Guru vs Slite

Guru

• Companies that want one verified source of answers for staff and AI tools
• Support, sales and IT teams that need cited answers inside Slack or Teams
• Organizations that need audit trails and permission-aware AI answers

Slite

• Teams that want an internal knowledge base with owned, verified docs
• Companies that want cited AI answers drawn from their own documentation
• Remote teams documenting handbooks, processes and runbooks

Guru

• Guru publishes no prices: its pricing page describes custom packages scoped with the sales team, and the site offers no self-serve signup.
• Every invited user takes a paid seat, including people who only read content.
• There is no native mobile app; phones use a mobile web app or Slack, and Guru says its desktop experience has the most complete functionality.
• Canceling requires written notice at least 15 days before the renewal date, and Guru does not issue refunds.

Slite

• There is no free plan: after the 14-day trial, a paid subscription is needed to keep using the workspace.
• The pricing page shows yearly-billed prices only; a monthly plan exists, but its price is not published there.
• The Slite Agent, search across connected tools, OpenID SSO and custom domains for public docs need Pro at $20 per user / month.
• Basic limits each member to 30 AI questions and 30 AI edits a month, 5 GB of storage and 200 MB file uploads.

Guru

Verified knowledge base

Knowledge is organized into collections and kept current through verification. Usage signals, content age and policy rules handle most checks, and the rest are routed to assigned experts.

Knowledge Agents

Chat-style agents answer questions with citations, run multi-step research across sources and can act in connected systems, such as creating a ticket, as the signed-in user.

Search across connected sources

More than 100 connectors bring enterprise apps, databases and file systems into one search index, and each source keeps its original access permissions.

AI-drafted documentation

Agents turn conversations, meetings and tickets into draft documents and route them to subject-matter experts for review before anything is published.

Answers inside other tools

Guru answers questions in Slack and Microsoft Teams, in a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Opera, and through an MCP server that AI tools can query.

Governance controls

Role-based access, SAML SSO and SCIM, audit logs with lineage, and DLP masking that redacts personal and sensitive data when content is ingested.

Slite

Collaborative editor

A real-time editor with comments, mentions, custom templates, recurring scheduled docs and doc history. Docs can be exported as PDF, Markdown or HTML.

Doc verification and ownership

Each doc can have an owner and a verification status, and the Knowledge Management Panel lets admins review and act on many docs at once.

Ask: AI search and answers

Answers questions with cited sources. Basic searches Slite docs with 30 questions per member a month; Pro and Enterprise search connected tools with 100 per member.

Slite Agent

On Pro and Enterprise, an agent watches connected tools, drafts updates to out-of-date docs and routes them to a person for approval. It draws on pooled credits, 50 per seat a month.

MCP and public API

Every plan includes a public API and an MCP server, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can search, read and edit docs under the user's permissions.

Public docs

Docs can be shared publicly on every plan, with AI answers for readers. Search-engine indexing, custom branding and a custom domain for public docs start on Pro.
