Multibase vs GitBook
GitBook is a documentation platform built around Git and developer workflows, priced per site and per user. Multibase is a help-center platform priced per plan, with several branded portals included. The question is which shape your content and your brands have.
For three branded help centers with custom domains and three editors, Multibase costs $49/mo (Growth) and GitBook about $231/mo (three Essential sites at $65 plus $12 per user), both billed annually. GitBook is the better fit for Git-based developer docs.

Les points forts de Multibase
Brands are included, not billed
Growth covers 3 branded portals for $49/mo. On GitBook each brand is another $65–$249 site, plus $12 for every editor.
Built for customer support content
Help-center reading experience, article feedback and AI answers for end customers — not developer reference docs.
Predictable AI
A fixed monthly query quota per plan instead of credits that run out per question.
Les points forts de GitBook
Docs-as-code
Git sync on every plan. If your engineers write docs in a repo and review them in pull requests, GitBook fits that workflow and Multibase does not.
Developer documentation
API references, versioned product docs and an MCP server for LLM tools are GitBook's home turf.
Maturity
GitBook has a large user base and ecosystem. Multibase is a newer product.
Le verdict
Choose GitBook if your docs live in Git and your readers are developers. Choose Multibase if you run customer help centers for more than one brand: three branded portals with custom domains cost $49/mo on Multibase versus about $231/mo on GitBook Essential with three editors.
