What the product covers
The full Docusaurus feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.
Other
- MDX authoring
- Docs versioning
- Internationalisation
- Algolia search
- React theming
- Plugin architecture
People bring Docusaurus in for open-source project documentation that must track several released versions, docs sites needing translation workflows rather than a single language, teams already writing react who want to extend the docs theme directly, replacing a hand-rolled docs site with something that handles search and versioning. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Docusaurus are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Docusaurus badges page.
Before you pay for Docusaurus
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at Free. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Docusaurus runs on web, self-hosted, node.js, and is published by Meta of Menlo Park, California, United States. The full record is on the Docusaurus review, and the rest of the category is under best web development tools.
