Screen Recording Tool Reviews

We read every screen recorder's own pricing page for two numbers it tends to separate: how long a free recording is allowed to run, and whether the finished video downloads as a file you keep or only as a link you share.

What we check here

On the free plan, can you download the recording as a video file you keep — and how long can each recording run before it stops?

Every number carries the date we read it, and anything the vendor does not state is left blank rather than estimated. The full procedure is on the Methodology.

• Which screen recorders let you download the video on a free plan?

  Loom puts the download button behind Business and Screencastify behind Pro. The other two never say — and one of them caps free recordings at five minutes either way.
