JamDocs is a team knowledge base for engineering and ops that keeps docs, runbooks, and secrets in one searchable, permissioned workspace. Below are straight answers to the questions teams ask most: what it is, how it compares to a wiki, what it costs, how GitHub sync works, and how your data is protected.
JamDocs is a team knowledge base for engineering and ops. It keeps docs, runbooks, and secrets in one searchable, permissioned workspace, and a realtime sync engine keeps every edit consistent across the whole team. It is built for teams that live in their documentation all day.
Unlike a general-purpose wiki, JamDocs is built for engineering: it pairs documents with an encrypted secrets vault, GitHub smart folders that auto-sync from your repositories, and a conflict-free realtime sync engine. Search returns the exact passage rather than a list of pages to dig through.
Yes. The Free plan is free for small teams up to 5 members and includes unlimited notes and articles, full workspace search, and realtime collaborative sync. Paid plans start at $6 per user per month (Standard), adding unlimited members, the encrypted vault, roles and permissions, and GitHub smart folders, with Pro at $10. No credit card is required to start.
Yes. GitHub smart folders connect a repository path (for example, acme/platform → /docs) and auto-sync those files into JamDocs, so your documentation always reflects the latest commit on main. It is available on the Standard and Pro plans and removes the drift between code and docs.
The Realtime Sync Engine reconciles every edit live across each open cursor without merge conflicts or overwritten paragraphs. Teammates write in the same document at the same time and see changes instantly, with a synced status indicator confirming everyone is viewing the current version.
JamDocs has four plans: Free, Standard, Pro, and Enterprise. JamDocs is free for teams up to 5 members. Standard is $6 per user per month and Pro is $10; billed annually they are $60 and $100 per user per year, two months free. Enterprise is custom pricing for organizations with compliance needs. Standard adds unlimited members, the encrypted vault, roles and permissions, GitHub smart folders, and priority support; Pro adds a higher AI-credit allowance and usage limits.
You can start on the Free plan with no credit card and no time limit for teams up to 5 members. When you are ready for unlimited members and advanced features, you can start a Standard or Pro trial directly from your workspace. Enterprise evaluations are arranged through sales.
A member is any person with a seat in your workspace who can read or edit content. The Free plan allows up to 5 members. Paid plans are billed per active member per month, $6 on Standard and $10 on Pro, so you only pay for the people who actually use the workspace.
Yes. JamDocs offers discounted and sponsored plans for registered nonprofits, open-source projects, and early-stage startups. Contact the team at hello@jamdocs.io with details about your organization and we will help find the right plan.
Secrets stored in the JamDocs vault are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and live beside the docs that use them. Access is governed by the same granular roles and permissions as the rest of the workspace, so only authorized members can reveal a value, and everything is private by default.
Yes. Every space and document in JamDocs is private by default. Access is granted explicitly through roles — admin, editor, and viewer — so nothing is visible to a teammate until you share it. This least-privilege model means new content is never accidentally exposed.
Not yet. Single sign-on (SSO) and SCIM user provisioning are planned for the Enterprise plan but are not available today. JamDocs accounts sign in with email and password, with optional two-factor authentication, and every workspace keeps an audit log of access and changes that admins can review and export.
Yes. All workspace data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS, and secrets stored in the vault are also encrypted at rest with AES-256. Access to every space follows the same private-by-default roles, and each workspace keeps an audit log of access and changes that admins can export.
