A Vidyard alternative for teams that ship code, not pipeline.
Vidyard's entire surface area is sales: view tracking, CRM integration, prospect engagement scoring. If you are an engineering team trying to use it for bug reports, 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 features built around shipping software. If you are recording 8 bug reports a day and want each one to become a Linear ticket, that is us. If you are sending personalized sales videos to 200 prospects a week, 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. 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. Use the Demo Dossier export to send a clean follow-up note instead.
Is there a Chrome extension like Vidyard's?
No. Recording uses the browser's native Screen Capture API.
Does Screendog file into a CRM?
No. The supported integrations are Linear, GitHub Issues, Notion, Slack, and Jira — engineering, ticketing, and async-comms surfaces, not sales tooling.
