About Tella

Tella is a screen recorder that focuses on making recordings look good without separate editing software. You record your screen and camera in clips, rearrange and trim them, and apply layouts, backgrounds, camera framing and automatic zooms, then share a link or export in up to 4K. Transcripts in many languages, captions and AI features that cut filler words and silences run on a monthly credit allowance. It runs in the browser, with native Mac and Windows apps and a Chrome extension. Tella has no permanent free plan; there is a free trial, then Pro and Premium plans priced per user, with Premium adding custom domains, branding removal and 60fps export. Teams get shared workspaces and analytics. It sits between Loom and full editors: nicer output than a quick async message, far less work than editing in a timeline, which suits founders, marketers and course creators making product walkthroughs.

Best for: Founders, marketers and educators making good-looking product demos without an editor.
