KnowledgeScout review
A cited knowledge chatbot for internal teams, with customer widgets on higher plans.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
KnowledgeScout combines knowledge management with an AI chatbot for teams and customer support. It searches articles, documents and slides, then answers with citations to source material. Its in-app chatbot can be scoped by roles and article permissions, making the product a fit for organisations that want staff to find answers within existing access boundaries. Teams seeking an internal knowledge assistant can start with Startup; customer-facing use depends on a higher plan.
According to the vendor’s pricing page, Startup costs $10 per user per month and includes the chatbot and writing tools, 150 AI credits per user per month, unlimited articles, 5 GB of storage and email support. Business is $17 per user per month, with 400 AI credits per user per month, external customer and internal embeddable widgets, MCP integration and priority support. Enterprise costs $600 per month for up to 100 users, adds 60 GB of storage and dedicated support, and offers pay-per-use AI or bring-your-own API keys. A one-month trial is available and requires a credit card upfront.
Deployment options range from in-app chat to branded help centres and website widgets on Business and Enterprise. When the bot cannot answer, it can escalate to a contact form or configured support-flow URL; analytics cover questions, unanswered queries and escalations. Configurable transcript retention ranges from not storing chat content to retaining transcripts for up to seven years. KnowledgeScout also lists Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft Azure OpenAI, OpenAI-compatible APIs, MCP and a REST API. It suits teams prioritising permission-aware internal answers and those ready to pay for customer-facing widgets. Organisations that need external deployment on the entry plan, or a free plan, should look elsewhere.
