The Verdict
Fibery is built for product teams and startups, with a focus on custom-entities and views. GitBook targets developer teams and open source and leads with documentation and git-sync.
Pricing is close: GitBook starts at $6.7/mo versus $10/mo for Fibery — 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.
