Best for
Scribe: Enterprises that need desktop capture, auto-redaction, and admin controls
Not for
Budget-sensitive teams. Desktop capture and branded exports sit behind the paid tiers, and per-seat cost adds up fast.
Best for
Whale: SMBs that want SOPs and onboarding training in one place
Not for
Capture-heavy workflows. The screen-capture layer is thinner than the AI-first tools above.
