A hosted, fully-featured Docusaurus alternative
Doctave is a hosted Docusaurus alternative for building beautiful developer portals, API references, and SDK documentation with first-class Git integration
How is Doctave different from Docusaurus?
A hosted platform for modern technical documentation
Unlike a static site generator like Docusaurus, Doctave is a platform for building beautiful developer portals, API references, and knowledge bases
When should I pick Docusaurus?
Docusaurus is a great when you want full control over your documentation. Being an open-source project, it's easy to contribute to and extend.
You will however need to dedicate more engineering resources to setup and maintain your documentation. Search, deployment pipelines, access control, and customizing plugins are all things that you will need to worry about yourself.
If you have dedicated documentation engineers, Docusaurus is a great choice that gives you full control over your documentation.
When should I pick Doctave?
If you want to get up and running quickly, Doctave is a great choice. Doctave takes care of the hosting, analytics, and preview environments for you, so you can focus on writing great content.
Doctave also supports OpenAPI documentation out of the box, letting you unify your API references and product documentation.
If you want a great looking, fully-featured developer portal without dedicated engineering resources, Doctave is the better way to go.

Trusted by teams that care about their documentation
Doctave powers the developer documentation of world-class API-first, developer tools, and cybersecurity companies
"Doctave has proven to be an ideal solution for our public API documentation"
Upvest had always pursued a documentation-as-code strategy, using an open-source static site generator, but we faced a challenge building a Git-driven system that could manage access to content for multiple API versions and audiences.
Doctave provides us that flexibility out-of-the-box whilst allowing us to maintain absolute control of our OpenAPI spec and documentation development processes.“
Geoffrey Teale
Head of Developer eXperience at Upvest
"Adopting Doctave as api.video's documentation platform was a game-changer"
The flexible content structure enabled us to organize our information more intuitively, while the ability to customize the design helped maintain the api.video branding.
Doctave’s out-of-the-box integration with popular analytics tools gave us the ability to track and understand user engagement with our documentation.
