Plan details worth checking

Confirm the exact plan, billing interval, export rights and team access before committing. A free download, a free trial and a free ongoing plan are different offers.

Use the pricing source above to check current allowances. We do not assume a specific recording limit, export resolution or included AI budget when the reviewed source does not establish it.

Prices and entitlements can change after the review date. These pages are based on published information, not a controlled performance benchmark.

Choose for the work
you actually do.

The right choice depends on the output, the people using it and what happens when it needs an update.

Record Wow suits recurring walkthroughs, customer explanations and training material. Keep the recording, written instructions and review process in a free workspace, with downloadable files for later use.

Hippo Video

You need its specialist workflow.

Consider Hippo Video when you need screen capture as part of a larger personalized campaign workflow.

A hosted messaging service may fit an established communication stack. Record Wow is a stronger fit when your team wants to keep producing and maintaining the material after the initial conversation.

Try a real task

Compare with
a team update.

Share the same update with an internal teammate and an external reviewer. Check what each person can view, how comments attach to the video and how access is removed.

Make one revision before deciding

Change a real detail in the source material. Time the work needed to correct the explanation, inspect the final output and share the revision. This reveals more about everyday use than the first polished demo.

Bring your work into Record Wow.

  1. Keep an export and the original

    Check that your Hippo Video plan and permissions allow export. Save a supported video or image file and keep your original project as a backup. A hosted link alone is not a portable editing project.

  2. Build a small, complete example

    Import the media, arrange the explanation and add written steps. Review captions and screenshots against the source so the guide says what the recording actually shows.

  3. Test the handoff with another person

    Ask a teammate to follow the instructions and review the result. Check access from the recipient’s account before moving more material or replacing an existing workflow.
