# Tella vs Screen Studio

> Tella makes videos just as polished as Screen Studio, then adds AI editing, instant hosting, analytics, and team collaboration, all in one tool.

Screen Studio is a Mac-only desktop recorder that produces beautiful recordings with smooth auto-zoom and background animations. It has a timeline, captions, and export up to 4K60. That's most of what it does.

There's no team plan, no embedded player, no analytics, no AI audio enhancement, no transcript editing, and shareable links are capped at 30 minutes each. You record, edit, export, and upload to another tool.

Tella matches Screen Studio's polish with AI editing, instant unlimited hosting, embedded players, analytics, password protection, and team collaboration — across Mac, Windows, and the browser. Everything in one tool.
