Best for recording the screen and turning it into guides
Kommodo records the screen, webcam and meetings, adds a transcript and can turn recordings into step-by-step guides, on web, desktop, phone and a Chrome extension. On the free plan each recording stays for 60 days, and downloads and uploads need Premium.
Who Kommodo is for
- Fits if you record walkthroughs and want them as written step-by-step guides
- Works for teams that share recordings by link and need Slack and Jira hooks
Who Kommodo is not for
- Tight if you stay free: recordings expire after 60 days
- Skip it if you need downloads or uploads free, as both are Premium
- Watch out: free shows only the first 10 steps of shared guides, and 3 visual SOPs
- Watch out: Premium bills and renews yearly, and the monthly option is $15 a user
- Watch out: the roster listed this as Komodo Decks, but the site now trades as Kommodo
Why Kommodo gets a 2.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

- CFree plan and trialFree plan: 1 user and unlimited recordings, but each is available for 60 days. Older ones need Premium.
- BFeaturesScreen, webcam and meeting recording, transcripts, summaries, visual SOPs, transcript editing and a page builder. Nothing in the listing is missing from the core recording job.
- BEase of useNo store rating on record. It is an app and extension you install and start recording with, though meetings need a connected calendar.
- APlatforms and integrationsWeb, Mac, Windows, a Chrome extension, iOS and Android, with Google Calendar, Slack and Jira, plus an API and MCP.

Keep Kommodo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Kommodo you would be making a bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 104 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade. It costs $108 a year.
What you could not
- A bot that joins your calls and turns the talk into notes.
- A video editor.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Speech turned into text you can trust.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Slack and Jira among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Kommodo’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.
