Why teams choose Docmost over Guru
Full Data Sovereignty
Guru is cloud-only with no self-hosting option. Docmost lets you deploy on your own infrastructure so sensitive company knowledge stays within your network.
No Vendor Lock-in
Docmost is open source. Your data is stored in a standard PostgreSQL database, so you're never locked into a proprietary platform or forced into price increases.
Self-Hosted AI
Guru's AI runs in Guru's cloud. Docmost's AI chat, search, and writing assistant work with models you choose — including LLMs you host — so knowledge never leaves your control.
