Best for

API documentation

Bump.sh belongs in the catalog because it represents the modern documentation-platform end of the API workflow rather than the legacy 'generate a reference page and stop there' mindset. The official positioning is broader than plain docs generation. Bump.sh talks about contract-first workflows, versioned documentation portals, changelogs, governance, and now managed MCP infrastructure alongside its API doc platform. That makes it relevant not only for classic developer experience work, but also for teams organizing APIs as durable product surfaces for both people and agents.

It also deserves inclusion because the pricing is public and unusually straightforward. The checked official page shows Basic as free, Business at $700 per month, and Enterprise from $2,000 per month, with a 14-day free trial on Business. The plan comparison also exposes meaningful limits such as API-doc count, user allowances, guests, and feature gates around explorer access, SSO, rollback, and custom branding. That is precisely the kind of transparency a premium catalog should preserve.

Editorial take

Why it stands out

Bump.sh should be evaluated as a delivery surface for APIs, not just a docs template. It is strongest when change visibility and documentation quality are part of release discipline.

Contract-first API documentation platform with automated changelogs and versioned docs portals
Public plan ladder from free solo use to business and enterprise packaging
Built for developer experience, release visibility, and documentation governance rather than only static publishing
Useful when docs are part of API delivery and change management, not just a side artifact
Current product messaging also acknowledges agent-facing and MCP-oriented API workflows
Clear fit for API teams that care about versioning, changelogs, and polished documentation delivery
Pricing is far more legible than many API documentation vendors
Good bridge between engineering workflow and external API presentation

Helpful context

Choose Bump.sh when contract-driven docs, changelogs, and portal quality matter more than local API client workflows.
ReadMe is stronger when the team wants a broader developer hub with dashboard and product-marketing layers, while Bump.sh feels more contract-and-docs native.
Scalar overlaps in docs and API tooling, but Bump.sh leans harder into hosted documentation delivery and change publication.
