What is this tool?
The free plan is easy to misread in a way that changes the decision. Its 2 transcriptions and 3 uploads are one-off allowances to try the product, not monthly ones — only the 10 AI chats refresh each month — and recordings are capped at 45 minutes each. The Pro trial is the other thing to read closely: seven days free, but it requires a card and rolls into the $228 annual charge rather than a monthly one, so what you are agreeing to is a year. Past that the annual gap is wide — $19 against $30 on Pro, $34 against $69 on Max.

ScreenApp is a capture-and-search tool. Screen, audio and video are recorded in it or uploaded to it, transcribed, and then queried: you chat with the recording, or run a template over it, rather than scrubbing through the timeline. The transcript is the mechanism; the point is not having to watch anything twice.
The free plan needs reading carefully. It gives 2 transcriptions and 3 uploads — and both are one-off allowances to try the product rather than monthly ones. The 10 AI chats and templates are monthly. Recordings are capped at 45 minutes each. In practice that is a demonstration on your own material, which is a fair thing for a free tier to be, provided you do not plan around it.
What the paid tiers buy is headroom. Pro lifts recordings to 2 hours, transcriptions to 50 a month, uploads to 500 a month and AI chats to 50 a month. Max removes the transcription, upload and chat limits entirely and takes recordings to 3 hours. Enterprise starts at $199 a month.
Recording length is the constraint with no workaround. Volume caps can be worked around by being selective; a 45-minute ceiling simply cannot record a two-hour workshop. It is worth checking your typical session length against 45 minutes, 2 hours and 3 hours before looking at anything else in the table.
The Pro trial deserves a separate note. It runs seven days free, but it requires a card and it rolls into the $228 annual charge rather than into a monthly one. That is a year's commitment beginning a week from now, so the trial should be treated as a decision window rather than as a casual look.
Is this right for you?
Quick fit check against how you actually work.
Choose this if
- You record regularly and want the archive searchable rather than re-watchable
- You would rather ask a recording a question than read its transcript
- Your sessions fit inside 2 hours on Pro or 3 hours on Max
- You can commit annually, where Pro is $19 against $30 and Max is $34 against $69
- Your volume is high enough that Max's unlimited transcriptions and uploads beat counting them
Consider alternatives if
- Your recordings routinely run longer than three hours, which is the ceiling on the highest self-serve tier
- You want to evaluate at real volume for free: the free plan's transcriptions and uploads are one-off allowances, not monthly ones
- You will not enter a card for a trial, since the 7-day Pro trial requires one and rolls into an annual charge
- You only want to pay month to month, where Pro and Max cost $30 and $69 rather than $19 and $34
- You need more than 10 AI interactions a month without paying, since that is the free tier's only recurring allowance
Key features
What you can actually do with this tool.
Recording and uploading in the same place
Screen, audio and video can be captured directly or brought in as files. That matters more than it sounds: a back catalogue of existing recordings becomes searchable through the same tool that handles new ones.
A chat layer over the recording, not just a transcript
You ask the recording questions, or run templates across it, instead of reading a transcript top to bottom. This is metered — 10 a month free, 50 on Pro, unlimited on Max — so frequent interrogation is itself a capacity question.
Recording length is a real tier boundary
45 minutes, 2 hours and 3 hours across Free, Pro and Max. A 90-minute lecture or a two-hour workshop does not fit the free tier at all, so recording length, not volume, is what decides whether the free tier can be used for your material at all.
Free allowances that do not refresh
The free plan's 2 transcriptions and 3 uploads are one-off allowances for trying the product. Only the 10 AI chats are monthly. Reading those two figures as monthly is the single easiest mistake to make about this pricing.
A wide gap between monthly and annual
Pro is $19 a month on annual billing against $30 month to month; Max is $34 against $69. Committing to a year is close to a third off on Pro and roughly half on Max, which makes the annual arm the one the pricing is really built around.

Frequently asked
Common questions about this tool, answered.
Are the free transcriptions monthly?
No — they do not refresh. Only the 10 AI chats and templates renew each month; the transcriptions and uploads are spent once and gone.
How does the Pro trial work?
Seven days free, but a card is required and the trial rolls into the $228 annual charge rather than a monthly one. Treat it as the start of a year's decision.
