A Vidyard alternative for teams that want a clean video app.
Vidyard's entire surface area is sales: view tracking, CRM integration, prospect engagement scoring. If you just want to record (or upload) a video, get a transcript, keep it organized, and share it, you are paying for ten features you will never touch.

Different tool for a different job
Vidyard charges per-seat pricing for features built around sales workflows. Screendog charges $29.99 per month for a focused video app: record or upload, transcribe, organize, share. If you are recording eight walkthroughs a day and want each one transcribed and kept in a folder, that is us. If you are sending personalized sales videos to 200 prospects a week and scoring their engagement, that is Vidyard.
What you give up
Screendog has no view-tracking pixel, no CRM webhooks, no "watched 73% of your video" notifications. Recordings just play in any browser, with the transcript and AI notes alongside. If those analytics are a dealbreaker, Vidyard is the right call.
Frequently asked
Does Screendog work for sales demos?
It works, but it is not optimized for it. There is no playback analytics, branded landing page, or in-video CTA. You get the recording, a transcript, AI notes, and a share link.
Is there a Chrome extension like Vidyard's?
No. Recording uses the browser's native Screen Capture API, and you can also upload existing video files.
Can I keep my recordings organized?
Yes. Move recordings into folders you name and share any recording with a link or embed.
