Airtime vs Tella

Airtime

• People who present on Zoom, Teams or Meet and want camera control
• Recorded updates and demos that show the presenter with the screen
• Presenters who want to appear alongside their slides

Tella

• Product demos and tutorials that need more polish than a raw screen capture
• People who want to record in the browser without installing an app
• Teams that want hosted video links with viewer analytics

Airtime

• Without a subscription, Camera and Creator are limited to 60 minutes a day and Recorder to 5 recordings a month of up to 5 minutes.
• Recorder recordings run up to 1 hour each.
• The desktop apps are for Mac and Windows 10 or 11; the site lists no mobile app.
• Priority support, a dedicated account team and the SOC 2 report are reserved for Enterprise.

Tella

• There is no free plan: once the trial ends, existing videos can be viewed and shared, but recording, editing and export need a subscription.
• Monthly billing costs about twice the yearly rate: $26 versus $13 per user / month on Pro.
• There is no mobile app, and editing is desktop-only; phones and tablets can record quick camera videos in the browser.
• Custom domains, branding removal, advanced analytics and 60 FPS export beyond 5 minutes need Premium.

Airtime

Camera for video calls

A virtual camera that corrects presenter lighting, applies looks with real, blurred or virtual backgrounds, and shows GIFs, visuals and away screens during a call.

Recorder

Records the presenter, the screen or both from a browser or the desktop app, in high definition for up to 1 hour, with system audio and simple trimming of the start and end.

Viewer-controlled playback

A finished recording is shared as a hosted link or downloaded as an MP4, and the presenter picture can be moved and resized even after publishing.

Creator presentations

A desktop suite that places the speaker and slides in one layout, imports .ppt, .key and .pdf files, and records in chapters that can be rearranged and trimmed.

Stacks for meetings

Materials are gathered into a stack before a meeting so attendees can scan ahead, go back and zoom on their own, and the stack remains after the call.

Team administration

The Team plan adds an admin dashboard, centralized billing and single sign-on with Apple or Google.

Tella

Separate screen and camera tracks

Screen and camera are recorded as separate tracks, so you can change the layout, resize the camera or hide either source afterwards.

Editor with layouts and zooms

Trim and split clips, switch between side-by-side, picture-in-picture and full-screen layouts, and add zoom effects and backgrounds.

Transcript-based editing

Remove mistakes and filler words by deleting them from the transcript. Transcription covers 106 languages and can be shown as captions.

AI assistance

AI generates titles, chapters and automatic layouts from the transcript, and can turn a video into a summary or document.

Link sharing and analytics

Share a video by link or embed it and track viewers. Paid plans have no storage or bandwidth limits and no cap on video count.

API, webhooks and MCP server

A public REST API, webhooks and an MCP server for assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT are included on every plan.
