Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 104 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade
Kommodo records the screen, webcam and meetings, then transcribes the video and can turn it into step-by-step guides and SOPs. Recordings are shared by link, and a page builder can turn a video into a landing page. It has desktop and mobile apps and a Chrome extension.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Kommodo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is an app and extension you install and start recording with, though meetings need a connected calendar.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $9 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $9 per user / month, billed annually ($15 billed monthly).
- 3

- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Premium is $9 a user a month billed yearly ($15 monthly), a little above the $8.33 where the cheaper quarter of video tools starts. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free plan: 1 user and unlimited recordings, but each is available for 60 days. Older ones need Premium. |
| Features | B | Screen, 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. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating on record. It is an app and extension you install and start recording with, though meetings need a connected calendar. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, a Chrome extension, iOS and Android, with Google Calendar, Slack and Jira, plus an API and MCP. |
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 Kommodo is for

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
104/133
Other screen recording and video tools it is graded above
Kommodo's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 104 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade, and level with 15.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (A, above 128 of 133) and worst on value for money (C, above 20).
Its paid plans start at $9 a month for each person, against a middle price of $12.25 for the category: 28 of the 88 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.3 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 134 screen recording and video tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Kommodo’s own letter is outlined.

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 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.
