Pick Mintlify when
- Dev-tool companies with public API docs
- Docs-as-code teams living in GitHub
- AI startups wanting LLM-ready docs
- Teams letting PMs and support edit docs
When Mintlify is not a fit

- Security-strict enterprises . 2024 GitHub-token breach, 2025 CVEs
- Cost-sensitive teams . AI credit metering makes bills unpredictable
