# Tella vs Snagit

> Tella does real screen recording and editing, not Snagit's annotated-screenshot-plus-trim workflow, with AI editing, cloud hosting, and analytics built in.

Snagit is a screenshot and annotation tool from TechSmith with basic video capture and trim. Its hosting, viewer tracking, comments, and chapters all live in a separate product (Screencast Pro), and it doesn't have transcription, zoom effects, layouts, or CTAs.

Tella is real screen recording and editing — not annotated-screenshot-plus-trim — with AI auto-cut and auto-zoom, cloud hosting, analytics, CTAs, chapters, and team collaboration in one tool.
