Cap

Cap is a ai video creation tool for making video. In its own words: Cap is the open source alternative to Loom. Lightweight, powerful, and cross-platform. Record and share in seconds.

What the free plan gives you

Free and open source screen recorder.

Because Cap is open source, the ceiling is your own infrastructure rather than a billing page. Self-hosting costs nothing but your time, and a hosted plan is there if you would rather not run it.

What it does

Cap covers summary, chapters, instant Links, background Upload, auto Transcription.

When you would pay

You may never need to. The free tier is not a funnel step here, so the sensible move is to use it until something it genuinely cannot do forces the question.

We list Cap because the free plan was checked against its own pricing page, not because a vendor asked. If it has changed, tell us and we will re-check it.
