Bump.sh focuses on API reference rather than general guides. It publishes doc portals and hubs from OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, OpenAPI Overlays and Arazzo documents, with a CLI and GitHub integration to deploy from CI. Basic costs $50 a month for 10 API docs, 5 MCP tools, 3 internal users and 20 guests, plus a custom domain and logo. Pro at $120 a month raises limits to 30 API docs, 50 MCP tools, 5 internal users and 40 guests, and adds the API Explorer, branches, full CI integration, release rollback, private MCP servers and an automatic changelog. Custom plans add SSO, a reverse proxy and embed mode and a 99.99% SLA. Bump.sh says every plan gets full human support. The limits suit API-first teams with several specs, but teams that need long-form tutorials and a rich editor will want a broader docs platform.
