Switching from GitBook to Docwell is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.
Step 1: Buy once on Whop
One-time $29 for the packaged Windows installer with 1-click setup and updates.
Step 2: Write your docs
Markdown with live split-pane preview, paste-in images, wikilinks and a draft workflow — desktop mode works fully offline.
Step 3: Publish on your domain
docker compose up -d on a $5 VPS, point help.yourproduct.com at it — SEO meta, sitemap and clean URLs are already done.
What to expect during the switch
Docwell covers the same core workflow as GitBook, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.
Why make the switch at all
GitBook runs $79/mo (Premium), forever. Docwell is $29, once. Docwell costs a third of one month of GitBook Premium. It pays for itself before your first article is finished.
