Guru
A company knowledge tool that stores short, verified answers and serves them inside Slack, Teams, and the browser.
A company knowledge platform whose AI search covers video, audio, and slides as well as text, priced per team rather than per user.
Bloomfire is a knowledge management platform. Teams store, tag, and find company knowledge in many formats, including video, audio, slides, and documents, not just text files. Its AI search and Q&A feature answers questions with citations back to the source, and it flags content that looks outdated and prompts an owner to review it. Admins connect it to Microsoft Teams, Slack, Salesforce, Zendesk, and SharePoint and manage access through SAML single sign-on and SCIM provisioning. Bloomfire holds SOC 2 Type II certification. Unlike many competitors, its Team, Department, and Enterprise plans are priced as a fixed annual cost rather than billed per user.
This fits a company where useful knowledge lives in more than text, like recorded training videos, sales call recordings, or slide decks, and one that wants to avoid a bill that grows with each new hire, since pricing is by team or department rather than per seat. A sensible starting point is the Team plan for one department, such as customer support or sales enablement, expanding company-wide later. Bloomfire does not publish exact dollar figures, so treat any number you find as a rough estimate and get a real quote for your team size. Because pricing is annual and fixed, confirm what happens if your team grows well past the plan's assumptions before signing a multi-year contract.
These estimates cover licensing, setup, integrations, staff time, security, administration, and support.

Estimate assumptions: Based on 20 enabled users. This is a planning allowance, not verified product pricing. Confirm the vendor’s billing unit and current price or quote before budgeting.
Benefits have not been estimated: The current research does not estimate potential savings, return on investment, or how long it would take to recover the cost. Earlier benefit estimates are excluded.
Confirm current product identity, commercial packaging, data processing terms, sign-in and access rules, retention, integrations, support model, implementation effort, and rollback conditions.
Verify identity, package, availability, ownership, pricing, and security evidence before approving a pilot
Do not approve a pilot yet. Verify the current product identity, package, availability, owner, pricing, and security evidence; then define one workflow, a baseline, and rollback criteria.
Define what success looks like for a test of Bloomfire and assign someone to lead it.
Once the requirements above are met, compare a small trial with how your team works today.
Track adoption, output quality, business results, and actual costs against the estimate.
Use the results to decide whether to stop, adjust, or expand the pilot.
Confirm encryption, how the vendor uses your data, customer data separation, how long data stays and how to delete it, activity records, sign-in and user setup, where data is handled, other companies that process data, past incidents, and what your team must manage.
Review before rollout: confirm how to export your data, revoke access, and return to your existing workflow. Assign an owner and test the rollback plan before expanding use.
