Verdict

We are not publishing a free-tier verdict for either Docusaurus or GitBook. The page we cite for Docusaurus states no amount, tier or rate we can read when we last looked, on 2026-10-09. The only record that would rate GitBook is a change we could not check against an archived copy of GitBook's page, so we are not publishing a rating for it. We are not publishing a stability rating for GitBook. We are not comparing the two pricing histories.

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. A badge carrying a date states the record it rests on; a badge with no date rests on no record in force.
