Eofent Capture vs Awesome Screenshot

Awesome Screenshot is a screenshot and screen recorder built around a cloud account: recordings can go to its servers, get a share link, and land in Slack or Jira. Eofent Capture is built the other way round. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, the free tier records up to ten minutes a take instead of five, and it exports more formats, including GIF and audio on its own.

Where Eofent Capture goes further

  • Nothing leaves your machine, and the listing has nothing to declare, because there is no server for a capture to be uploaded to.
  • The free tier records up to ten minutes a take and there are no cloud ceilings to hit, because there is no cloud.
  • More ways out: MP4, WebM, MKV and GIF for video, MP3, WAV and WebA for audio, and audio can be recorded on its own. Video and audio are cut on a two-track timeline.
  • It works through lists, crawls a page for its links, and Premium repeats the run on a schedule.
  • The page can be tidied before it is shot, PDFs keep their text and links, and text can be read out of an image offline.
  • Premium costs less than half of Awesome Screenshot's cheapest paid plan.

What Awesome Screenshot does better

  • Sharing is the point of it. A recording gets a link the moment it finishes, and it can land straight in Slack, Jira, Trello, Asana or GitHub. If your team lives in those tools, that is a real workflow Eofent Capture does not have.
  • It records your webcam over the screen, which makes it a walkthrough tool as much as a capture tool.
  • Four million users and a decade in the store.
  • Its cloud library follows you between machines. Eofent Capture's library is your browser profile, on purpose, so it stays on the one device.

Questions people arrive with

Does Eofent Capture store recordings in the cloud?

No. Recordings are made and kept on your machine, in your browser profile, and you decide where the exported file goes. There is no share link because there is no server to host one.

Is there a recording limit on the free tier?

Takes are up to ten minutes each. Signed out, twenty video downloads a day; with a free account, forty. Premium removes the length limit. Awesome Screenshot's free tier caps a locally saved recording at five minutes.

Which one should a team use?

If the recording has to be in Slack or Jira ten seconds after it ends, Awesome Screenshot is built for exactly that. If the pages you capture are client sites, internal dashboards or anything you would rather not put on a third party's server, Eofent Capture never gives you the option to.
