Screenity vs ScreenPal Comparison 2026
Screenity is a browser-based recorder that turns a session into re-editable scenes, so a bad section gets fixed rather than re-recorded. It costs $10 a month or $120 a year, the same rate either way, and has no free tier. ScreenPal records, edits and hosts too, and gives that away permanently on a free plan before its $4 Deluxe tier even starts. The real axis is risk: Screenity asks for a card after a seven-day trial, ScreenPal lets you keep working for nothing.

Screenity
A screen recorder and editor in the browser
Screenity began as a free open source Chrome extension for recording a tab and grew into a hosted editor around it, where a recording is built out of scenes you can re-record one at a time. Click zooms, captions and animated layouts are applied after the fact rather than performed live. It is made and hosted in Europe by one person, which is stated on the page and is the reason the feature list is narrow.
Our note
The interesting thing here is the scene model, which turns a fluffed take into a two-minute fix instead of a re-record. It is one person's product, so weigh that against Loom's support if it is going into a company workflow.
ScreenPal
Screen recording and hosting at four dollars
ScreenPal records the screen, edits what it recorded and hosts the result on a page you can send to somebody, which is three products most tools split up. The editor handles the things a tutorial actually needs, captions and callouts and cutting the dead air, without turning into a timeline that has to be learned. It was Screencast-O-Matic for years and the price has stayed in the same place. Anybody wanting cinema-grade output is in the wrong shop.
Why people weigh these two
- ScreenPal instead of Screenity
- ScreenPal keeps a free tier and hosts the result too, where Screenity has no free plan and leaves hosting to wherever the finished video is sent.
- Screenity instead of ScreenPal
- Screenity records and edits in the browser at $10, with nothing to install.
Which one should you pick
Pick Screenity if you like the scene model, re-recording one section instead of the whole take, and do not mind starting on a trial that becomes a paid plan: $10 a month or $120 a year, the same rate however you pay, with no free plan to fall back on.
Pick ScreenPal if you want to try before paying anything. Its free tier is permanent, and Deluxe at $4 a month is less than half of Screenity's only plan. ScreenPal also runs on Windows, iOS and Android, while Screenity is web only.
Common questions
- Does Screenity have a free plan?
- No. There is one paid plan, $10 a month or $120 a year, after a seven-day trial. ScreenPal's free tier, by contrast, is permanent and needs no trial or card.
- Which one is cheaper?
- ScreenPal. Its Deluxe tier is $4 a month, less than half of Screenity's $10 a month, or $120 a year, the same rate either way.
- Does Screenity run on Windows?
- No. Screenity runs in a browser only. ScreenPal has apps for web, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, so it reaches more devices.
- What is the scene-based editing Screenity offers?
- Screenity records a session as separate scenes, so one bad section can be re-recorded without redoing the whole take. ScreenPal's editing works differently, around captions, callouts and cutting dead air rather than scene by scene.
