How Kipwise is better than Guru

Knowledge that delivers to you automatically, no need to search

Answering a customer ticket on Intercom or replying to a client email on Gmail? The Kipwise Chrome Extension can suggest relevant knowledge in your knowledge base without needing you to search manually.

Works for common apps including Zendesk, Intercom, Gmail and more.

Slack auto-answering bot

Getting tired of all the repeated questions you get on Slack every day? Our auto-answering bot can help suggest relevant answers from your knowledge base by smartly detecting questions from your Slack conversations, reducing the burden of the knowledge experts in your team so they can focus on their real work.

Kipwise supports real time editing so your teammates can edit the same doc at the same time

In comparison, Guru’s editor is less powerful. It does not support real-time collaboration. It does not support auto-save function (so you can lose your content if you close your browser accidentally) and you can’t even create a draft to publish later.

“I can't create drafts. It makes it really hard to strategically plan around when I will make new information accessible.”

Review of Guru on G2Crowd

Kipwise offers richer formatting and embedding options to create visually appealing and easy-to-read content

On a Kipwise page, you can easily embed content from sources such as Google Drive, Figma, Trello, Airtable, Marvel and many more to create visually appealing documentation.

We support automatic table of contents, making long-form content easier to scan and you can link to specific headings when answering teammates’ questions.

“Long form content (ie a lengthy how-to article) is a little harder to read on Guru.”
“A simple index option would be good to arrange larger documents based on headings.”

Review of Guru on G2Crowd

Kipwise offers more flexibility in folder structure and permission settings

Our folder structure is more flexible and everything is organized in an easy-to-scan sidebar, making it much easier to navigate between your content.

At Kipwise, even our most basic plan allows you to set folder permissions so certain teammates will have read-only rights for certain content. For Guru, you can only set read-only rights when you are on their more expensive Builder Plan.

Single Sign-on (SSO) and Automated User Provisioning

Integrations with your Identity Provider to enable SSO and automated user provisioning with SAML 2.0 and SCIM. Identity Providers that we support include Okta, JumpCloud, OneLogin, PingIdentity, Azure Active Directory and more.

Custom branding to integrate Kipwise seamlessly into your workflow

Custom domain and custom theme for your Kipwise web portal
Custom Slack app with customizable slash commands

Using Kipwise, you can manage internal & customer knowledge bases from one place

Group selected Kipwise Pages into an easy-to-search customer help center, making it easier for your customer support team to access to the most up to date company & product information.

Kipwise is more affordable yet powerful

Guru is expensive. Guru’s Builder Plan costs $10 per user per month but Kipwise’s Professional Plan only costs $5 per user per month.

Although we are much cheaper, our tool is powerful with great integrations and smart flows to help you build up your team knowledge base collaboratively.

Make sure important content are read with Mandatory Read

Set content as Mandatory Read so the assigned teammates will receive alerts and you can see who have already read the content.

Build up knowledge base collaboratively via internal Q&A

Encouraging more team collaboration is in our blood when designing the product. When teammates cannot find something on Kipwise, our smart Q&A flow will prompt users to create a question.

The Q&A will be saved to Kipwise automatically when your teammate answered to build up the knowledge base collaboratively.
