It comes down to fit, not a single winner: GitBook leans into AI Agent that detects and flags stale content, while GitHub Copilot is built for real-time code completion. GitHub Copilot edges the Editor Score (4.5 vs 4.7), but a 0.2-point gap rarely outweighs picking the tool whose features match your work. GitBook is the lower-cost place to start thanks to its free or freemium plan; the other is worth a trial if its feature set fits better.
GitHub Copilot has the higher AInexfinder Editor Score (our editorial rating from features, value and pricing, blended with verified user reviews where a tool has them), but "better" depends on your needs — compare features, pricing and the pros & cons above to decide.
