How we grade them
| 3.4GPAJumpshareVery good | 3.2GPAVidyardVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPlus is $12 per user a month billed annually, which is $144 a year, or $15 billed monthly. It buys unlimited uploads and recording time at up to 4K, captions, trimming and analytics. About typical for video tools here. The AI titles and summaries cost more, on Business at $16. | CStarter is $59 per seat a month billed annually, or $89 monthly. That's far above what video tools here usually start at. And CRM integrations, video hubs and custom CTAs wait for Teams, which is custom-priced. Unlimited Video Agent use is another $24 per seat a month. |
| Free plan and trial | BBasic is free, and recordings come out at 1080p with no watermark. But you get 25 uploads, 5 minutes a recording and 250 MB per upload. Captions, trimming and saving locally all need Plus. | BThe Free plan gives 5 recorded videos a month of up to 30 minutes each, 15 AI videos, stock avatars and 3 custom AI avatars. But its plan table lists video hosting and analytics as not included. Starter has a 14-day trial. |
| Features | AScreen, window or area recording with webcam, a teleprompter and on-screen drawing. Scrolling screenshots with arrows and blur, GIFs, and links with passwords and expiry dates on paid plans. It shares other files too, with online previews for 200 formats. That's the whole job and a bit more. | AScreen and camera recording at up to 4K in the desktop app, video messages with view notifications, calls to action, AI avatars trained on your own video, hosting with no bandwidth limits, team analytics, and a Video Agent that sends personalized videos when a buyer acts. The whole sales-video job. |
| Ease of use | A4.65 from about 470 App Store ratings. The link is ready when the recording stops, and the person watching just opens it in a browser. No account for them. | BNo rating is on record to go by, so a B. Reps record from a browser extension, a desktop app or a phone, and share by link or from inside Gmail, Outlook and their sales tools. It sits where they already work. |
| Platforms and integrations | BMac, Windows, a browser extension, the web and an iPhone and iPad app, with Slack and Zapier. But the apps page lists Android as coming soon, and Zapier needs the Business plan. That keeps it off an A. | AWeb, a Chrome and Edge extension, Mac and Windows apps, and iOS and Android, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Salesloft, Gong, Gmail, Outlook and Slack. API access is listed under Enterprise. The mobile apps record with the camera only. |
| Best for | screen recordings and big files shared from one app | video messages for sales teams |
