Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

GitBook

  • Hosted, so you do not own the rendering pipeline and are subject to platform changes
  • Git sync is powerful but conflicts between browser and repository edits are confusing to resolve
  • Pricing scales per user, which gets expensive where many people contribute occasionally
  • Less customisable than a static site generator you control end to end

InVideo

  • Unused credits do not roll over to the following month
  • Subscriptions based on monthly credits which expire
