Scribe is a workflow documentation tool that records your screen as you perform tasks. It automatically generates step-by-step guides complete with annotated screenshots. Teams use Scribe to document standard operating procedures, onboarding flows, and internal processes. However, every piece of content requires a human to manually walk through the workflow while the extension records.

The fundamental difference is autonomy. Scribe requires someone to perform a workflow while recording — it captures what humans do. KnowUp's AI agent autonomously navigates your product, discovers workflows, and creates documentation without any human trigger. Additionally, KnowUp proactively monitors for UI changes and updates existing articles, while Scribe guides become outdated the moment your product changes unless someone re-records them.

Scribe offers a free tier with limited features and paid plans starting around $23/user/month for Pro. Enterprise pricing is custom. KnowUp pricing is tailored to your product's complexity — based on audit frequency and number of workflows. Book a demo for a custom quote based on your product architecture.

Choose Scribe if you need quick internal process documentation and your team doesn't mind manually recording each workflow. Choose KnowUp if you want your customer-facing knowledge base to stay automatically up-to-date as your product evolves, without requiring anyone to manually trigger documentation workflows.
