Comparison
From features viewpoint, MadCap Central is
a one-stop solution which also includes
contribute and review feature provided by
MadCap Contributor.

From pricing viewpoint, MadCap Contributor is


way ahead as the licensing policy is perpetual.
We don’t have to buy a review and contribute
tool again as long as we use MadCap Flare.
However, we wouldn’t be getting a product that
provides end-to-end solutions.

We can’t compare both products provided


by MadCap, as Contributor is a part of
Central. The decision to select the right
product should be based on the team
requirements and pricing.
