Overview

If you're looking to find the ideal plan for your documentation needs, you're in the right spot. Let's dive into the options and features that make our plans as unique as your project. 🚀

Payment Plans

Annual vs. Monthly Billing

Choose what suits you best: our more flexible monthly billing or the annual option that comes with a neat discount. It's all about giving you options that fit your project's timeline and budget.

ACH Payments

For those who prefer a streamlined approach to payments, we offer the option for ACH payments.

Billing Security with MFA

Security is a top priority, and we accommodate cards that require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This means that every transaction is double-checked and verified by the issuing bank, adding an extra layer of security to comply with local regulations.

We ❤️ Open Source! Our commitment to the community extends beyond our own products. We actively contribute to and maintain several open source projects that you can use to enhance your own documentation and development processes.

Our Open Source Plan is designed to support and celebrate the open source community. It offers tools and resources to help your open source projects thrive.

The Open Source Plan includes all the features of the Startup plan, except:

• Custom Domains: Disabled; projects can only be accessed via their ReadMe subdomain (e.g., opensource.readme.io).
• Access Control: The project’s access is locked to Public. (Access to Project Admins Only and Site-wide Password cannot be selected.)
