Scribe
Step-by-step guides captured as you click
Scribe records a process while somebody does it once and turns it into a written guide with screenshots, numbered and ready to hand over. That is the documentation nobody writes, produced as a side effect of the work. Redaction and branding are paid features, and the free plan is capped at the last 25 guides you edited.
Our note
The five-seat minimum on the cheaper per-seat plan is the thing to notice. One person pays $25, a team of five pays $65, and a team of two pays $50 for the personal plan twice.

Tella
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.
