Which plan is right#
Just exploring?
Free. No card required. 5 pages is enough to see whether Dokly fits your workflow. The 14-day Pro trial unlocks the full feature set so you can evaluate.
Solo / indie?
Starter ($19/mo). Search, 3 projects, 25 pages each. Right for a personal project or a single product up to ~25 pages.
Real product?
Pro ($49/mo). This is the plan most paying customers are on. Custom domain, unlimited pages, OpenAPI playground, analytics, AI credits.
Multi-product team?
Scale ($99/mo). 25 projects, 5 team members, more storage. The right tier when you have a product suite or a docs team larger than one.
For Enterprise (SSO, BYOK, custom retention, SLAs), book a call.
Trial#
Every new account gets 14 days of Pro features automatically. No card, no sign-up step. After 14 days, you drop to Free unless you've upgraded.
The trial covers everything Pro includes — custom domains, AI generation, analytics — so you can see whether it changes how you work before paying.
See Trial for what happens at day 14.
Annual discount#
Pay annually for 2 months free. The toggle is on the pricing page and in Settings → Billing.
Switching plans#
Upgrade: instant. Downgrade: takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Your data is preserved on downgrade — pages over the new limit are hidden, not deleted, until you upgrade again or remove them.
Where the money goes#
You're paying for:
- Hosted infrastructure (database, CDN, edge compute)
- TLS certificates and custom domain provisioning
- Storage and bandwidth
- AI inference (your monthly credit bucket)
- Product development
- Support
You're not paying for:
- Per-seat fees
- "Premium support" tiers
- Locked features at higher AI usage caps (top-ups are linear, not artificially gated)
