WHY SWITCH
Why Teams Switch from Mintlify to Dokly
Mintlify's recent price increases have teams looking for alternatives.
84% Cost Savings

No Hidden Fees
Mintlify charges extra for AI usage—250 messages included, then $0.15 per message. With Dokly, pricing is simple and predictable with no surprise overages.
Faster Setup
Skip the Git repository setup and CI/CD pipelines. Dokly's live preview editor lets you create and publish docs in 5 minutes, not hours.
Same MDX Power
