- Ultimate Screencast Comparison – The Chart
This is an evolving project. If you have suggestions or recommendations, I’d love to hear them in the comments below the post.
In order to quickly compare features, price and other items of note for the many screen recording apps available, I’ve used extjs to build a sortable chart. To sort by any column, click on a header name. Other options, like grouping, are available when clicking on the right side of a column. There are several features I’d like to add to the chart, like turning grouping off and adding a search feature, but I have to balance time between developing a nice chart and reviewing applications. Bear with me on the slow development of the chart, and let me know what you think below in the comments.
I’ll start posting reviews once the chart is complete, starting with the most popular applications. I recently explained why I’m doing this and how I’ll be reviewing the applications if you’d like more info. Based on my reviews, your comments and our faculty response, I’ll begin recommending specific applications, and somehow indicate those apps on the chart.
Several sites and articles were of invaluable help in building this list of screen recording apps, including:
- Snapfiles, Windows software: Freeware, Shareware
- MacUpdate, Mac software
- VersionTracker, Mac software
- TUAW Faceoff: Screencasting (The Unofficial Apple Weblog article and comments)

I can see that DemoCreator is in the list. That is a good screen recorder for making software tutorial.
DemoCreator looks like a great alternative to the more expensive apps, with a pared down but good feature set. Definitely one of the apps I’m looking forward to testing.
Becouse the powerful editing feature of some screen recorders like DemoCreator and Captive, they can be used to make Christmas cards. I just found one sample on http://www.sameshow.com/samples/demo-merry-xmas/demo-merry-xmas.html.
Yeah, that could be fun.
Thanks for your chart. And merry Christmas.
