A feature-rich recorder with scheduled capture, but a high monthly entry price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ApowerREC is screen recording software for capturing desktop activity, selected regions, application windows, webcams, system audio, and microphone audio. It is suited to business demonstrations, online courses, meetings, gameplay, troubleshooting, and general screen capture. Recording modes include full-screen, custom-region, fixed-region, and application-window capture, along with webcam-only recording or combined screen-and-webcam capture. The product is available on Windows, Mac, and iOS.
Scheduled task recording and automatic stop make ApowerREC a practical choice for recurring or unattended captures. Spotlight and zoom modes can focus attention during demonstrations, while real-time annotations add text, arrows, lines, and whiteboard elements. Screenshot capture and playback controls extend its use beyond simple video recording. Basic editing covers trimming, watermark editing, intros, and outros, giving users tools for preparing straightforward recordings without positioning ApowerREC as a full video editor.
Pricing varies substantially by plan. Personal Monthly costs $39.90 per month and includes an auto-renewing license with cancellation anytime. Personal Annual costs $69.90 per year, while Personal Lifetime costs $129.90 as a one-time payment. Business Annual costs $119.90 per year, and Business Lifetime costs $259.90 as a one-time payment. ApowerREC also has a free-plan indication. Integrations with RecCloud, FTP, YouTube, Google Drive, and Dropbox support several storage and publishing workflows. Choose ApowerREC for scheduled, multi-mode capture across its supported platforms; users seeking inexpensive general recording or deeper editing should consider an alternative.
