ScreenRec review
A focused desktop recorder for private sharing, with 4K capture on its top plan.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ScreenRec is a desktop screen-recording application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is aimed at individuals and teams that need to capture screen activity with webcam video, microphone input, and computer system audio, then share recordings privately. The product combines local and offline capture with cloud recording, screenshots, annotations, MP4 export, recording history, search, and shareable links. It suits tutorials, demonstrations, support explanations, and internal communication where straightforward capture matters more than a broad production workflow.
Pricing separates personal use from business use. The Free Forever plan costs $0 per month and includes 2 GB of cloud storage, unlimited recording length for registered accounts, recording up to 720p, screen, camera, and audio capture, plus screenshots and annotations. The Pro plan starts at $8.32 per user per month with annual billing and adds business use, 1080p recording, pause and resume, 60 FPS recording, 50 GB of cloud storage, and email and chat support. Premium costs $81.66 per month with annual billing, includes five user seats, centralized billing, 4K recording, 200 GB of cloud storage, and priority email and chat support. Month-to-month billing is available, while the published annual plans show the prices above.
ScreenRec’s strongest case is focused private sharing across three desktop operating systems. Local recording and offline capture provide a direct workflow, while cloud storage and instant private links help recipients view recordings without turning the product into a full editing suite. The trade-off is scope: its feature set emphasizes capture, annotations, storage, and sharing rather than deeper video editing or integrations. Unregistered users are limited to five minutes, and the free plan is restricted to personal use and 720p. Pick ScreenRec for quick desktop explainers, support clips, and private team sharing; choose an alternative if advanced editing, extensive integrations, or a broader collaboration platform is central to the workflow.
