What is GitBook?

GitBook is a documentation platform for technical teams that combines a visual block based editor with bidirectional Git Sync, letting engineers edit Markdown through GitHub or GitLab pull requests while other team members use the browser editor. It supports interactive API playgrounds, preview deployments, and content built for both human readers and AI retrieval through LLM optimizations.

GitBook is priced per site with additional per user fees, ranging from a free plan for individuals to Premium and Ultimate tiers that add AI search, an AI Assistant, custom domains, and analytics. Enterprise plans add SAML SSO, white glove migration, and dedicated support. A 14 day free trial activates automatically when a collaborator is invited to a workspace, and published documentation is always free to read.
