Both cover screen recording. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
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.
Screen recordings that look designed, not captured
Tella records a screen and a camera and then does the thing that usually takes an editor: backgrounds, rounded corners, zooms that follow the cursor and clean cuts between takes. A product demo comes out looking like it was made on purpose rather than grabbed in one sitting. The output is a hosted video with its own link. Somebody who needs frame-level control will find the constraints exactly as constraining as they sound.
Our note
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Buy Tella for the thing it refuses to let you do badly, which is ship an ugly demo. If your videos are already going through an editor, this replaces nothing and adds a subscription.
