GetPagemark vs GitBook
$3/site vs $8/user/month. No per-seat pricing.
GitBook is a well-known documentation platform used by many companies. It's powerful and feature-rich, but it comes with per-seat pricing that adds up fast for teams.
GetPagemark takes a different approach: you pay per site, not per team member. Your first site is free. Each additional site is $3/month. That's it.
If you have a 5-person team on GitBook, you're paying $40/month minimum. With GetPagemark, you'd pay $3/month for your second site and nothing for your first.

Verdict
If you want simple, cheap documentation hosting from a GitHub repo with no per-seat pricing, GetPagemark is the better fit. If you need a collaborative editor with real-time editing, GitBook has that — but you'll pay for it.
