The bottom line

Good coverage for recording and finding conversations, with plan caps and cancellation complaints to weigh.

ScreenApp records and transcribes meetings, lectures, and conversations, then adds summaries, meeting minutes, recording search, video analysis, and translation. The free plan allows 2 transcriptions, 3 uploads or imports, 10 AI chats monthly, and recordings up to 45 minutes. Pro raises those caps to 50 monthly and allows recordings up to 2 hours; Max removes the usage caps and allows recordings up to 3 hours.

The pricing page lists Pro at $19 per month billed annually or $30 monthly; Max costs $34 annually or $69 monthly. That makes the free plan useful for trying the product, but regular users need to weigh the caps and recurring cost against other AI note takers. One Reddit thread describes mandatory cancellation form fields and a follow-up call request, so we would not treat account cancellation as friction-free.

01What ScreenApp actually does

ScreenApp is an AI tool for recording, transcribing and searching conversations. Its listed use cases include meetings, lectures and other audio or video recordings. It turns recordings into summaries, key decisions, action items and structured meeting minutes, then lets users search recordings or ask questions to find information and specific moments.

The feature set goes beyond meeting notes: ScreenApp says it can analyze video frames and find moments in both audio and video. It also lists real-time translation on Web and Mobile. The basic pitch is a searchable record of conversations, rather than a meeting bot focused only on live calls. That could suit people who need to revisit lectures, interviews or recorded discussions as well as meetings. The practical question is whether the monthly transcription, upload and recording-length limits fit your volume.

02Where ScreenApp is strong

ScreenApp covers the steps that often get split across separate tools: recording, transcription, summaries and finding details later. Search and question-answering are useful if the goal is to retrieve a decision or moment without replaying an entire recording. Structured minutes, action items and key decisions also give teams a more usable record than a transcript alone. Video-frame analysis and translation broaden the stated use cases beyond standard meeting notes.

The free plan gives a way to try the core workflow without paying: it includes 10 AI chats and templates a month, two transcriptions, three uploads or imports, and recordings up to 45 minutes. For regular use, the pricing page lists Pro at $30 monthly or $19 per month billed annually, with 50 transcriptions and 500 uploads or imports monthly and recordings up to two hours. Max costs $69 monthly or $34 per month billed annually, and removes the listed monthly chat, transcription and upload caps. A 7-day free trial is also listed, though the pricing details do not say which plan it applies to.

03Where it falls short

The free plan is a sampler, not a dependable high-volume option: two transcriptions and three uploads or imports per month can run out quickly, and recordings stop at 45 minutes. Pro raises those limits, but still caps users at 50 transcriptions and 500 uploads or imports a month, with a two-hour recording ceiling. Max removes those usage caps, but costs $69 month to month; its annual rate is $34 per month. That makes the cheaper price dependent on annual billing.

Enterprise starts at $199 per month, with recording, user and usage limits set by contract. The listed plan includes API and webhooks but does not offer SSO or SAML. Cancellation is another reason to read the terms carefully: in one Reddit thread, users complain about mandatory text fields in the cancellation form, and one commenter says they received an email asking them to schedule a call after submitting it. That is user-reported, not confirmation of the current process, but it is a warning worth weighing before subscribing.

04ScreenApp pricing: what you'll actually pay

According to the pricing page, ScreenApp has a free plan, a 7-day free trial, and paid plans starting at $19 per month when billed annually. Monthly billing costs more: Pro is $30/month or $19/month annually; Max is $69/month or $34/month annually. The annual prices are per month, but require annual billing.

Free is limited to 2 transcriptions, 3 uploads or imports, 10 AI chats and templates per month, and recordings up to 45 minutes. Pro raises those caps to 50 transcriptions, 500 uploads or imports, 50 AI chats and recordings up to 2 hours. Max removes the listed usage caps, but recordings still top out at 3 hours.

The jump from Pro to Max is $39/month on monthly billing, or $15/month at the annual rate. Enterprise starts at $199/month, with recording, user and usage limits set by contract; the annual price is not published. No add-ons are listed. If you need longer recordings or higher volume, check the plan caps before switching.

05Switching to (or from) ScreenApp

ScreenApp is built around recording, transcription and searching conversations, so switching means more than moving a list of contacts: you may need to bring over recordings and notes, then make sure you can find them in the new tool. The available information does not publish a migration process or confirm whether existing recordings, transcripts or summaries can be imported or exported. Check those points before you move a library you rely on.

Plan for a manual transition unless ScreenApp confirms otherwise. Its listed upload and import limits vary by plan: 3 on Free, 500 per month on Pro, and unlimited on Max. Those are usage caps, not a promise that another service’s data will transfer cleanly.

One Reddit thread is cited as reporting cancellation complaints, but the details and frequency are not provided. If you are leaving, confirm how to cancel and export your data before your next renewal. If you are switching in, weigh the recording limits and plan caps against how often your team searches older conversations.

From the threadsWhat users say

The Reddit comments provided are mostly negative, focused on cancellation friction and emails users felt were impersonal or misleading. This is a small set of complaints, not enough to establish how common these experiences are or how users feel about ScreenApp’s recording features.
