About Redocly
Redocly builds tools for API documentation, starting from Redoc, a widely used open-source renderer that turns an OpenAPI description into a three-panel reference page. The company's hosted platform adds a browser editor, Git-based review, guides written in Markdown, Markdoc or React, interactive try-it consoles for OpenAPI and GraphQL, mock servers and an API catalog for organisations with many APIs. The open-source Redocly CLI lints, bundles and validates API descriptions and is popular in CI pipelines even with other docs hosts. Pricing is a flat price per plan with unlimited seats, rather than per editor, which helps when many engineers contribute; there is a free trial, and extra projects cost more per year. It is browser-based, with the CLI running locally. It is a focused choice for teams whose docs are mostly API reference; companies that need a broad help centre or internal wiki will want something else.
Best for: API teams that want OpenAPI-driven reference docs with flat, seat-free pricing.
