaurus instead.

When evaluating documentation platforms, the key factors to consider are:

  • Hosting: Self-hosted (Docusaurus) vs. managed platforms
  • API documentation: Auto-generation from OpenAPI specs vs. manual authoring
  • Collaboration: Real-time editing features and user limits for your team size
  • Customization: Complete control vs. pre-built themes
  • Budget: Free open source vs. paid managed services
  • Developer experience: Interactive API playground, code samples, and testing tools

Tip

Promptless works with all of these platforms, and more. If your docs can be synced to a git repo, Promptless can automatically create PRs with documentation updates.
