Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 17 of the 86 other docs and wiki tools we grade
Iorad records clicks in a browser or desktop program and turns them into interactive tutorials with screenshots and text. Tutorials can be shared with unlimited learners, embedded in help centers and exported as video, documents or SCORM. Pricing follows the number of creators, not viewers.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Iorad, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You install the extension or desktop app and capture each workflow, then edit the steps yourself.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $200 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $200 per month for 1 creator.
- 3
There is a free plan
Unlimited tutorial capture, unlimited public tutorials and unlimited learners, with no time limit.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, macOS and Windows, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Capture
Captures steps in Chrome, Firefox or Edge with an extension, and in desktop programs with a Mac or Windows app.
- 6
Learning modes
A tutorial can be viewed as Try, Scroll, Slide, Watch or Quiz.
- 7
Audio and video
Basic text-to-speech on paid plans, premium neural voices and custom voice-overs on higher tiers, plus video per step.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 17 of 86
That is against the other docs and wiki tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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: 53 of the 86 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.
