How much does Mintlify cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: As of September 2026 the Mintlify pricing page shows three tiers. Starter is free and capped at 5 editor seats, covering the platform, a custom domain, the web editor, authentication, an MCP server and an API playground, but no AI Assistant, Agent or Automations. Pro is shown at $450 under the page’s default annual billing toggle, with unlimited seats, Agent at 10,000 credits per month plus $0.01 per additional credit, Assistant at 25 credits per answer and Automations at 250 credits per update. Enterprise is custom, adding SSO, SCIM, RBAC and self-hosting. This supersedes the two-tier, seatless structure the page showed in July 2026. Mintlify is an AI-first documentation platform known for polished output.
Mintlify Pricing (as of July 2026)
Mintlify collapsed its tiers in 2026 — the pricing page now shows only two.
| Plan | Price | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | Free | Custom domain, AI chat search, advanced analytics, 5,000 AI credits |
| Enterprise | Custom | SSO, white-label AI, SOC 2 Type II, dedicated infrastructure, custom SLAs, dedicated CSM |
The former Pro ($150/month) and Growth ($550/month) tiers are gone. Usage on Starter is metered via AI credits (5,000 included) rather than per-editor seats, and everything above Starter is a custom Enterprise conversation.
How Mintlify compares
| Tool | Entry | Model |
|---|---|---|
| Mintlify | Free (Starter) + Enterprise custom | AI-credits metered |
| ReadMe | ~$99/month | Per-project |
| GitBook | ~$65/user/month | Per-user |
| Docusaurus | Free (self-hosted) | DIY |
Mintlify's free Starter tier is now unusually generous (custom domain + AI chat + 5,000 credits at $0), which lowers the entry barrier significantly; teams needing SSO, compliance, or white-label AI move straight to Enterprise.
Editor's Note: Mintlify's pull is visibly more polished docs output and an AI-first search/chat experience, which is why teams pay a premium over self-hosted Docusaurus. Re-checked July 2026: Mintlify dropped its Pro ($150) and Growth ($550) tiers entirely — the pricing page is now just a free Starter (with a custom domain, AI chat, and 5,000 AI credits) and a custom Enterprise — so most small teams can now run on the free tier and only jump to Enterprise for SSO, SOC 2, or white-label AI. Budget the AI-credit consumption rather than editor seats. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
