Overview
ScreenPal is the current name of Screencast-O-Matic, a long-running browser and desktop recorder popular in education; the company’s site states that Screencast-O-Matic is now ScreenPal and that it is based in Seattle, Washington[8]. ScreenPal says it has 9 million users worldwide[8].
The product combines screen and webcam recording, screenshots, a video editor and hosting. Its plan ladder runs from a free tier through Deluxe and Max to Team Business[7]. Deluxe is described as full-featured capture and editing, while Max adds interactive elements and AI time-saving tools, and Team Business is priced per user for groups of three or more[7].
ScreenPal’s main advantage is price: the paid individual tiers cost a fraction of Camtasia or Descript. It has a long track record in schools, where teachers record lessons and feedback. The trade-off is that its editor and AI features are less extensive than those of Descript or Camtasia, and enterprise controls are lighter than Loom’s or Vidyard’s.
