Overview

Tella is a screen recorder and editor with three AI features. The Tella Agent edits your recording from a chat, Tella Motion builds animated titles, lower thirds, charts and diagrams timed to what you say, and Auto Capture (beta) has an AI agent film a demo of your web app.

Who it fits

It suits creators and marketers making tutorials, product demos and launch videos. Its MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor edit, export and publish recordings, and build Tella Motion graphics, on any plan.

What the plans include

Pro is $13 and Premium $19 per user a month with annual billing, with 4,500 and 9,000 monthly credits per user. Credits pay for agent messages and Auto Capture takes; recording, manual editing, subtitles and exports do not use them.

Limits and alternatives

Tella centers on screen recordings, and included credits do not roll over. Loom covers quick async recordings, Descript edits by transcript, and Clueso builds product demos and explainers.

Who it's for

A good fit if you are…

  • Creators and marketers making tutorials, product demos and launch videos from screen recordings
  • People who want Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor to edit and publish their recordings

Another tool may suit you better if you are…

  • Anyone editing camera footage from a shoot rather than screen recordings
  • People who want AI editing with no credits (agent messages and Auto Capture use credits)

Pricing

Pro $13 and Premium $19 per user a month (annual billing, 50% off monthly); Enterprise custom; 7-day trial. AI credits: 4,500 per Pro user and 9,000 per Premium user a month. As of Oct 2026, verify.
