Which one should you pick?

Choose Mintlify if

Engineers own the docs and live in Git. MDX components, OpenAPI playgrounds, and local preview are core to the workflow; the trade-off is tier-gated analytics and white labeling.

Choose Document360 if

A support or product team owns a knowledge base and wants a portal editor with workflows and article analytics. Accept that MDX support is limited and there's no CLI or local development.

Where Jamdesk fits

If you want Mintlify's Git-and-MDX developer workflow but Document360's everything-included posture on features like PDF export, Jamdesk combines both: analytics, AI chat, white labeling, and PDF export on every plan at one flat rate, with a one-command migration from Mintlify.
