Better docs. Lower price.
ReadMe is a well-known API documentation platform but its Growth plan starts at $99/mo with no free hosted tier, no AI features, no mock server, and no MCP. Outworx ships all of that on Pro at $9/mo and unlocks RBAC, audit log, and PR previews on Business at $19/mo.

What ReadMe doesn't ship
$99/mo without the AI, mocks, or MCP.
ReadMe focuses on REST docs and changelog publishing. The features that anchor a modern API platform — AI grounding, hosted mocks, MCP for AI agents — aren't available at any tier. Outworx ships all four on Pro at $9/mo.
AI chat trained on your API
Floating Ask-AI drawer grounded in your spec. Outworx auto-syncs the embedding index every spec push. ReadMe has a search bar; not retrieval-augmented Q&A.
MCP server per project
Plug your spec into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline. 12 tools out of the box: list endpoints, generate types, run live calls, ask docs. No ReadMe equivalent.
Free hosted mock server
Schema-walked responses, Prefer-header steering, stateful overrides, GraphQL execution. ReadMe has no hosted mock — you wire up Prism / WireMock yourself.
GraphQL SDL support
Real GraphQL execution against your schema; selection-set aware, variables, mutations. ReadMe focuses on REST.

Why switch
What teams gain by leaving ReadMe.
Save $90+/mo with strictly more features
Outworx Pro at $9/mo includes AI features, MCP server, hosted mock server, webhooks playground, auto-sync, and PR previews. ReadMe charges $99/mo for the Growth plan and ships none of those.
Instant setup — no onboarding wait
Upload your spec and your docs are live in seconds. ReadMe requires onboarding-style setup, owner outreach, and team configuration before you can ship.
Free hosted mock per spec on every plan
Schema-walked responses, Prefer-header steering, stateful overrides, GraphQL execution. ReadMe has no equivalent.
Enterprise foundation included
Business plan unlocks RBAC, audit log with HMAC SIEM webhook, configurable retention, PR preview deploys, and CLI/Action discoverability. ReadMe gates similar features behind Enterprise pricing.
Leave ReadMe behind.
Upload your OpenAPI, Swagger, or GraphQL spec. AI chat, MCP server, mock server, and hosted docs in 60 seconds.
