Zight combines screen recording with screenshots and GIF capture, which suits teams that document software as much as they explain it. The free Share plan records at up to 720p, creates 15-second GIFs and stores captures in a workspace. Create, at $9.95 per user per month billed annually, adds unlimited uploads and recording time, 4K recording, automatic transcription in more than 50 languages, captions, titles, redaction and annotations, plus 5 AI smart actions and up to 10 video requests a month. Collaborate, at $12, makes AI unlimited, raises video requests to 50 and adds custom branding, calls to action and SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance. Video Requests is the unusual feature: you send a link and a customer or colleague records their screen back without installing anything. Zendesk, Intercom and Salesforce Service Cloud integrations sit in the Enterprise Scale tier, so support teams on smaller plans lose that link to their help desk.

Who it is for

Support, onboarding and documentation teams that also need screenshots and GIFs.
