Best screenpipe alternatives in 2026 (free and paid)

People look away from screenpipe for practical reasons. The free plan limits searchable history and scheduled workflows, so full history needs Basic. Capture uses about 30 GB of storage a month by default and 600 MB to 4 GB of RAM, which strains older machines. Shared context across teammates is not currently included, and mobile access is in private beta, so it is not yet a team memory.

If what you really want is meeting capture, Otter.ai has a free option and a Pro plan at 16.99 USD per user per month, charged monthly. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) is a different angle: it answers questions grounded in sources you upload, has a free option, and no starting price is stated in our data. Neither watches your whole screen the way screenpipe does, so they trade breadth for lighter setup.

"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
