Looking for a better alternative to ScreenRec? We get that. You probably want a tool that’s made to convert viewers into leads and customers. Read on to see why Sendspark is the video recording solution you’re looking for. But first, take a look at how the two tools stack up against each other feature-for-feature.
Sendspark gives you powerful tools to impress prospects and customers. The first is our powerful AI video script generator. This tool gives you effective scripts that improve relationships and boost conversions. Make the perfect pitch, presentation, or response - each and every time.
Next up, we’ve got camera effects. One click and Sendspark automatically enhances your appearance so you look your best. Background looking messy? One more click blurs or replaces it with a background of choice.
Want to emphasize what you’re saying? Use spotlight mode to expand your webcam shot during screencast recordings. All tools are easy to access using shortcuts so you can hide your toolbar during important videos.
In comparison, ScreenRec is a simple screen recording tool with few extras. While it covers basic recording needs, it has no camera effects to help you look good or change your background.
If you want polished and professional videos, you’ll need to edit them after recording. The same applies to scripts; if you want help saying the right thing, you won’t get it with ScreenRec.
Next, let’s talk about how the two tools compare in terms of converting leads and customers.
Viewers respond to 90% of the video messages they watch. You just have to make sure they watch them. This is where Sendspark comes in handy. Unlike ScreenRec, Sendspark was designed for sales teams and customer-facing communications. Its features help 1,000+ revenue teams hook and book customers - and they’ll do the same for you.
One tool is the thumbnail editor. Use it to create attention-grabbing thumbnails viewers love. Start by choosing the specific frame(s) you want people to see. Then add subtitles and video captions to boost engagement and increase response rates. Finally, overlay your customer’s logo onto the thumbnail to really impress them and drive click rates up.
Once people click through, keep them hooked with custom landing pages. Populate the landing pages with your logo, branding, and custom text to drive engagement. Custom CTAs you can edit will then guide viewers towards the next step in one smooth motion.
ScreenRec has none of these features. With ScreenRec you get only basic recording, screenshot capturing, and link sharing. There are no custom CTAs, landing pages, or thumbnails. If you want any of these, you’ll have to use third-party software to create them. That means extra time and effort for you. There’s also no way to get a custom, branded subdomain to make your video presentation a little more personalized.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only time you need to do extra work with ScreenRec. Read on to see how the software limits you from sending videos quickly and at scale.
Sendspark gives you an easy way to create and send personalized videos at scale with dynamic personalization. Dynamic videos pull placeholders - recipients’ names, companies, and more - from Gmail, LinkedIn, Hubspot, Salesforce, Outreach, and other platforms. Recipients get videos and messages personalized for them.
In addition to dynamic videos, you can record personalized introductions and stitch them with existing videos. This lets you add a personal touch and make viewers feel special without recording long videos from scratch. For example, you can send a demo, sales pitch, or customer testimonial to a dozen recipients… And give each one a quick, 30-second intro to explain how it’s relevant to them. 1-to-1 feel, but you only record the core content once.
ScreenRec has none of these features. To send personalized videos at scale, you’d need to spend hours recording each one separately… Or hire a professional video editor to help you personalize them. Not something you want to spend your time and money doing, most likely.
There’s also no way to use dynamic personalization on your emails, landing pages, or video overlays. You can’t pull data from integrations like Gmail, LinkedIn, Hubspot, and Outreach to personalize messages at scale. This is hard when you’re alone - and even harder if you’ve got a team.
With our Team subscription, every team member gets a personal folder with their own videos. They also get a team library visible to everyone in their workspace. You can organize videos in folders for easy access and collaboration. Folders can include examples, model recordings, and videos to be personalized with custom intros. All team videos are hosted for free on Sendspark’s domain.
Once your team starts sending videos out, you can get analytics that improve team performance. Specifically, you can see which videos convert best, helping identify winning elements and best practices. You can also see which team members are the most active at sending videos. This helps identify which team members need support and education to do better. You can feed all this data into your CRM - Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, and more - to guarantee you’re turning the data into actionable insights.
You also get access to the same analytics available to individual Sendspark users. This includes our heat map feature, which shows what people watch and where they close your videos. It also includes customer locations. All of this helps you understand who’s watching your videos - and how they engage with them.
ScreenRec doesn’t have any collaborative or analytical capabilities. It’s great for simple recording needs but is not an option if you need analytics. There’s no heat map that tells you how people consume videos (or when they stop watching them). There are no team analytics to help you identify top performers. There’s no shared folder feature that lets you quickly and easily exchange videos with your team. If you want to collaborate with your team, there’s not much you can do.
Sendspark has a “free forever” plan, as well as a free trial for all paid plans. As an individual, you can expect to pay between $15-$49 / month; as a team, you can expect to pay $29.80 / per team member per month. Sendspark is designed for driving revenue, so you’ll be sure to see the ROI right away.
ScreenRec is available for free, but it has much fewer features than Sendspark does. Given how limited it is, you’re better off using the free Sendspark version and getting free hosting, thumbnails, and more. And if you need a complete sales tool, using ScreenRec basically means having to buy other 3rd-party tools to make your software stack. All of that being said, Sendspark just has more value - even if you’re using the free version.
ScreenRec is a basic screen recording tool. But Sendspark is a better and more powerful ScreenRec alternative if your goal is to drive video views and sales. The platform combines incredible video quality and personalization features with speed and scaleability. The pricing is surprisingly affordable, so you get the most bang for your proverbial buck. But don’t just take our word for it; try Sendspark for yourself with a free trial today!
