Best for step-by-step tutorials captured from software
Iorad records a workflow as an interactive step-by-step tutorial, with a free plan that has unlimited public tutorials. Private tutorials start at $200 a month per creator, which is steep for one person, and the free plan's tutorials are public.
Who Iorad is for
- Fits if you write support or training guides for software and want click-through tutorials
- Works for teams happy to publish tutorials publicly on the free plan
Who Iorad is not for
- Pricey if you work alone, as paid plans are priced per creator from $200 a month
- Skip it if your tutorials must be private, since that needs a paid plan
- Watch out: Team is $500 a month for 1 seat plus $50 for each extra, and Enterprise starts at 20 creators
- Watch out: Live Guidance, AI agents and the MCP connector are beta features
Why Iorad gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyIndividual is $200 a month for 1 creator, which is more than ten times the category's $18 middle and close to its dearest tenth at $249. Team is $500 for 1 seat.
- BFree plan and trialUnlimited capture, unlimited public tutorials and unlimited learners, with no time limit. One person could live on it if public tutorials are fine.
- CFeaturesCapture, learning modes, audio and video, exports, libraries and integrations. Gaps in the listing: private tutorials, branding and analytics need a paid plan, and Live Guidance and AI agents are beta.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You install the extension or desktop app and capture each workflow, then edit the steps yourself.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, a browser extension, Mac and Windows, with Zendesk, Slack, ServiceNow, Freshdesk, Confluence and HubSpot connections. No phone apps.

Keep Iorad, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Iorad you would be making a voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make. 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: 45 of the 69 other docs and wiki tools grade higher. It costs $2,400 a year.
What you could make
- Help center: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Zendesk, Slack and ServiceNow among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Iorad’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
