In their own words
ClipCast
ClipCast records a browser tab, window, screen or selected area, with optional camera and microphone capture, then creates a share link. Its browser editor can trim and cut clips, add zoom, blur, text, captions, backgrounds or music, and export MP4 or GIF files. Pro adds searchable transcripts and summaries with clickable timestamps. Reviewers can leave timestamped comments and reactions, reply with screen or camera recordings, discuss in threads and mark items resolved. Team users can invite clients to review a folder as guests without taking a paid seat. Webhooks are available on all plans; Pro adds automatic saving to Dropbox, Google Drive and Box. It supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux and a browser extension. The free plan is free, billed forever, and includes five-minute recordings, 200 MB storage, 25 active clips, 720p and 30-day retention. Pro costs $5 a month, billed monthly. Team costs $12 a month, billed monthly, with a two-seat minimum.
