| Pricing | USD $170/month (billed $2,040 annually) — Premium · free tier: Free plan (not a trial): knowledge base on a custom domain, search, versioning, unlimited viewers, 25,000 AI credits, no credit card, no expiry | Not published — Capterra lists 'Contact vendor' · free tier: Free trial listed by Capterra; a vendor blog post indicates a free 'Guru Starter' tier exists but its current limits are unverified |
| Pricing model | Subscription with credit-based AI usage plus one-time credit packs | Custom (scoped platform engagement; no published per-seat ladder) |
| Best for | Budget-conscious documentation teams, multilingual product doc teams, and agencies or ERP/SaaS implementation partners with recorded training or legacy PDFs to convert — especially those who can exploit the free tier, one-time credit packs, or non-profit/academic pricing. | A 200+ seat mid-market or enterprise organisation in a regulated or accuracy-critical sector that already runs Slack/Teams plus Salesforce, Zendesk or SharePoint, wants permission-aware AI answers with citations and audit lineage, and has budget for a scoped engagement including Guru's solution-engineering layer. |
| Avoid if | Your documentation workflow lives inside Jira, GitHub or Slack; you need formal approval, sign-off or document-locking for regulated/QMS use; you need a mobile app, SSO on a modest budget, or current high-volume peer evidence before signing. | You are a startup, solo operator or small team that needs a published price and card signup; you want rich authoring and document formatting; you need a public SEO-indexed help centre; or your procurement process requires a transparent self-serve price ladder for comparison. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
