Why Compare Kowiki and Guru? Both Kowiki and Guru help teams access knowledge
without leaving their chat tools. But they approach the problem differently. Guru is built around a card-based knowledge system. Teams create "cards" of information that can be verified, tagged, and searched. It's great for teams that want to build a structured knowledge base from scratch. Kowiki is built around your existing documents. Instead of creating new content, it syncs from various content sources like Google Drive and Dropbox, making everything searchable in Slack, Teams, and the web — with support for both internal and public wikis. It's for teams that already have documentation and want it accessible. ## The Core Difference The biggest difference is where your knowledge lives: - Guru: Knowledge lives in Guru. You create cards, verify them, and maintain them within Guru's system. - Kowiki: Knowledge lives in your existing tools. Kowiki makes it searchable without moving or duplicating. Neither approach is "better"
- they serve different workflows. ## Pricing Comparison | Plan | Kowiki | Guru | |------|--------|------| | Free | ✅ Yes (up to 3 users) | ❌ No | | Starter | {{ PRO_PRICE_MONTHLY }} (up to 10 users) | $15/user/mo | | Pro | {{ PRO_PLUS_PRICE_MONTHLY }} (up to 25 users) | Custom pricing | | Enterprise | {{ BUSINESS_PRICE_MONTHLY }} (unlimited users) | Custom pricing | For a team of 10, Kowiki costs {{ PRO_PRICE_MONTHLY }} while Guru would cost $150/mo.

Both offer trials - we recommend trying both to see which fits your team's workflow.
