Five decisions that make this product different
Every knowledge base tool has an editor and a search box. The differences that matter show up at article 400, at renewal, and the first time an auditor asks a question.
- Unlimited readers
- Workflow on every plan
- Cited AI answers
- Export without a fee
Why choose TheDocs over another knowledge base platform?
TheDocs is built around four commitments: you pay for authors rather than readers, the operationally important features are on every paid plan rather than gated behind an enterprise tier, every AI answer carries a citation to the source article, and you can export everything at any time at no charge.
- Unlimited public readers and unlimited articles on all plans.
- Review workflow, versioning and SSO from the second tier, not the top one.
- AI grounded strictly in your own published content, with sources shown.
- Markdown, HTML, PDF and API export - no fee, no proprietary format.
- Data residency in India, the EU or the US.
- Built and supported by a team you can actually reach.
We charge for authors, not for audience
A knowledge base succeeds when more people read it. Pricing that scales with page views punishes exactly the outcome you are working towards.
- Public readers are unlimited on every plan and are never counted.
- Author seats can be reassigned as often as you need - handy for contractors and seasonal writers.
- Article count is not a lever. A 40-article help centre and a 4,000-article one cost the same to publish.
The features that matter at scale are not gated
Review workflow, version history and single sign-on are usually what a growing team needs second and what vendors reserve for the tier above.
- Review and approval workflow from the Growth plan onward.
- SAML 2.0 and OIDC single sign-on included, not sold as a security add-on.
- Unlimited version history with side-by-side comparison and one-click restore.
- Search analytics from day one, because you cannot fix a gap you cannot see.
AI that shows its work
A confident wrong answer in a help centre costs more than no answer at all. Everything the AI produces is traceable to an article you wrote.
- Answers are generated only from your published content - never from a general web crawl.
- Every answer links to the source article and section.
- When nothing in your content covers the question, the assistant says so and offers a handoff.
- Ungrounded questions are logged as content gaps, so the AI tells you what to write next.
Your content is portable by design
Lock-in in this category is usually accidental: content ends up in a format that only one vendor reads. We treat export as a feature, not a concession.
- Export to Markdown, HTML or branded PDF at any time, at no cost.
- A REST API that returns full article content, not just metadata.
- Media files exported alongside articles with links rewritten to relative paths.
- Thirty days of export access after a subscription ends.
A team you can actually reach
TheDocs is built in Noida by Great Developers, who have shipped and supported business software for over a decade. Support is not a chatbot you cannot escape.
- Named contacts on Business and Enterprise plans.
- Migration run with you, not handed to you as a documentation link.
- Roadmap input from customers, and a public changelog.
- INR billing with GST invoicing for Indian customers.
When TheDocs is the wrong choice
Nobody wins from a bad fit discovered in month three. If one of these describes you, say so on the demo call and we will tell you what we would use instead.
You want a helpdesk
TheDocs deflects tickets and integrates with Zendesk, Freshdesk and others - but it does not manage tickets, queues or agents. Keep your helpdesk.
You need docs-as-code with full Git parity
We support Markdown import and a REST API, but if your writers live in pull requests against a repo and want previews per branch, a Git-native tool will fit better.
You want a general company wiki
If most of your content is meeting notes, project pages and internal chatter, a wiki or workspace tool is a better home. TheDocs is optimised for content that gets published and maintained.
You need an LMS
We support read acknowledgement on procedures, but there are no courses, quizzes, scores or certificates. If compliance training is the goal, buy an LMS.
