Why switch from Stoplight?
Stoplight is a full API design platform with mocking, linting, and governance. If you only need docs, it is overkill. Outworx Docs focuses on one thing and does it exceptionally well.
Start free, upgrade when you need to. Stoplight has no free hosted docs tier, while Outworx gives you a fully featured project at $0 with no credit card required.
Upload your spec and get live docs in seconds. Stoplight requires setting up a project, connecting repos, and configuring build pipelines before your docs go live.
Built-in AI features give you natural language search, auto-generated descriptions, and smart code examples. These are included in every Outworx plan at no extra cost.
