Our verdict on Docny

Docny is a hosted documentation CMS for developer teams, API companies, open-source projects, technical writers, developer advocates, and engineering teams. Its feature set combines AI-generated documentation from GitHub codebases with WYSIWYG block editing, MDX authoring, API reference generation, managed hosting, and documentation analytics. It is particularly suited to teams that want narrative guides and interactive API references in one publishing workflow.

The Hobby plan costs £0 per month and includes one documentation project, a custom domain, block editing with MDX, GitHub sync, all integrations, analytics, and version history. The Pro plan costs £45 per month and adds unlimited projects, team members and collaboration, removal of Docny branding, Guardian AI, AI chat on published documentation, and doc audits. The paid tier is therefore aimed at teams managing multiple projects or requiring collaborative and AI-assisted publishing features.

GitHub synchronization is the central workflow: Docny can update documentation after repository pushes, while OpenAPI 3.1 and Swagger 2.0 JSON or YAML specifications can produce API references. Interactive API pages support authentication and request configuration, and published sites can include embedded AI chat. Integrations include Jira, Algolia, Slack, Notion, Intercom, Linear, and Discord. Choose Docny if your documentation process is GitHub-led and you want hosted sites, API exploration, versioning, and analytics together. Teams seeking a broader repository workflow or a free plan with multiple projects should consider alternatives.
