Which one is for you
Pick Guidde if
- Fits if you make software walkthroughs for support or training
- Works for a few creators and many viewers, since viewers don't need a paid seat
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, because it stops at 25 videos, keeps the watermark and can't export
- Pricey if you need to record desktop apps, as that starts on Business at $39 a creator
- Not for you if you need SSO, translation or content review, which are Enterprise only
- Tight if you have more than 5 creators, as Business is listed for up to 5, and premium voices are an add-on
- Pricey if you pay monthly: Pro is $29 against $19 billed annually, and Business $59 against $39
Pick Iorad if
- Fits if you write support or training guides for software and want click-through tutorials
- Works for teams happy to publish tutorials publicly on the free plan
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you work alone, as paid plans are priced per creator from $200 a month
- Skip it if your tutorials must be private, since that needs a paid plan
- Watch out: Team is $500 a month for 1 seat plus $50 for each extra, and Enterprise starts at 20 creators
- Watch out: Live Guidance, AI agents and the MCP connector are beta features
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAGuiddeFair | 2.2GPAIoradFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $19 a creator a month billed annually, which sits in the middle of this category, where paid plans start anywhere from about $6 to $75. Viewers cost nothing. Pay monthly and Pro is $29, and desktop capture and unlimited text-to-voice wait on Business at $39. | DIndividual is $200 a month for 1 creator, which is more than ten times the category's $18 middle and close to its dearest tenth at $249. Team is $500 for 1 seat. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree gives you 25 how-to videos from web apps, and that's a cap you'll hit: the Guidde watermark stays and you can't export to MP4, GIF, PPT or PDF. The 7-day Business trial at least asks for no card. | BUnlimited capture, unlimited public tutorials and unlimited learners, with no time limit. One person could live on it if public tutorials are fine. |
| Features | CIt does the video-guide job: browser capture, AI narration in 50-odd languages, a step editor, export to MP4, GIF, PPT and PDF, and Ask, which answers questions from your guides. That's a smaller job than a docs site, and the listing gates desktop capture on Business, SSO and translation on Enterprise. | CCapture, learning modes, audio and video, exports, libraries and integrations. Gaps in the listing: private tutorials, branding and analytics need a paid plan, and Live Guidance and AI agents are beta. |
| Ease of use | BNo app rating on record, but there's nothing to set up: install the Chrome or Edge extension, hit record, and Magic Mic tidies up what you said during capture and uses it as the voiceover. | CNo store rating on record. You install the extension or desktop app and capture each workflow, then edit the steps yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Chrome and Edge extensions, and Mac and Windows apps on Business and Enterprise, with integrations for Slack, Zendesk, Confluence, Notion and SharePoint. No iOS or Android apps are listed, so phones mean the mobile browser. | BWeb, a browser extension, Mac and Windows, with Zendesk, Slack, ServiceNow, Freshdesk, Confluence and HubSpot connections. No phone apps. |
| Best for | narrated how-to videos without recording a voice | step-by-step tutorials captured from software |

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
