Why they’re different
Mintlify is for the developers who integrate with your product — your customers, basically. API references, SDK guides, code samples. Specsight is for your own team — what your product does for users, captured automatically from your code. Mintlify documents the API you expose. Specsight documents the product you build
How they fit together
Many companies need both. Mintlify handles developer-facing API docs at docs.yourcompany.com. Specsight handles the internal product spec your team uses to understand what shipped
Frequently asked questions
Not directly. Mintlify is for technical documentation aimed at developers — API references, SDK guides, integration tutorials. Specsight is for product specifications aimed at non-engineers — PMs, support, stakeholders. They cover different jobs and many companies need both
No. Specsight maintains your internal product spec, plus shareable release reports for clients. For a polished public docs site at docs.yourcompany.com with API references, Mintlify is the right tool
Every release triggers Specsight to re-read what changed. Nobody writes anything, nobody remembers to update. The picture stays accurate because it's generated from the product itself
