Productivity & writing · alternatives
ScreenApp's weak points are its free tier, trial and integrations. Free allows only 2 transcriptions to try and 45-minute recordings, the Pro trial needs a credit card, and there are no native Slack, Notion or Zapier apps. SSO and SAML are not available.
We list two alternatives, and both offer a free plan. Otter.ai is a meeting assistant for Zoom, Teams and Google Meet, with Pro at $16.99 per user per month or $8.49 per month billed annually. Descript is a text-based video and podcast editor, with Hobbyist at $16 per editor per month billed annually ($24 billed monthly).
