## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Visla you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second 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: 68 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher. It costs $180 a year.

- You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- You could not: A video editor.
- You could not: A voice model trained on your recordings.
- You could not: Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
