Methodology and sources

Every figure is computed live from the Toolradar catalog, published Screen Recording tools only. Ratings and review counts are aggregated across third-party review platforms such as G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, SourceForge, TrustRadius and PeerSpot and are not the site's own reviews. Added in 2026 means added to the Toolradar directory this year, not the vendor's launch date. Leaderboards apply a 500-review floor. See how we rate.
