Overview

ScreenPal combines screen recording, video editing, sharing, and hosting for people making tutorials, lessons, or work explanations. Its free plan is a useful starting point, but its recording and hosting limits make paid plans a better fit for regular publishing.

Screen and webcam capture, system audio, microphone recording, and editing sit in one product. That breadth suits creators who want to record and prepare a video in the same place; occasional users should weigh the Free plan’s 15-minute recording cap and 10-video allowance against their needs.

Key features

ScreenPal supports webcam overlays, microphone input, and system audio, with video quality up to 4K. The Free plan includes recording, editing, sharing, hosting, and five video quizzes. Its stated hosting allowance is inconsistent: one plan description says 10 hosted videos, while another says unlimited hosted videos. That makes Free harder to judge for anyone building a lasting library.

Deluxe removes the recording and hosting ceilings in its plan description and adds a full editor, interactive storyboards, AI speech-to-text captions, and standard stock media. Max is aimed at people who want more automation and interaction: it adds ScreenPal AI, automatic captions and transcription, text-to-speech narration, an AI video generator, premium stock assets, and unlimited quizzes and polls. AI tools also include chapters, summaries, and translation; interactive content can include buttons, ratings, comments, and reporting.

Secure cloud hosting and privacy controls support sharing with some control over access. Integrations with tools and learning management systems, plus the Solution Builder and ScreenPal API, make ScreenPal more relevant to organizations connecting video to existing workflows than to someone who only needs an occasional clip.

Pricing

• Free — free, free forever: Recording is capped at 15 minutes per video; the plan lists 10 hosted videos and five video quizzes. It includes editing, sharing, and hosting, making it a no-cost option for short, occasional recordings, though the conflicting hosting descriptions merit caution.
• Deluxe — $4 a month, paid annually: Adds unlimited recorder use, hosting and sharing, a full video editor, interactive storyboards, AI speech-to-text captions, and standard stock media. It suits an individual publishing regularly who does not need Max’s expanded AI and interactivity set.
• Max — $10 a month, paid annually: Adds ScreenPal AI, automatic captions and transcriptions, AI text-to-speech narration, an AI video generator, premium stock assets, and unlimited quizzes and polls. It is the stronger fit for creators who will use those time-saving and interactive features; otherwise Deluxe covers the stated core workflow for less.
• Team Business — $8 per user per month, paid annually: Requires at least three creators and includes SSO, including SAML. It is aimed at teams that need account-level sign-in integration, not solo users.

Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle, after which accounts automatically move to Free. That preserves access to a free tier, but users relying on paid-plan allowances should plan around the billing-cycle end.

Platforms

ScreenPal supports Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Chromebook. Its capture options also include web, a Chrome extension, and an API, giving teams several ways to fit recording into their setup. A free download can be started without an account.

Who it's for

ScreenPal is a good match for educators, tutorial makers, and teams that need to record, edit, host, and add interactive elements without splitting those jobs across separate tools. The LMS and other integrations, secure hosting controls, and Business SSO add practical value for organizations. It is less compelling for people who need only a few short, occasional captures and prefer not to pay for editing, hosting, or AI features.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Recording, editing, sharing, and hosting are covered together, so a creator can prepare and distribute a video in one product.
• Pro: Free supports editing and sharing as well as recording, with a 15-minute per-recording cap that accommodates short demonstrations.
• Pro: Max combines transcription, narration, AI video generation, and expanded interactive tools for creators who will use them.
• Con: The Free plan’s hosting allowance is described both as 10 videos and as unlimited, leaving a key limit uncertain.
• Con: Team Business has a three-creator minimum, which rules it out for solo buyers and very small teams.

Alternatives

Choose Loom if a free plan capped at 25 videos and five-minute screen recordings better suits brief, limited sharing. Zight may suit someone who wants a free five-minute recorder with 1 GB storage, one included user, and a monthly allowance of five video requests. Vmaker is an option if its free plan’s 1-minute screen recordings, 5 GB storage, and 20 minutes of monthly subtitles fit the job.

Kommodo, Jumpshare, Weet, ScreenFlow, and Screen Recording App are also alternatives to consider.

Verdict

ScreenPal is best for creators and teams that want recording, editing, hosting, and interactive video tools in one workflow. Its broad capture and editing package is the main reason to choose it; the unclear Free hosting allowance and the paid price of AI-focused features are reasons to compare alternatives before committing.
