Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.

When to choose Mintlify

• A team maintains developer documentation that must track a changing product.
• A company wants docs usable by AI agents as well as humans.
• A startup needs hosted docs with a custom domain without building the platform.

When to choose something else

• The need is a one-off static document rather than living documentation.
• The budget cannot cover Pro-tier pricing for documentation hosting.

A practical starting workflow

1. Import or write the initial documentation set.
2. Connect the product source so docs can self-update.
3. Publish on the hosted platform or a custom domain.
4. Assign editor seats and review the credit consumption.
5. Audit the docs after product changes to confirm updates applied.

Check before committing

• Confirm the current plan limits and credit mechanics on the pricing page before committing.
• Customer case metrics are vendor-published, not independently measured.
• This review covers published product information, not a hands-on docs test.
