ScreenFlow
From $199 one-time (Standard); free, fully-functional trial available with no time limit, exports watermarked until purchase
Price checked at source August 29, 2026.
Telestream’s screen recorder and video editor for Mac — simultaneous screen, camera, and mic capture plus a full timeline editor, from $199 one-time.
Our take
Built exclusively for Mac since 2007 and still positioned that way — Telestream’s own site frames it as recording and editing in one app, not a recorder that hands off to something else for the edit. It captures screen, camera, and microphone at once, then edits on a multi-track timeline with titles, transitions, and closed captions, rather than the single-take capture most competitors in this section offer. The free trial is fully functional with no time limit, the honest catch being watermarked exports until you buy — a $199 one-time license with no subscription, for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs alike.
