iorad

Overview

iorad is a workflow-capture tool for turning software processes into tutorials and other learning materials. It is best suited to learning and development, customer training, and IT or documentation teams that need to guide people through software.

Its range of tutorial formats and learner modes makes one captured process adaptable to practice, reference, and instruction. The main trade-offs are the $200-per-month starting price for a private creator plan and a sharing restriction on desktop-captured tutorials.

Key features

Capture and tutorial formats

iorad captures software workflows and turns them into interactive tutorials, articles, videos, PDFs, or SCORM files. Learners can use six modes: Try It, View It, Watch It, Print It, Do It, and Quiz Mode. That range is useful when a team wants to teach the same workflow through guided practice, viewing, or a printable reference rather than committing to one format.

The desktop capture tool supports Windows and Mac applications and workflows involving iOS and Android devices. The Chrome or Edge extension captures browser content. This covers several common software environments, although desktop capture has a consequential distribution limit: those tutorials cannot be shared in the extension or widget, except through the widget’s Web Library.

In-app guidance and integrations

Help by iorad places tutorials inside Google Workspace apps and Salesforce, letting users find guidance without leaving those applications. The product also includes in-app guides, contextual prompts, adoption reporting, and audience segmentation, making it relevant to teams working on software guidance as well as standalone documentation.

iorad integrates with more than 50 learning management systems, including Workramp, Lessonly, Canvas, and Cornerstone. That breadth gives training teams several routes to deliver tutorials through an LMS. Its browser extension security overview describes SOC 2 Type 2 certification, role-based access, audit logging, and encryption key management.

Pricing

iorad has a free plan and a free trial. The free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited tutorials, free public tutorials, and unlimited learners. It is a practical way to create and distribute public tutorials, but the plan’s stated tutorial access is public, so it does not serve a need for private tutorials.

Individual costs $200 a month, billed $200 / month. It includes one creator and unlimited private tutorials, making it the entry plan for a solo creator who needs private distribution. The price is a substantial step up from free for a single seat.

Team costs $500 a month, billed $500 / month. One creator is included; extra seats cost $50 / month each. It fits teams that need multiple creators, though the per-seat charge means the monthly cost rises as the team grows.

Enterprise has custom pricing, with a custom quote and a 20+ creator threshold. Its stated benefits include a private Slack channel and prioritized support, which may suit larger training operations that need a higher-touch support arrangement. A free trial is also offered.

Platforms

iorad supports Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, browser extensions, and the web. The desktop capture tool covers Windows and Mac applications, while the Chrome or Edge extension captures browser content. Mobile app support is web_mobile.

Who it's for

iorad is a strong fit for learning and development teams that turn software procedures into reusable training, customer training teams that need to explain workflows, and IT or documentation teams producing process guidance. Teams working in Google Workspace or Salesforce can also place tutorials in those applications. It is less suitable when desktop-captured tutorials must be distributed through the extension or widget outside the Web Library, or when a solo creator needs private tutorials at a lower monthly cost.

Pros and cons

Pros: A captured workflow can become an interactive tutorial, article, video, PDF, or SCORM file, giving training teams options for delivery and reference.

Pros: Six learner modes let teams offer different ways to follow or review the same tutorial.

Pros: More than 50 LMS integrations and in-app help for Google Workspace apps and Salesforce support delivery in both training and work contexts.

Cons: Desktop-captured tutorials cannot be shared in the extension or widget, except through the widget’s Web Library, limiting how those tutorials can be distributed.

Cons: Private tutorials start at $200 a month for one creator, and additional Team seats cost $50 / month each.
