GitBook vs Specsight
How GitBook and Specsight differ
- FOR DOCS TEAMS
Use GitBook to publish the docs your team writes
- Public documentation sites
- API references and developer guides
- Knowledge bases for support
- Internal wikis and team docs
- Tutorials and how-to guides
- FOR PMS, SUPPORT & STAKEHOLDERS
Use Specsight to follow how your product behaves and changes
- How every feature behaves, in plain language
- What’s new in your product, after every release
- Product map and user flows
- Release notes ready to share with clients
- Answers without asking an engineer
Why they’re different
GitBook is a polished doc site you publish: guides, references, knowledge bases, internal wikis. The content is whatever your team writes and maintains. Specsight is an instrument pointed at the product: features, behaviour, what changed, release by release. GitBook delivers your team's writing to readers. Specsight delivers your product's behaviour to your team
How they fit together
Most teams need both. GitBook stays the home of the docs you publish to readers. Specsight covers what GitBook can't: following how your product behaves and changes, read from the code itself
Frequently asked questions
GitBook holds what your team writes: guides, references, knowledge bases. Specsight shows what your team ships, read from the code and updated with every release. They cover different jobs: GitBook is for readers, Specsight is for your team
No. Specsight keeps your internal product spec, plus release notes you can publish for customers. For a polished public docs site at docs.yourcompany.com, GitBook is the right tool
Nothing has to be remembered. Specsight re-reads what changed in the code on every release and updates the picture itself. There is nothing to keep up to date, because nothing was written by hand in the first place
