## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: D.** Individual 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.
- **Free plan and trial: B.** Unlimited capture, unlimited public tutorials and unlimited learners, with no time limit. One person could live on it if public tutorials are fine.
- **Features: C.** Capture, 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You install the extension or desktop app and capture each workflow, then edit the steps yourself.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, a browser extension, Mac and Windows, with Zendesk, Slack, ServiceNow, Freshdesk, Confluence and HubSpot connections. No phone apps.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Help center: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A voice model, which you can rent by the minute but not make.
- You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- You could not: A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Zendesk, Slack and ServiceNow among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: Hooks into the device itself: widgets.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
