How we grade them
| 2.2GPABerrycastFair | 2.6GPATellaGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPlan prices load inside the site's app and couldn't be read. Graded in the middle until a number is on record. | CPro is $13 per user a month on the year, a little above this category's $10 middle, for unlimited recordings, unlimited storage and 4K export. By the month it doubles to $26, and Premium at $19 holds the custom domain and branding removal. |
| Free plan and trial | CListed as a free plan, but its limits couldn't be read, so we assume caps you'll hit. | CNo free plan. New workspaces get a 7-day trial of Pro with no card needed, extendable once by 7 days. After that you can view and share what you made, but recording, editing and export all need paying. |
| Features | CScreen recording, link sharing with passwords and expiry, an AI note taker and a HIPAA option. A smaller job than a full video platform. | BScreen and camera on separate tracks so layouts change afterwards, zooms, transcript editing in 106 languages, AI titles and chapters, hosted links with analytics, 4K export, and a REST API, webhooks and MCP server on every plan. No gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record, but it's a recorder you install and start with. | BNo store rating on record, but you can record in the browser with nothing installed, and fixing a fluff means deleting the word from the transcript rather than hunting for it on a timeline. |
| Platforms and integrations | CDesktop only: Windows and Mac. Links to Teams, Asana and Figma. | BWeb, Mac and Windows apps and a Chrome extension, with Zapier, Slack, Notion, Linear and Intercom plus a public API. No phone app: phones and tablets only record quick camera videos in a browser. |
| Best for | screen recordings on Windows and Mac | screen recordings you can re-edit afterwards |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
