Theneo covers more API formats than most tools here: REST, AsyncAPI, SOAP, GraphQL and gRPC. Its free Starter plan includes 1 public project, 2 private projects, up to 20 team members, an advanced API explorer, automated changelog generation, project analytics and reader feedback, plus up to 100 AI search results for readers. Business costs $120 a month per workspace billed annually or $150 monthly and adds up to 7 projects, 50 team members, unlimited AI search and TheneoAI, custom branding and SEO, a custom domain and one developer portal. Growth at $400 a month billed annually adds custom CSS, custom AI prompts, up to 20 developer portals, IP allowlisting and Slack or Teams support. Enterprise adds self-hosting and SAML SSO. The free plan suits evaluation, but a branded public docs site needs Business.
