Palt vs Redocly

Palt is a hosted API documentation platform for creating, publishing, and managing interactive reference material from OpenAPI specifications. Import OpenAPI or Swagger JSON and YAML files for OpenAPI 3.0 and later, then let readers try endpoints in a browser-based console. Palt also generates code samples in cURL, JavaScript, Python, Go, and more. A visual editor offers custom colors, fonts, dark mode, HTTP-method colors, and company logos; endpoint search includes keyboard shortcuts. Published documentation can use a custom domain or be embedded in an existing site. Custom domains are free and include automatic SSL. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 3 projects, a custom domain, the Try It playground, and basic analytics. Pro costs $19 a month per project and adds branding removal, custom CSS, advanced analytics, and priority support. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes SSO, audit logs, an SLA guarantee, and dedicated support. Palt says it does not store API keys or sensitive request data.

Redocly is an API documentation and governance suite for teams creating, maintaining, and monitoring API experiences. Redoc generates reference documentation from OpenAPI definitions, with automatic code samples, mock servers, and interactive testing through Replay. Reunite supports collaborative editing, visual reviews, remote content, and deployment previews with an audit trail; it connects to GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Redocly’s native Git solution. The open-source CLI validates, lints, and bundles OpenAPI definitions, while the VS Code extension helps write and maintain them and flags definition errors. Reef provides a searchable internal API catalog with metadata, scorecards, and discovery features. Respect monitors APIs against an OpenAPI specification and can send alerts through Slack or email. Redocly lists web, API, and extension platforms, custom domains, and content analytics. It says data is encrypted in transit and at rest and reports a completed SOC 2 Type II audit. Pro costs $10.00 per seat/month, billed monthly, and includes one project and 100 pages. API docs can be launched for free, and the full suite has a 30-day trial.
