You can easily generate API docs for free with Redoc (https://redocly.github.io/redoc/) , SwaggerUI (https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/) and many more so I am on the other side and think the the pricing is too high, especially the premium to use a custom domain.

What is the advantage of using your product to what is available for free except some CSS tweaks?

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. At Theneo we are working on automating the entire process of documenting and maintaining the API doc. Our goal is that developers can easily have the entire doc (including the content) ready. Right now those mentioned companies are giving a tool to build the API doc but developers still need to write the spec, come up with the content and text needed to make the API Doc readable. Basically at Theneo we are working on taking care of that as well.

hi naiv, Ana have explained what is the additional value we offer. As for the pricing being high:

Redocly's basic plan starts at $69/month billed annually - $828 per year, professional $300/month billed annually, and enterprise not listed.

Readme's startup plan starts at $99 per month per project and enterprise is $2000 per month/project, etc.

Theneo's basic plan starts at $20 per month and enterprise plan is $100 per month. There are obviously many other differences in these plans so feel free to go check them out yourself and compare pricing.
