JG Ján G. Senior Manager, Design Operations Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/28/2026 "ReadMe makes knowledge management simple" 4.5/5 What do you like best about ReadMe? ReadMe makes centralizing and presenting knowledge easy. Out of the box, it has features to host all of your user and developer documentation in a single place. Users will find the knowledge easy to navigate with transparent navigation, and developers will appreciate the OpenAPI Specification of API presentation. We just need to focus on the content now. ReadMe has also saved us a lot of time with natively supported AI features like the conversational AI search, MCP and the bi-directional Github sync. With massive leaps in LLMs and coding becoming more accessible, this is a critical and future-proof strategy ReadMe is taking. It also means we don't need to piece together tools and build this functionality ourselves - we just get it. Similarly, we also tried a more flexible CMS solution for documentation before - it was a nightmare because of developer dependency. While ReadMe's options may not be infinitely customizable (e.g. predefined docs categories that cannot be altered), what we have suffices, and we are not dependent on anyone else for small changes. Last but not least, the ReadMe team has been a pleasure to work with. We got a lot of love from Kirby and Dan and their great Support team. We do have a lot of questions and get help very quickly if we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? ReadMe could have slightly more customization options mainly for organizing knowledge. Within a single project, I can only organize knowledge into Guides, API Reference, Changelog, Recipes and Discussions. For us, it would be useful to have multiple "Guides" types within a specific project - this way we could organize and present the docs a bit more cleanly since we have a lot of content. For the AI conversational search, a limitation is that external knowledge can virtually not be indexed. We have a separate, Support-managed Help Center that we cannot index - we can only copy paste content into a static textbox with a limited character count. At this point, the AI search is useful, but only limited to the site's knowledge. Similarly, I would appreciate a bit more visual customization options. Now, a lot customization needs to happen in the code using CSS, JS and HTML. We got incredibly far with Claude Code and with Readme's recommendations on using the right selectors in their docs, but unless you are okay tinkering with AI, you will need a developer to help you customize this yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ReadMe solving and how is that benefiting you? Easy centralization and presentation of product knowledge. We can focus all our time on the actual content and organization without worrying about the technicalities of the CMS, because they just work. AI helps make our knowledge even more accessible.

RH Rebecca H. Product Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/23/2026 "Easy to Navigate and Quick to Learn, with Handy Metadata Controls" 4.5/5 What do you like best about ReadMe? I find it really easy to navigate, even as someone who hadn’t used Markdown syntax before. I was able to figure it out quickly with the help of the drop-down menu, and now I don’t even really need it. Being able to manually add metadata to the background as well has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? I wish there were a way to add videos, or at least include a link on an image. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ReadMe solving and how is that benefiting you? Having our changelog on the README has been great for AI visibility.

Director of Operations Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 2/26/2026 "Great docs experience for devs (and non devs) as well as it's easy to keep updated" 5/5 What do you like best about ReadMe? We’re building our own investment app, and one of the clearing firms we work with already used ReadMe for their docs, so we checked it out from that referral. It’s been an excellent fit. It’s quick to publish clean, modern docs, the OpenAPI sync and interactive API reference work really well, and it’s easy for both technical and nontechnical folks to contribute. The analytics are also genuinely helpful for seeing what people are reading and where we can make things even clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? Nothing is perfect, some of the deeper customization and admin settings took us a minute to learn and could be a bit more intuitive, but the defaults are strong and support has been responsive, so it never slowed us down. Once you’re set up, day to day publishing and updates are effortless.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ReadMe solving and how is that benefiting you? It gives us one place for API docs, guides, and updates so partners & vendors can onboard faster and we spend less time answering the same questions. Overall it’s made our docs more consistent, more current, and more professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lead Product Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/21/2023 "Not just API docs, but a developers portal" 5/5 What do you like best about ReadMe? If you're searching for an exceptional API documentation platform, look no further than Readme. This tool has transformed the way we handle API documentation, offering a seamless experience for end-users and developers alike. Readme's clean interface and intuitive navigation made it perfect for our customers who are seeking smooth integration with APIs, letting them try it on the go and see opportunities. Support for custom pages and sections saved us and our customers time. We covered FAQ, and our webhooks, as well as wrote guides for some most popular use cases. Search is great and helps navigate our extensive API and saves time trying to find the endpoint you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? It's hard to pinpoint anything in particular. I'd say the main pain point would be the markdown editor. It's not a huge problem, but it's weird to see it in such a modern solution. Another downside is that there's no built-in support for documenting webhooks. As for now, we have to use regular articles and it's definitely harder to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ReadMe solving and how is that benefiting you? - API documentation in one place - Possibility to add guides, articles and info about API - We added our webhooks as articles to create documentation and examples around them.

From the moment we started using it, we were impressed by its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with various tools. One of the standout features of readme is its powerful customization options. We were able to tailor our documentation to match our brand's identity, giving it a professional and polished look that resonates with our users. Additionally, the platform's analytics and insights have provided valuable data on user engagement, enabling us to continuously improve our documentation and meet our users' needs effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? It is a bit confusing how the plans works, at the beginning it is not very clear if it is per user, plan or project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ReadMe solving and how is that benefiting you?

ReadMe allowed us within days to move our existing file-based documentation to an online, searchable and beautiful portal. The process to create new articles/guides is especially simple. The use of markdown and their building blocks meant that we could very easily copy existing collateral and just add headers/pictures as we saw fit, and it just worked out of the box. No messing around with detailed formatting or layouting and the entire site is coherent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? The available landing pages didn't really suit our needs as we had a large guide with quite a few categories, so we had to create a custom HTML one -- which become a quite technical task. The final product is good, but it's something that only a subset of our editors/users can understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ReadMe solving and how is that benefiting you? ReadMe solved our need to produce and distribute guides and sales material to both existing users and prospects. We went from a very oldschool PDF-based set of documentation to an online hub where users can much more easily digest the capabiilities of our software, experiment with our APIs and learn tips & tricks. It's also allowed us to maintain our documentation in real-time and to be much more agile when it comes to amending and updating it, which has significantly raised the quality of the content we have there.

Product Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 2/28/2023 "Easy for an admins, easy for end users" 4.5/5 What do you like best about ReadMe? ReadMe takes the somewhat daunting task of communicating API functionality and creates a straightforward way to manage that information and present it to end users so that they can act more quickly. As a product manager, I work with my customers by looking at the API Reference together and help them identify specific requests for new data points, parameters, etc. to decide how to improve it going forward. The Changelog both showcases value-added, and is a trustworthy resource for any long-time customers who need to react to changes made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? I don't think we are utilizing all of the features that ReadMe offers, so there is probably some customer education or guidance that could go a long way to help us sort out how to improve the experience for our users. I'd like to create more opportunities for education amongst the categories and API endpoints, as well as more navigation opportunities, as our API reference list has grown quite large.

The platform is intuitive and easy to use, there are small details like the owl that just make using the product more enjoyable. The API functionality is great and it's easy to submit a product request. I also appreciate the transparency and accessibility of the product roadmap right from the help page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ReadMe? Since it is in markdown, there is a bit of limited functionality. For example, if you numbered lists are sometimes difficult to create if you have an image or other break in between items. Also, would be nice to be able to incorporate files that are not links.
