Common Questions
Q: What is Guru's minimum monthly cost?
A: Guru requires a minimum of 10 seats on its Starter plan at $25/seat/month, creating a hard floor of $250/month regardless of how many people actually use the platform. Small teams of 3-5 people still pay for 10 seats. Guru's Builder and Enterprise tiers do not have publicly disclosed pricing and require a sales conversation, making total cost difficult to predict before committing.
Q: Does Dubble offer a genuinely free plan, or is it just a trial?
A: Dubble's free plan is genuinely free — not a time-limited trial. It allows up to 25 guides with basic sharing via the browser extension, and no credit card is required. The 25-guide cap is a lifetime limit, not a monthly reset, so teams with ongoing documentation needs will eventually need to upgrade to Pro ($18/user/month) or Team ($12/user/month with a 5-user minimum).
Q: Is Guru's AI chatbot (Knowledge Agents) available on the Starter plan?
A: No. Guru's Knowledge Agents — the AI-powered Chat, Research, and MCP Server modes that make Guru most compelling — are only available on the Enterprise tier at custom pricing. Starter plan users get basic AI suggestions and Slack integration, but the conversational AI capability that distinguishes Guru from a standard knowledge base requires an Enterprise contract. This is a significant consideration when evaluating the Starter plan's value.
Q: Can Dubble or Guru convert existing training videos into documentation?
A: Neither Dubble nor Guru can process existing video files into structured documentation. Dubble captures live browser actions through a Chrome extension and converts them into screenshot guides. Guru is a knowledge base platform for organizing written content. If your team has a library of training videos — Loom recordings, screen captures, or real-world footage — neither tool can convert that content into searchable documentation automatically.
Q: Which tool is better for serving documentation to external clients?
A: Neither Dubble nor Guru is designed for external client documentation delivery. Dubble creates internal-facing guides shared via simple links. Guru is explicitly built for internal team knowledge management and does not support multi-tenant portals, custom domains per client, or client-specific branded knowledge bases. Teams that need to deliver documentation to multiple external clients from one system will find both tools insufficient for that use case.
Q: Is there a better alternative to both Dubble and Guru?
A: Yes — Docsie addresses the core gaps both tools share. Docsie converts any video (training recordings, screen captures, real-world footage) into structured documentation using multimodal AI, delivers it through multi-tenant branded portals for multiple clients simultaneously, includes a built-in LMS with certifications, and supports 100+ languages with auto-translation. Docsie's Premium plan starts at $199/month for 15 users — less per user than Guru's 10-seat minimum — with a free plan that includes real AI credits to get started immediately at docsie.io.
Deep Dive
Dubble delivers exceptional value at the low end — a genuinely usable free tier and a $12-18/user/month paid plan that covers core process documentation needs for browser-based workflows. There are no hidden minimums or complex tiers. Guru's value proposition is strong for enterprise knowledge management, but its $250/month minimum floor means small teams pay a steep premium before seeing any AI features. Knowledge Agents — Guru's most compelling AI capability — are locked behind custom Enterprise pricing, meaning most Starter users get a knowledge base without the AI that makes Guru compelling.
Dubble's per-user model scales predictably but hits a ceiling quickly. As teams grow beyond 20-30 users, the $18/user/month Pro cost accumulates fast, and the platform's feature ceiling means teams outgrow it without an upgrade path. Guru's costs escalate sharply at scale — the 10-seat minimum is just the floor, and unlocking advanced AI features (Knowledge Agents, MCP Server) requires Enterprise contracts with custom pricing. Organizations that begin on Starter and need more AI capability face unpredictable upgrade costs with no published pricing transparency at higher tiers.
Dubble's hidden cost is capability — teams will eventually need a documentation platform, version control, analytics, or multi-language support that Dubble cannot provide at any price, forcing a migration to a second tool. Guru's hidden costs are structural — the AI credit model limits heavy AI users on lower tiers, the 10-seat minimum inflates costs for small teams, and the most powerful features (Knowledge Agents, SAML SSO, dedicated CSM) all require custom Enterprise pricing. Neither tool includes video-to-documentation conversion, multi-tenant portals, or built-in LMS — capabilities teams often discover they need only after committing.
