Guru Alternatives (2026): 8 AI Knowledge Tools Compared, Plus Guru Pricing

TL;DR

The best Guru alternatives in 2026 are Sentra, Notion AI, Confluence with Atlassian Rovo, Slite, Glean, Microsoft Copilot (formerly Microsoft 365 Copilot), Tettra and Document360. Sentra is the managed organization memory for teams and AI agents, and it is the strongest alternative for teams that are tired of writing and verifying cards: it reads Slack, email, meetings and project tools, turns what it reads into facts with a source and a date, and keeps them current on its own. Guru remains a strong choice for governed, verified answers, but it is built on content people write, and since 2026 it no longer publishes prices. Notion AI and Confluence suit teams that already work in those wikis, Slite suits small teams that want a simple verified knowledge base, and Glean and Microsoft Copilot suit large companies that mainly need search across existing tools.

What Guru does well, and why teams look for alternatives

Guru is a knowledge platform built around Cards, short verified articles that subject experts own. Its 2026 positioning is a governed knowledge layer for AI: Knowledge Agents answer questions with citations and respect permissions, a verification engine checks content on a schedule, and answers reach people in Slack, Microsoft Teams and a Chrome extension. Guru also runs a hosted MCP server so ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude and Cursor can read the same verified layer. Reviewers rate it highly, at 4.7 out of 5 across more than 2,300 reviews on G2.

Teams look for alternatives for four recurring reasons.

• Someone still has to write the knowledge. Guru's model starts with authored Cards plus connected documents. Reviewers on G2 describe organizing and verifying large card libraries as ongoing work, and a library that nobody maintains drifts out of date.
• The card format is rigid for long or technical material. Reviewers note that long technical documents fit awkwardly into cards.
• Knowledge from conversations is missed. Most decisions happen in Slack threads, email and meetings. Guru's documentation describes connected and synced documents, not automatic capture from conversations or calls.
• Pricing is no longer published. Guru's pricing page now describes a tailored platform investment with a solution engineering team, and asks buyers to book a call.

How much does Guru cost in 2026?

Guru does not publish prices in 2026. Its pricing page describes Guru as a platform and expertise solution rather than a per-seat tool, and says the investment is tailored to an organization's scale, knowledge complexity and AI maturity. Included in every agreement, according to the page, are full platform access, a solution engineering team, knowledge architecture design and ongoing optimization reviews. No free trial, seat minimum or monthly option is listed. Per-user Guru prices quoted on older review sites predate this change and should not be treated as current.

If published pricing matters to your evaluation, Sentra, Notion, Confluence, Slite, Tettra and Microsoft Copilot all list prices publicly. Glean and Document360 are sales-only, like Guru.

We rechecked Guru's pricing page on 5 November 2026. It still lists no prices, plan names, seat minimums or trial. Its FAQ says the first conversation is "a working session, not a sales pitch," and that Guru for Good offers Guru at a reduced cost to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Next steps are a call with the team or a talk with sales.

The best Guru alternatives, compared

• Sentra. The managed organization memory. Instead of asking people to write cards, Sentra connects to Slack, email, calendars, meetings, GitHub and Linear, reads the work as it happens, and stores each fact once with who said it, when it became true and when it stopped. Employees ask in Slack or the Sentra app, and on the Enterprise plan AI agents read the same memory over MCP and the API, so a new hire and an agent get the same answer. The Team plan for 2 to 20 people is listed at $16 per user per month and is currently free as a launch special; Enterprise is custom.
• Notion AI. Notion's workspace with AI built in. The Business plan at $20 per member per month includes Notion AI, AI meeting notes, enterprise search and Notion Agent, and Notion runs a hosted MCP server. Knowledge is still written as pages. Pricing per notion.com/pricing.
• Confluence with Atlassian Rovo. Atlassian's wiki with Rovo for AI search, chat and agents, included on paid cloud plans with monthly credit allowances. Standard starts around $5.42 per user per month, and the Rovo MCP server went generally available in February 2026. Best for Jira shops.
• Slite. A knowledge base with AI answers, doc verification and an agent. Basic is $10 and Pro $20 per user per month billed annually, with MCP and API access on every paid plan, per slite.com/pricing. The closest like-for-like replacement for Guru's verified-wiki model at a published price.
• Glean. Enterprise AI search and agents across more than 275 connectors, with a managed MCP server. It indexes what already exists rather than creating knowledge. Pricing is sales-only.
• Microsoft Copilot. AI across Microsoft 365, grounded in company data in Microsoft Graph. $30 per user per month on enterprise annual plans on top of a qualifying Microsoft 365 license, per Microsoft. Best when everything already lives in SharePoint, Teams and Outlook.
• Tettra. A Slack-centric internal wiki with AI answers and page verification. $8 per user per month with a 10-user minimum and a 30-day free trial, per tettra.com/pricing. Best for small teams.
• Document360. A documentation platform with the Eddy AI writing agent, an API and an MCP server. Pricing is quote-based. Best for customer-facing product documentation rather than internal knowledge.

What replaces Guru's card verification

Verification is the Guru feature buyers most need to replace. There are two ways to replace it. The first is another owner-based workflow: Slite verifies docs and fact-checks them on Pro, and Tettra verifies pages. Each still depends on someone writing the page and someone approving it.

The second is to stop relying on written cards for knowledge that changes in conversations. Sentra stores each fact with the source it came from and the time it happened, prefers newer evidence when sources disagree and says that the older one disagrees, and keeps corrections people make as dated facts that a later sync never overwrites. See how Sentra keeps company memory current and how it turns meetings into company memory.

Guru's own answers are permission-aware, and any replacement should be too. Sentra checks each fact against the permissions of the system it came from when someone asks, and treats a failed check as no access. See how Sentra enforces permissions on every fact. AI agents read the same memory through Sentra's MCP server and API.

For the capture question on its own, see Guru alternatives that capture knowledge from Slack and meetings automatically.

Moving off Guru: exporting your cards

Guru documents four export options: a collection export sent by email as a .zip backup (archived cards are excluded), a single card as PDF, a folder as one PDF with a table of contents, and cards as CSV with content in HTML. Images come through only as URLs in CSV exports. Plan the move around that: most wikis import the .zip or CSV, and with Sentra the knowledge that matters most is rebuilt from Slack, email and meetings rather than migrated card by card.

Which Guru alternative should you choose?

• Your team will not keep writing and verifying cards, and most knowledge lives in Slack, email and meetings: Sentra.
• You want AI agents and people to share one memory that knows what changed: Sentra.
• You like Guru's verified-wiki model but want published pricing: Slite.
• Your team already works in Notion or Confluence: Notion AI or Confluence with Rovo.
• You mainly need to find documents across dozens of tools: Glean, or Microsoft Copilot if you run on Microsoft 365.
• You are a small team living in Slack on a tight budget: Tettra.

The decision rule is simple. If your problem is that knowledge exists but is hard to find, pick a search or wiki tool. If your problem is that knowledge is never written down, or goes stale the moment it is, pick a system that captures it from the work itself. For a detailed head-to-head, see Sentra vs Guru.
