Comparison

SayScreen vs Guidde

Both use AI to make narrated how-to videos, but they split the work differently. With Guidde you capture the workflow yourself and get a step-by-step video plus a written guide. With SayScreen you describe the lesson, and an AI records, narrates and edits the video in a real browser. Guidde suits documentation teams that need written guides, desktop apps and translation; SayScreen suits teams that want finished videos of a web app without recording them.

Guidde or SayScreen: which should you choose?

Choose Guidde if…

  • You want a written step-by-step guide with every video, exportable to PDF, Word or your knowledge base
  • Your processes include desktop software or mobile browsers (Business and Enterprise)
  • You need translation or SCORM exports, both on Guidde's Enterprise plan
  • You'd rather click through the task yourself than describe it in a prompt

Choose SayScreen if…

  • You want the recording done for you: describe the lesson, and the AI clicks through your web app
  • You want an AI voiceover on every video, or your own cloned voice
  • Your interface changes often, and you'd rather re-run a prompt than capture the guide again
  • You want studio-style video: zooms that follow the action, a gliding cursor and captions, in 1080p

Where Guidde and SayScreen differ

Who does the recording

Guidde records what you do: you click through the process with its browser extension (or its desktop app on Business and up), and each click becomes a step. SayScreen does the clicking itself: its AI reads each screen of your web app and decides where to click, from a one-line description of the lesson. You watch it work instead of performing the steps.

A video, or a video and a document

Every Guidde capture becomes both a video and a written step-by-step guide, which paid plans export to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML or Markdown. SayScreen makes one thing: a narrated, edited MP4 with an .srt caption file. If your team lives in written SOPs, Guidde covers more.

Narration and editing

Guidde writes the script and, on Business and Enterprise, voices it with AI text-to-voice; on Free and Pro you record or upload your own voiceover. SayScreen writes every script and voices it in a natural AI voice, then edits in zooms, a gliding cursor, click highlights and captions. Change a line and it's re-voiced and re-timed without recording again.

Pricing

Guidde charges per creator: Pro is $29 a month ($19 billed yearly) and Business, which adds AI voices and desktop capture, is $59 ($39 billed yearly) per creator. SayScreen is $1 for your first 7 days, then $29 a month for 30 videos, up to 10 minutes each. Guidde also has a free plan, with 25 guides and a watermark.
