Mintlify review

Mintlify ranks first because its free Starter plan covers what most developer relations teams need to launch: 5 editor seats, a custom domain, a web editor, Git sync, an API playground and an MCP server that lets AI agents read the docs. Writers can work in the browser while engineers edit the same content in Git. Pro, at $450 a month billed annually or $540 billed monthly, removes the seat cap and adds preview deployments, Admin APIs, platform and agent analytics, user feedback and the AI Assistant, which uses 25 credits per answer from a 10,000 credit monthly allowance. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, RBAC, audit logs, white labeling and self-hosting. The gap between free and Pro is the main drawback: a team that needs analytics or preview deployments jumps straight to a $5,400 yearly bill. Teams that want per-seat pricing at a lower entry point should compare GitBook.
