## Why teams choose FeatureOS over GitBook

- **More than documentation**: GitBook is focused on docs. FeatureOS includes a knowledge base plus feedback boards, roadmaps, changelog, and surveys.
- **Feedback collection built in**: Collect feature requests and run surveys alongside your docs. GitBook has no feedback or voting features.
- **Public roadmap and changelog**: Show customers what you are building and what you shipped. GitBook only handles documentation.

## Where GitBook shines

- **Git-synced documentation**: Write docs in your code editor, push to Git, and GitBook renders them beautifully. Ideal for developer-facing documentation.
- **API reference generation**: Automatically generate interactive API documentation from OpenAPI specs.
