Dubble vs Folge

Dubble

• Documenting browser-based processes as screenshot guides at no cost

• IT support and onboarding staff writing repeatable how-to steps

Folge

• People who want process documentation kept on their own computer
• Buyers who prefer a one-time license to a monthly subscription
• IT and support staff documenting desktop applications as well as websites
• Training teams that need SCORM or PowerPoint output for an LMS

Dubble

• Screen and audio recording, collaborators, API access and watermark-free output all need Pro.
• Capture runs through the Chrome extension; the Mac app is a beta limited to Pro, and other platforms are by early-access application.
• The plan table marks integrations, organization admin and SAML SSO as coming soon.
• The yearly toggle is labelled -20%, but the listed prices, $18 against $24 a month, differ by 25%.

Folge

• The free version stops at 5 guides, exports only to PDF with 2 templates, and its output is watermarked.
• The Personal license is for personal use on one platform and one machine; commercial use needs Business at $155 per seat.
• It runs only on Windows and macOS: the vendor lists no web, Linux or mobile version of the editor.
• Hosting more than 20 guides online needs Folge Cloud Pro, a $7 monthly subscription on top of a license. Prices exclude VAT.

Dubble

Record while working

Pressing record in the Chrome extension captures each click and keystroke, and the guide with its screenshots is ready when the recording stops.

Screenshot editing and redaction

Descriptions are edited as rich text, and screenshots can be annotated, redacted, zoomed or replaced. Sensitive content can be blurred before recording starts.

Screen and audio recording

Pro records the screen with audio alongside the steps, and lets an editor pull new screenshots or create new steps from the existing video.

Magic Copy and sharing

A guide is shared by direct link, sent to private viewers or downloaded as PDF. Magic Copy pastes it into Notion, Confluence, Google Docs or any editor that takes rich content or Markdown.

Team workspaces

Pro includes 3 creators, lets collaborators edit and record guides together and adds workspace user administration. Enterprise adds multiple workspaces.

Dubble for Mac (beta)

A Mac app in beta records across native apps such as Finder, Excel or Numbers and web apps in Safari or Chrome. It is available to teams on Pro.

Folge

Capture on every click

Folge takes a screenshot on each mouse click, hotkey or key combination and marks where the click landed. Capture can cover one window, a region or the whole screen.

Step editor and annotations

Steps get a title and a description, can be reordered, hidden or nested as sub-steps, and are marked up with arrows, shapes, step numbers, a magnifier and blur.

Many export formats

One guide exports to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, Markdown, JSON, an image bundle and a SCORM 1.2 package, with custom fonts, colors, logos and CSS.

Local storage and Open Guide

Captures, edits and exports happen on the computer and nothing is uploaded. Open Guide lets a team edit the same guide file from a shared folder, network drive, Dropbox or OneDrive.

AI Helper with your own key

The AI Helper reads a screenshot and writes a first draft of the step description. It works with an API key the user supplies and is included in the free version.

Folge Cloud publishing

Guides can be published online as a help center with shareable links, password protection and an embeddable widget. Hosting is free for 20 guides and $7 a month for Cloud Pro.
