Agreed. Had to shutter the docs I had on ReadMe.io when they upped the pricing. Moved to GitBook, then they too upped the pricing. Now I just keep my private docs locally and in a private S3 bucket. Harder for less tech-savy people to edit them, but it's basically free.

I get that these companies need to make money, but $35-40/month is a tough sell for personal projects and the like. I happily pay for GitHub at $7 or $12/month and I wish one of these many companies would offer that pricing tier for docs.

Hey Nathan! We've never raised our prices at ReadMe for existing customers. I think you might be misremembering :)

That being said, the value of having up-to-date docs that anyone can edit is invaluable. Docs are more than just reference guides!

This looks pretty different to me? http://web.archive.org/web/20160530181746/https://readme.io/...

Haha whoops, I mean we never raised prices on existing customers. But even then, those new prices are just from the past week!
