How we grade them
| 2.6GPATellaGood | 1.8GPATrupeerWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $13 per user a month on the year, a little above this category's $10 middle, for unlimited recordings, unlimited storage and 4K export. By the month it doubles to $26, and Premium at $19 holds the custom domain and branding removal. | DPro is $40 a month billed yearly ($49 monthly), where the category's dearest tenth starts at $40. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan. New workspaces get a 7-day trial of Pro with no card needed, extendable once by 7 days. After that you can view and share what you made, but recording, editing and export all need paying. | CA free plan for 10 days with 1,000 AI credits and 5-minute recordings, then nothing free. |
| Features | BScreen and camera on separate tracks so layouts change afterwards, zooms, transcript editing in 106 languages, AI titles and chapters, hosted links with analytics, 4K export, and a REST API, webhooks and MCP server on every plan. No gap in the core job. | CRecording, AI voice and docs, but recordings are capped at 5, 10 and 15 minutes and translation sits on Scale. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record, but you can record in the browser with nothing installed, and fixing a fluff means deleting the word from the transcript rather than hunting for it on a timeline. | CNo store rating on record, and you record and edit steps before it works. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, Mac and Windows apps and a Chrome extension, with Zapier, Slack, Notion, Linear and Intercom plus a public API. No phone app: phones and tablets only record quick camera videos in a browser. | CWeb and a browser extension only; no desktop or phone app. |
| Best for | screen recordings you can re-edit afterwards | turning screen recordings into training videos |

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.
