GitBook Alternative

Stop upgrading your whole org for one docs project

Migrate from GitBook in one click. Per-project pricing, AI-powered evergreen docs, and a single invoice — no org-wide tier lock-in.

Save 20% on annual. Eligible GitBook migrations also receive a 1-month migration credit.

GitBook pain points you know too well

Great product, but the pricing model creates friction as your team grows.

Org-wide tier lock-in

Need advanced features for one project? You have to upgrade your entire organization. Every project, every user — all at the highest tier.

Per-user costs stack quickly

All users sit at the same tier price regardless of what they work on. Five users editing a simple changelog pay the same as five editing enterprise API docs.

Public and internal docs share a plan

Your public developer docs and internal knowledge base rarely need the same feature set. With GitBook, they're locked to the same plan anyway.

Honest pricing examples

Real scenarios comparing InkLoom's per-project model to GitBook's org-wide approach.

Simple team

2 projects, 5 users

A small team running two Pro documentation projects — one for public API docs and one for internal guides.

InkLoom (annual)$158/mo

2 Pro projects × $49/mo + 5 seats × $12/mo

Mixed-tier org

8 projects, 10 users

A growing org with 5 free projects (changelogs, FAQs), 2 Pro projects (API docs, guides), and 1 Ultimate project (enterprise portal).

InkLoom (annual)$377/mo

5 Free + 2 Pro × $49/mo + 1 Ultimate × $159/mo + 10 seats × $12/mo

Only pay Ultimate pricing for the project that needs it — not the entire org.

Prices shown at annual rates. Actual savings depend on your specific team size and project mix.

Why pay Ultimate prices for a simple changelog?

With InkLoom, every project gets its own tier. Mix Free, Pro, and Ultimate within a single organization — one invoice, maximum flexibility.

  • Free tier for simple changelogs, FAQs, and public guides
  • Pro tier for projects that need custom domains and analytics
  • Ultimate tier only where you need automation and scale

Frequently asked questions

How does the GitBook import work?

Our CLI-based importer connects to your GitBook workspace and pulls your content, page structure, and navigation. It converts GitBook-specific blocks to InkLoom's format automatically. The entire process typically takes a few minutes.

Will my URLs and redirects be preserved?

InkLoom preserves your page slugs during import. You can set up your custom domain and configure redirects in your project settings to ensure existing links continue working.

Can I keep some projects on GitBook while testing InkLoom?

Absolutely. Import one project first, test it out, and migrate the rest when you're ready. InkLoom doesn't require an all-or-nothing switch.

What about the migration credit?

Eligible GitBook migrations receive a 1-month credit on their first paid project. The credit is applied automatically when you import from GitBook during signup.

How does per-project pricing work?

Each project in your organization can be on a different tier — Free, Pro, or Ultimate. You only pay for the tier each project needs. Seats are shared across your organization, so you pay once per editor regardless of how many projects they access.
