The Verdict
Craft is built for apple users and writers, with a focus on block-editor and nested-pages. GitBook targets developer teams and open source and leads with documentation and git-sync.
Pricing is close: Craft starts at $5/mo versus $6.7/mo for GitBook — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Bottom line: Craft has a slight overall edge — but if beautiful output matters most to you, GitBook may still be the right call.
