Komment review
Komment turns connected repositories into searchable, continuously refreshed technical wikis.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Komment analyzes connected code repositories and turns them into technical documentation for teams building living codebase wikis. It generates searchable, shareable wikis with project overviews, usage instructions, API documentation, endpoint details, architecture diagrams, implementation notes, security insights, dependency information, and contextual code snippets. It also inserts in-code comments through repository pull requests and supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Teams can use the web product or self-host it, with enterprise VPC and on-premises deployment options described for organizations with specific hosting requirements.
The published plans show a useful free starting point: Free costs $0 per month, supports unlimited public repositories, is free forever, and requires no credit card. A 30-day paid-plan trial is also available. Build includes 5 private wikis, 10k maximum pages, 5 collaborator seats, and 90 days of archive retention. Grow expands those limits to 20 private wikis, 100k maximum pages, 10 collaborator seats, and 1 year of archive retention. Scale supports 100 private wikis, 1 million maximum pages, 50 collaborator seats, 3 years of archive retention, and Markdown documentation submitted to repositories as pull requests.
Komment’s strongest fit is a Git-based engineering workflow where documentation must stay connected to changing code rather than live as a separately maintained knowledge base. Automatic refreshes, searchable wiki organization, repository pull requests, and support for three major Git hosting platforms give it a broad documentation workflow. The plan structure also makes capacity, collaboration, and archive retention the main upgrade drivers. Teams documenting public repositories can start with Free; teams with private codebases should choose based on wiki, page, collaborator, and retention needs. Organizations that do not want repository-centered documentation or need a narrower documentation tool may prefer an alternative.
