Who each one suits

Screenity

  • People who want a free recorder with no account and no time limit
  • Privacy-minded teams that want their videos hosted in Europe
  • Product walkthroughs built from several short scenes

Tella

  • Product demos and tutorials that need more polish than a raw screen capture
  • People who want to record in the browser without installing an app
  • Teams that want hosted video links with viewer analytics

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.
