Pro, Business, Growth, and Scale Plans
Docsbook has five plans. Free is free forever — and it already includes reader-facing AI chat (on a smaller monthly token budget) and full SEO / GEO / AEO. Pro is a monthly subscription that adds translations, advanced AI chat configuration (custom system prompt, chat hooks, MCP Source of Truth), search & feedback analytics, and a much larger AI token budget. Business is a separate, higher tier: it includes everything in Pro plus a set of Business-exclusive capabilities — custom domain, white-label, webhooks, and bring-your-own API keys (for both AI chat and translations) — on top of higher usage limits. Growth and Scale sit alongside Pro and Business: Growth carries the same feature set as Pro, and Scale carries the same feature set as Business — each with a larger monthly AI token budget than its counterpart, for teams whose usage has outgrown Pro or Business.

On Every Plan (including Free)#
AI Chat#
A chatbot trained on your documentation runs on every plan, Free included. Plans differ by the monthly AI token budget, not by a feature switch — Free gets a smaller budget, and Pro, Growth, Business, and Scale progressively larger ones (Growth's budget is larger than Pro's; Scale's is the largest of all). Bringing your own provider and API key (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic) — with a custom model of your choice — is a Business/Scale-only capability; see Business/Scale-Only Features below.
SEO / GEO / AEO#
Meta tags, sitemap.xml, OpenGraph, Twitter cards, JSON-LD (WebSite, Organization, FAQ), canonical URLs — available on every plan, Free included. Each language version is indexed separately.
What PRO (and Growth) Add#
Growth includes everything below that Pro does — same features, larger AI token budget.
1. Automatic Translation#
Translate to 15 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Polish, Dutch.
Business and Scale include a higher monthly translation limit than Pro/Growth.
How to set up: Translation Guide
2. Advanced AI Chat Configuration#
Custom AI chat system prompt, chat hooks (pre / post / streaming), the MCP Source of Truth indexing graph, and the AI chat analysis dashboard.
3. Larger AI Token Budget#
Pro raises the monthly AI token budget well above the Free allowance; Growth raises it further still. Business raises it above Pro, and Scale raises it further still — the largest budget of any plan.
4. Extended Analytics#
Free shows the last 24 hours. Pro, Growth, Business, and Scale show 7 / 14 / 30 days of views, visitors, top pages, referrers, and search queries — plus search & feedback analytics.
5. Private Docs#
Switch a workspace from public to private, then require a password and/or your own SSO/OIDC identity provider (Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, or Okta) before anyone but the owner can read it. Optionally restrict SSO sign-in to a single email domain. How to set up: SSO Setup
Business/Scale-Only Features#
These capabilities are exclusive to the Business and Scale plans — Pro and Growth do not include them:
- Custom domain — use
docs.yourcompany.cominstead ofdocsbook.io/yourname/repo. Branded URL, better for SEO, free SSL via Vercel. How to set up: Domain Guide - White-label — hide the "Powered by Docsbook" badge across all pages.
- Webhooks — subscribe to workspace events (content indexed, translations, chat activity, and more). Free, Pro, and Growth have no webhook slots; Business and Scale get up to 25 per workspace.
- Bring your own AI/translation API key — configure your own provider, API key, and model for AI chat and/or translations (separate keys for each), instead of using Docsbook's shared quota.
Higher Usage Limits on Business and Scale#
On top of the Business/Scale-only features above, Business and Scale also raise the numeric limits shared with Pro/Growth:
- AI chat — higher monthly request limit than Pro/Growth (Scale is the highest of all)
- Translations — higher monthly limit than Pro/Growth (Scale is the highest of all)
Growth and Scale#
Growth and Scale sit alongside Pro and Business as separate plans with larger AI token budgets:
- Growth ($349/month) — the same feature set as Pro, with a larger monthly AI token budget. For teams that have outgrown Pro's usage limits but don't need the Business-only capabilities.
- Scale ($899/month) — the same feature set as Business, with the largest monthly AI token budget of any plan. For teams that have outgrown Business's usage limits.
