Hi everyone,
We’ve been using GitBook for documenting our API and internal tools, but it’s starting to feel too restrictive — especially with limited customization, pricing jumps, and a lack of deep OpenAPI support.
We’re looking for GitBook alternatives that better support:
-
OpenAPI or Swagger integration
-
Markdown-based workflow (ideally Git-based)
-
Versioning and branching for docs
-
Easy CI/CD integration
-
Interactive API try-it-out features
-
Minimal overhead to set up and maintain
Has anyone here made the switch from GitBook to something more developer-focused? Bonus if it helps reduce the split between API specs and documentation.
Would love to hear your experience and stack

Hi there,
Redocly, Docusaurus with Redoc, and Stoplight are solid picks.
If you want full control, Docusaurus + Git + CI is a great combo. Redocly is great if OpenAPI is your main focus.
