Worth knowing
Screenity
- Sharing by link, the editor and cloud storage all need Pro; the free extension only saves to your device or Google Drive.
- Pro recordings are limited to 1 hour each and exports to 1080p.
- Captions are available in English only at present.
- The recorder is a Chrome extension and the editor runs in the browser; no desktop or mobile app is listed.
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.
Key features
Screenity
- Free Chrome recorder
- Records a tab, a window, a custom area or the whole screen with camera, microphone and tab audio. It needs no sign-in, has no recording limit and saves locally or to Google Drive.
- Drawing, blur and cursor spotlight
- While recording you can draw with a pen, arrows, shapes and text, blur anything private on the page, and dim everything except the cursor.
- Scene-based editor
- A Pro video is built from separate scenes that can be recorded on their own and reordered. Scenes can be split, trimmed, cut in the middle and sped up.
- Auto-zoom from clicks
- Clicks made while recording with the extension become zoom keyframes in the editor. Each one can be retimed, removed or added by hand.
- Word-by-word captions
- Audio is transcribed on Screenity's own servers in Europe and each word is highlighted as it is spoken. Captions can be styled and edited, and are English only for now.
- Layouts, overlays and share links
- Animated screen and camera layouts, browser and device frames, text and arrow overlays, backdrops and music. Pro shares a public or private link and exports MP4.
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.
