The short answer

Pick GitBook if your developers own the docs. Pick Clevera if your support or product team does.

Best for support-led help centers

Support and product people write and publish, with no Git or pull requests.

You want a how-to video next to your articles, made from one screen recording.

Common questions

Straight answers about choosing between Clevera and GitBook.

Is Clevera cheaper than GitBook?

For a support team, usually. GitBook’s own domain starts at $65 a site a month billed yearly, plus $12 per user. Clevera’s starts at $29 a month billed yearly, and editors are free. GitBook’s Free plan includes Git Sync, which Clevera doesn’t offer.

What does GitBook do better?

Docs as code. Two-way Git Sync, change requests, API reference docs and docs that adapt to each reader are GitBook’s strengths. If your engineers own the docs, GitBook is built for them.

Can I move my GitBook docs to Clevera?

Yes, and the import is free on every plan. Pages, page groups, images and links between pages come over, so you don’t start from a blank site.

Do I need a developer for Clevera?

No. Your team writes in an editor and publishes. There’s no repo, branch or build to manage.

Can I keep GitBook and still use Clevera?

Yes. On Pro, Clevera can publish its articles to GitBook, so you can make videos and articles in Clevera and keep GitBook as your docs site.
