Ayuti vs ScreenApp
Ayuti vs ScreenApp
ScreenApp is a browser-based screen recorder that also transcribes and summarizes recordings — including an imported YouTube link. Ayuti never records anything; it reads the YouTube videos and channels you already watch.
In short
ScreenApp’s job starts with a recording — your screen, a webcam, or a YouTube URL you feed it — and ends with notes and an AI chat scoped to that one recording. Ayuti’s job starts with a channel: it fetches new videos on its own and builds a library you can question across, with no recording step at all.

What each one is actually built for
ScreenApp
ScreenApp is built for capture: record your screen, a call, or a video, and get a transcript, summary and chat on that specific recording, with an easy way to import a YouTube URL as one more source.
Ayuti
Ayuti is built for keeping up, not capturing: point it at a channel once and it keeps producing transcripts, a weekly digest and a cross-video Brief for as long as you follow it — with nothing to record or upload.
Where Ayuti is different
Whole-library Ask
Ask a question and Ayuti answers from every video you’ve processed — not just the one you happen to be looking at — with the source cited inline.
Channels you follow, not links you paste
Add a channel once. Ayuti checks it and emails you a digest as new videos publish, so you don’t have to remember to open anything.
The Brief
Ayuti reads everything new across your library and writes a synthesis of what the sources actually agree — and disagree — on, cited back to the exact line of the transcript.
Nothing to keep updated
Ayuti is a web app, not a browser extension. There is nothing to install, and nothing that quietly breaks the next time YouTube changes its page.
Questions people ask
Can Ayuti record my screen, like ScreenApp?
No. Ayuti doesn’t record anything — it processes YouTube videos that already exist, either one link at a time or a whole channel you follow.
Is Ayuti cheaper than ScreenApp?
Ayuti’s free plan needs no card for one channel and up to ten videos a month; ScreenApp’s free tier is a single 45-minute recording. See current pricing for what Ayuti Pro costs against ScreenApp’s $19/month.
Can I use Ayuti and ScreenApp together?
Yes. ScreenApp for recordings you make yourself — calls, screen walkthroughs — and Ayuti for the YouTube channels you follow but never recorded.
