Redoc
Love Redoc's three-panel docs but hitting the wall on Try-It? Here's what the free tier adds - including gRPC that even paid Redocly doesn't render.
If you use free Redoc and want an interactive Try-It console (or specs beyond OpenAPI) without jumping to paid Redocly, Apiboost Spec Renderer's free tier covers it - and adds gRPC no Redocly tier has.

What they do well
Redoc is the well-known, battle-tested three-panel renderer used by 100k+ developers - clean, reliable, and the original open-core renderer-to-platform model. Redocly's paid Realm is a capable multi-spec platform.
Where Apiboost Spec Renderer wins
Try-It in the free tier - free Redoc has none | gRPC - neither free Redoc nor paid Realm renders it, Pro does | Actively developed core, where Redoc is feature-frozen
