Tella sits between a quick recorder and a video editor, which suits async updates that get watched many times, such as onboarding walkthroughs or product demos. It records screen, webcam, microphone and system audio at up to 4K, includes a teleprompter, and allows clips of up to 6 hours that can be combined. Editing is the strength: you can edit by transcript, remove silences, filler words and buffering, and ask the Tella Agent, an AI editor in the sidebar, to make changes from a chat. Transcription covers 106 languages. Pro costs $13 per user per month billed annually and includes unlimited videos, 4,500 credits a month, 4K export, team collaboration and analytics. Premium at $19 adds 9,000 credits, a custom domain, domain restriction and removal of Tella branding. There is no permanent free plan, only a 7-day free trial. For a 2 minute stand-up clip, Tella's editing tools may be more than a team needs.
