About
ReadMe is a documentation platform for building and publishing interactive API docs. It combines a WYSIWYG editor with Git-backed workflows so teams can keep documentation synchronized as they write, review, and ship APIs.
The platform includes versioning, branching, reusable content, custom MDX components, and customizable themes to support both technical writers and developers. It also provides developer-facing tools such as interactive API reference pages, request history, metrics, and built-in AI features for documentation assistance and quality control.
- Interactive API documentation and reference pages
- WYSIWYG editing and Git-style documentation workflows
- Branching, versioning, and reusable content
- Custom MDX components, HTML/CSS, and landing pages
- Developer dashboard, metrics, and request history
- AI tools including Ask AI, Agent Owlbert, AI Linter, and Docs Audit
Free Tier Value
Starter is $0 and the free tier is unusually generous: it includes the core docs product, AI tools, metrics, API access, custom domain, branching, reusable content, PDF export, and support, but it is capped at 1 project and 1 published version. Compared with Pro at $250/month, the free tier looks like roughly half of the practical value for a small team (about 50% of Pro on capability, but with meaningful caps), so a defensible FTV is about $125/month; the 14-day trial is separate and does not change the recurring free-tier value.
