Our take
Pick Bump.sh if you're on a aPI team who will pay a flat monthly for a small docs + MCP hub. Pick Scalar if you're on a aPI team who will stay on Free $0 (3 APIs, 1 SDK ≤25 endpoints, 1 editor) during the 7-day Pro trial, then buy Pro at $150/month ($125 billed yearly) when they need Git Sync, hosted MCP, and 5 editor seats. Skip Bump.sh if you're on a team who need a $0 hosted reference (Scalar) or MIT Redoc
