Capto
7-day free trial, then paid (standalone price not listed on site); also included in Setapp from $14.99/mo
Price checked at source August 20, 2026.
A screen recording and screenshot app with a built-in video and image editor, from Global Delight — also captures your connected iPhone or iPad’s screen.
Our take
The iOS screen-recording-via-Mac trick is the standout feature few competitors in this list offer. Pricing beyond the 7-day trial isn’t posted on the developer’s own homepage, so check the store link at checkout — it’s also bundled into Setapp at $14.99/mo if you’d rather not buy standalone.
