Scribe
Docsie
Scribe is quick for click-by-click software guides. Teams usually look elsewhere when they need long or real-world videos turned into guides, a knowledge base customers can use, translations and version history without an Enterprise contract, or training with quizzes. Here is what Scribe costs today, where it stops, and which alternative fits. If you switch to Docsie, we move your Scribe guides over for you.
The best Scribe alternative depends on what you outgrew. For guides from long or real-world videos plus a knowledge base, translations and training in one place, pick Docsie. For click capture on a team of 1 to 4 people, or a free plan for up to 10 users, pick Tango. For video-first guides with AI voiceover, pick Guidde.
Pricing
Scribe, Tango and Guidde charge per seat. Docsie plans include a set number of seats plus monthly AI credits for turning video into docs. Prices checked 2026-11-15 on each vendor's own pricing page (Scribe: scribe.com/pricing; Tango: www.tango.ai/pricing; Guidde: www.guidde.com/pricing) and docsie.io/pricing.
What a 15-person team pays
Scribe Pro Team for 15 people is about $195 a month billed yearly (15 × $13), with translation, SSO and long version history still on Enterprise. Docsie Premium is $170 a month billed yearly for 15 seats and includes about 17 hours of video a month, unlimited portals on your own domains, version control and 100+ languages.
Recommendation: If you only capture short browser workflows, Scribe or Tango is the cheaper tool. If your guides come from recorded training, real-world procedures or long walkthroughs and have to be published, translated and kept current, compare against Docsie Premium.
