In their own words
CrankWheel
CrankWheel lets salespeople share a screen with prospects by sending a link through text message or email; viewers do not need to download software. Presenters can show a full screen, an application window, or a browser tab, and the service monitors viewer attention. Browser-based video calls use computer microphones, speakers, and webcams without participant downloads. Meetings and screencasts can be recorded, stored in the cloud, and downloaded locally. Users can also send personalized sales recordings by email with animated previews, divide them into segments, and track playbacks. Its Instant Demos widget captures website leads, can call an available agent, and routes leads to a CRM. Native CRM integrations include Zoho CRM, Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, HighLevel, Less Annoying CRM, and Insites. All customers have a REST API and Zapier integration. Plans include a free tier and Solo at $29 a month. The free plan allows one user, 15 meetings per month, three viewers per meeting, and one-week recording retention. CrankWheel is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, as well as through an extension and API.
Vivi
Vivi brings classroom instruction, campus communications, and school safety into one platform designed for schools. Teachers can wirelessly share content to classroom displays and stream instruction to student devices. Schools can send targeted text and video announcements to displays, including live video on their internal network, and centrally manage digital signage with scheduled, location-targeted content. Emergency alerts can reach connected displays and staff devices; staff acknowledgment is mandatory and an incident record is auditable. The alert system can connect by API to existing emergency management and mass-notification systems. A classroom can use a Vivi Display Box per display or the software-only Vivi Display App on supported interactive panels. The per-classroom subscription includes hardware, software, updates, support, training, and warranty. Screen-mirroring traffic stays on the local network, while cloud features such as authentication, signage sync, and emergency functions need internet access. Vivi is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and as an extension. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial; there is no free plan.
