What it is

ScreenPal, formerly Screencast-O-Matic, is a screen recorder, video editor and hosting platform whose free plan is usable but capped at fifteen minutes a recording. The paid ladder splits along a clear line: Deluxe buys the full recorder and editor, while everything labelled AI — auto captions, transcription, text-to-speech dubbing, translation, background removal — sits on Max and Team Business. Team Business adds collaboration, team management and SAML SSO but requires at least three users, and the per-user price is lower than the individual Max plan.

Screen recorder and editor

Hosting, quizzing and analytics included rather than bolted on

Where it falls short

Pick it or skip it

Pick ScreenPal if

Short clips and quick demos: the free plan records and edits with a 15-minute cap and no watermark cost
Individuals needing unlimited recording length and the full editor — Deluxe at $4 a month paid annually
Anyone who wants captions, transcripts, dubbing or translation, which are Max at $10 a month paid annually
Teams of three or more: Team Business is $8 per user per month, less than the individual Max plan, and adds SAML SSO

Skip it if

You record long sessions on the free plan, which stops at 15 minutes
You bought Deluxe expecting AI — auto-captions, dubbing and translation are Max and Team Business only
You are a team of two and want SSO or collaboration, since Team Business has a 3+ user minimum
You are relying on the advertised sale price; the banner's end date had already passed when this record was checked

Our verdict

Cheap for what it does, and the free plan is a real trial rather than a demo. If AI captions or dubbing are why you are here, budget for Max, not Deluxe.

Limit: Vendor pricing page was reviewed by an editor on this date; this record is not a ToolCompare benchmark. Prices and limits change. The sale banner on the page reads 'now through September 2', a date already past on the review date, so the discounted $3 and $7.50 figures may not be live; the standard $4 and $10 prices are recorded as the reliable ones.
