Our take
Pick Docusaurus if you're on a docs team who will stay on the MIT generator at $0 while they open a first docs page, then add their own host (GitHub Pages / Netlify / any static host) — not a paid docs SaaS unless they want hosted auth / seats. Pick Zudoku if you're on a team who will run create zudoku and host the build without a docs SaaS invoice. Skip Zudoku if you're on a team who want a hosted seat with SSO on
local docs-site generator
