Our verdict

Apowersoft’s screen recorder comes in two parts. The Free Online Screen Recorder runs in the browser with no time limit and no watermark, but it saves WebM files and can’t record system sound on a Mac. For more, Apowersoft sends you to ApowerREC, its desktop app for Windows and Mac.

ApowerREC is cheap at $39.95 a year and covers scheduled recordings, webcam, system sound and drawing on screen. Its editor only trims and adds watermarks or intros, and Apowersoft doesn’t publish the trial’s limits or the maximum recording resolution.

If you want a paid recorder with a fuller editor, compare it with Camtasia. If you want to share by link right after recording, compare it with Loom.
