| Pricing | 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 | USD $10 per member/month (yearly billing); monthly per-seat rate not captured from the vendor page · free tier: Free $0 per member/month: unlimited pages and blocks for a solo user but limited blocks for 2+ members, 5 MB file uploads, 7-day page history, 10 external guests, 1 chart, 1 notion.site domain, limited Notion AI trial |
| Pricing model | Custom (scoped platform engagement; no published per-seat ladder) | Subscription (per member/month) with credit-based AI add-ons |
| Best for | 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. | Startups and SMB teams of roughly 5–100 people who want the company wiki, docs and project tracking in one tool and will land on the $20/seat Business tier where SSO, private teamspaces, page verification and Enterprise Search unlock; also strong for students and educators (free Plus) and teams needing unlimited free external guests. |
| Avoid if | 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. | You need zero LLM data retention, audit logs or SCIM without an Enterprise negotiation, expect a workable multi-user knowledge base on Free or $10/seat, require firm predictable annual cost despite consumption-based agent credits, have volatile headcount, need GA-status enterprise search today, or must pay by invoice/ACH at self-serve tiers. |

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.
