Why teams look beyond Document360
Document360 is one of the better standalone knowledge base tools. The editor is decent, versioning works, and the portal is customizable. But the pricing is steep for small teams.
The free plan is extremely limited. To get real features — custom domain, AI search, advanced analytics — you need the Professional plan at $199/month. That's a big jump for a team of 3-5 people who just want a clean help center.
And Document360 is only a knowledge base. There's no inbox for customer conversations, no AI chatbot for real-time support, and no feedback loop between customer questions and your content.
How Kairoo fills the gaps
Complete support workflow. Kairoo gives you the knowledge base, the AI chatbot, the customer inbox, and the content intelligence in one product. Document360 gives you the knowledge base and stops there.
AI that's included. Kairoo's AI features — chatbot, article generation, translations, content suggestions — work on the Pro plan at $29/mo. Document360 charges $199/mo before you see any AI capabilities.
Feedback loop. Kairoo's content radar watches what customers search for, ask the AI, and send to your inbox. It tells you which articles to write next and drafts them. This closes the gap between "customers have questions" and "your docs have answers."
