Common Questions

Document360 vs Tango: FAQ

Pricing & Cost Questions

Q: Does Document360 still have a free plan in 2026?

A: No. Document360 discontinued its free tier in November 2024. New users cannot access a free plan — only a 14-day free trial is available. Existing users who were on the free tier before November 2024 were grandfathered in. For teams that need a free entry point to evaluate the product, this is a significant barrier.

Q: How much does Document360 actually cost per month?

A: Document360 does not publish its pricing. All tiers — Professional, Business, and Enterprise — require contacting the sales team for a quote. There is no way to self-serve purchase or get a price estimate without entering a sales process. The only cost-related transparency is the startup program (6 months free + 50% off for qualifying companies), but users have reported unexpected costs even within that program.

Q: Does Tango's per-user pricing get expensive for larger teams?

A: Yes, significantly. At $23–$24 per user per month on Pro, a team of 25 pays approximately $575–$600/month — and still lacks SSO, in-app guided walkthroughs, PII blurring, and long-term version history, all of which require a custom Enterprise contract. For teams larger than 15–20 people, the per-user model creates meaningful and growing cost pressure that is hard to forecast.

Q: What features are locked behind Tango's Enterprise plan?

A: Tango's Enterprise plan gates several critical features including SSO (SAML + SCIM), in-app guided walkthroughs (Nuggets), automatic PII blurring, and 365-day version history. The Pro plan only retains 14 days of version history, which is very limited for documentation governance. There is no published price for Enterprise — you must contact sales, which means you lose Tango's pricing transparency advantage at the tier where these features become necessary.

Choosing the Right Tool

Q: Is there a better alternative to both Document360 and Tango?

A: Yes — Docsie addresses the core limitations of both. Document360 hides its pricing and requires a sales call to buy; Tango's per-user fees scale poorly and the product is deprioritizing documentation features. Docsie publishes transparent workspace pricing ($199/month Premium, $750/month Organization), supports multi-tenant portals for delivering documentation to multiple clients, converts any video type into structured docs with 100+ language support, and includes a built-in LMS and autonomous agents — all without per-seat inflation. You can start with free AI credits at docsie.io with no credit card required.

Q: Which tool is better for teams needing multilingual documentation?

A: Document360 is significantly stronger here — its Eddy AI suite covers 50+ language auto-translation including technical terminology handling. Tango offers no multi-language support whatsoever on any plan. However, if multilingual documentation at scale is a core requirement, Docsie supports 100+ languages with its Ghost Translator AI and includes version inheritance across language variants, making it the most capable option of the three for global documentation needs.

Deep Dive

How Document360 and Tango Compare in Detail

Value for Money

Tango's free plan offers a genuine starting point, but at $23–$24 per user per month on Pro, a team of 20 pays $460–$480/month for screenshot-based guides with no knowledge base, no custom domain, and no API. Document360 offers broader capabilities — a true knowledge base with AI, helpdesk integrations, and multilingual support — but you cannot know the cost without calling sales. For buyers who need to justify spend internally or compare vendors on price, Document360's opacity is a real barrier. Neither tool makes the value equation simple to evaluate before purchase.

Scalability Costs

Tango's per-user model compounds quickly. At $23–$24/user/month, a 50-person team hits $1,150–$1,200/month just for Pro features — still without SSO, in-app guidance, or long-term version history, all of which require a custom Enterprise contract. Document360 avoids per-seat escalation in its pricing structure, but the lack of any published tiers means you have no way to forecast costs as your team grows without repeated sales conversations. Both models create uncertainty at scale — one through compounding seat costs, the other through complete pricing opacity.

Hidden Costs & Limitations

Document360's startup program is marketed as "6 months free," but users have reported unexpected costs that arise during or after the program period. The lack of published pricing means add-ons, overages, and tier thresholds are invisible until you are deep in a sales cycle. Tango hides costs differently — the free tier is capped at 15 workflows and 10 users, desktop capture requires Pro, and the most useful enterprise features (SSO, PII blurring, Nuggets, 365-day history) are all gated behind undisclosed Enterprise pricing. Both tools use gating to push buyers into higher tiers without clear visibility into what those tiers cost.
