The Verdict
Capacities is built for knowledge workers and researchers, with a focus on object-types and daily-notes. Guru targets support teams and sales teams and leads with knowledge-cards and verification.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($9.99/mo for Capacities, $10/mo for Guru), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
