readthedocs.org free tier includes Documentation hosting… Verified October 2026. Compare with 2 alternatives in Cloud Hosting.
Subtypes in Cloud Hosting: managed_cms_hosting — hosting specialised to one CMS or documentation framework, provisioned and updated by the host. We read that on 2026-08-31 from https://readthedocs.org/, where it says: “Read the Docs is a documentation building and hosting platform aimed at helping developers creating documentation from code with versioned documentation, integrated search, pull request previews and more.” How we use this.
readthedocs.org's free tier offers Documentation hosting… We rate it stable. The one record we hold was our own error and has been withdrawn. Best for cloud hosting workloads.
Documentation hosting. Read the Docs Community is free for open-source projects: it clones public repositories and hosts public documentation, supported by ads. Read the Docs Business, for commercial and non-free projects, starts at $50 a month and adds private repositories, private documentation and team management.
We read that on 2026-10-29 from https://readthedocs.org/, and our check recorded: the page names readthedocs.org as "readthedocs org" and states "$50".
How readthedocs.org compares against every one of the 2 we list, not against a selection of them. A surface with room for every member of a tied set may rotate their order. A surface with room for only some of them names none of them, because which ones it named would be the claim, and a claim seeded on the date is not the one we serve tomorrow. How we decide this.
