# CrankWheel

> Screen sharing for sales calls that opens in the viewer's browser

CrankWheel is screen sharing for salespeople and agents who sell over the phone: the prospect gets a link by text or email and sees the presenter's screen in a browser, with nothing to install. It is not a tool for controlling other people's computers; its remote control works the other way, letting a single viewer use the presenter's screen to fill in a form. It also records screencasts and sends tracked sales videos.

## Key features

- **No-download screen sharing:** Share the full screen, a window or a browser tab; viewers open a link on any device, phone included, and need no install or sign-up.
- **Remote control for the viewer:** In a one-to-one session the presenter can hand a viewer control of part or all of the screen, for example to fill in a form. Presenters need Windows or macOS.
- **Recordings and sales videos:** Record meetings or screencasts and send them as links or by email with an animated preview, then track who played them.
- **Instant Demos:** A lead capture widget for your website that looks for an available agent to call the prospect back straight away, with leads passed on to your CRM.
- **Video meetings:** Schedule web conferences with microphone and webcam: up to 10 participants on Solo, 25 on Team and 50 on Enterprise.
- **CRM connectors:** Start sessions from a contact in Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, HighLevel and other CRMs and write meeting details and recording links back.

## Good for

- Telesales and inside sales teams who show prospects a screen during a phone call
- Insurance, mortgage and home services agents selling to less technical customers
- Teams that want inbound website leads called back by a free agent at once

## Worth knowing

- It shares the presenter's own screen; it does not give you access to a customer's computer for support.
- Team plans are priced by meetings a month shared across the team, counted for any session with a viewer of 40 seconds or more.
- Removing CrankWheel branding is an add-on on Team and included only on Enterprise; single sign-on is Enterprise only.
- Handing remote control to a viewer works only for presenters on Windows or macOS, and only with one viewer at a time.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Oct 18, 2026. CrankWheel is screen sharing for people who sell over the phone: you text the prospect a link and they see your screen in their browser, with nothing to install. It isn't remote access in the usual sense, as it can't reach anyone else's computer. And Solo is $29 a month for one person, which is a lot for screen sharing.

- **Value for money: C.** Solo is $29 a month for one user, with 48% off if you pay for 12 months at once. Against its listed rivals for showing a screen, Zoom's and Loom's paid plans cost less on monthly billing, and the yearly discount roughly closes that gap. Teams share 100 meetings for $99 a month.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan you'll outgrow fast: 1 user, 15 meetings a month and 3 viewers per meeting, with recordings kept a week. Someone on sales calls all day will use up 15 meetings in a few days. Solo has a free trial with no card.
- **Features: C.** It does sales screen sharing fully: viewing with no download on any phone, recordings with tracked plays, Instant Demos callbacks and CRM connectors. But it's a smaller job than this category's. It can't reach anyone else's computer, and handing over control works for one viewer from Windows or Mac.
- **Ease of use: B.** No App Store rating on record. The prospect taps a link and sees your screen in a browser, with no install and no sign-up, which is the whole point. Your side runs in the browser with an extension.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** It runs in the browser with an extension, and viewers can join from any device, phone included. It connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, HighLevel and Zapier, but there's no desktop app, so B is its ceiling.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace CrankWheel you would be making video calls. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 9 of the 15 other remote desktop apps grade higher. It costs $348 a year.

- You could not: Video calls.
- You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zoho CRM among them, and has an API.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
