Our take
Pick GitBook if solo writers who will stay on Free $0, then buy Essential at $65/site/month billed annually plus $12/user when they need a custom domain, analytics, and AI Ask. Pick Outline if teams of 1–10 who will start Cloud at $10/month (trial) while they file a first collection, or download Community at $0 when they will run the wiki themselves and accept “limited features, no support.”.
