ReadMe
Developer hub platform for creating interactive API documentation with built-in metrics and user management.
Overview
ReadMe is a developer hub platform that turns API documentation into an interactive experience. It auto-generates docs from OpenAPI specs, lets developers try API calls directly in the browser with their own keys, and provides metrics on API usage and documentation engagement.
The free tier supports one project with basic features. The Startup plan at $99/month adds custom branding, multiple projects, and advanced metrics. Enterprise plans include SSO, custom integrations, and dedicated support.
