What platforms does GitBook support?
We have confirmed browser-based access to GitBook. That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.

Can GitBook be self-hosted?
We have only confirmed a cloud / SaaS deployment for GitBook, so it appears to be vendor-hosted. If a self-hosted option exists we have not found it documented publicly.

What does GitBook integrate with?
We have confirmed 13 integrations for GitBook, including GitHub, GitLab, Ahrefs, Okta, SAML, Intercom, kapa.ai and Slack, plus 5 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://www.gitbook.com/blog/pricing-update-september-2022
What security certifications does GitBook have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR for GitBook. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as GitBook not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.
Where is GitBook available?
GitBook is available worldwide. Its primary market is the United States.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for GitBook, not the verdict.
