よくある質問
Is LaunchChat better than DocsBot?
For indie makers and solo developers, yes. LaunchChat offers lifetime pricing, BYOK for unlimited messages, and knowledge gap tracking — features DocsBot doesn't have. Both handle documentation chatbots well.
Does LaunchChat support the same data sources as DocsBot?
LaunchChat supports Notion (native OAuth), website crawling, and file uploads (Word, Markdown, TXT). DocsBot supports URLs, files, and sitemaps. Both cover the main use cases.
How does Notion integration compare?
LaunchChat has native Notion OAuth with automatic 30-minute sync. DocsBot doesn't have native Notion integration — you'd need to export your Notion pages and upload them manually, then repeat whenever content changes.
Which is more cost-effective long-term?
LaunchChat. The $229 lifetime deal means zero recurring costs. DocsBot charges $19-249/mo indefinitely. Over 12 months, even DocsBot's cheapest plan costs $228 — more than LaunchChat's lifetime price.
Does DocsBot have knowledge gap tracking?
No. DocsBot doesn't track unanswered questions or suggest missing content. LaunchChat's knowledge gap dashboard shows what docs to write next, ranked by frequency, with AI-drafted suggestions.
