Overview
Founded in 2017 and based in Austin, Texas, Redocly grew out of Redoc, a free, MIT-licensed OpenAPI renderer that remains one of the most widely used API documentation tools on GitHub and npm.
Beyond the free renderer, Redocly's commercial platform combines Redoc, Revel (developer portals), and Reef (API catalog and governance) into modular, seat-based products for engineering and API platform teams.
Key Features
The core Redoc renderer turns OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, and SOAP specifications into clean three-panel reference documentation, while Revel adds full developer portal capabilities including Markdown docs and custom React pages.
Reef provides API catalog management and governance scorecards, and Enterprise plans add SSO, RBAC, AI-powered search, and analytics for larger organizations managing many APIs.
Pricing
Redoc itself is free and open source under the MIT license. Redocly's commercial platform starts at 10 dollars per seat per month (Pro) and 24 dollars per seat per month (Enterprise), with a custom-priced Enterprise+ tier for large organizations.
Add-on products Revel and Reef are priced separately per seat, or bundled as Realm; a separate usage-based Respect product for API monitoring starts free for up to 1,000 requests per month and scales to 1,000 dollars per month for 500,000 requests.
