Why switch

Everything you came for, less to pay

If you like what Screen Studio does, you'll feel at home, minus the price tag.

Price

Pay $12 once, not every month

Screen Studio is now a subscription ($9–$20/month). Superscreen is a single $12 payment with free lifetime updates and no recurring bill to cancel.

Effortless polish

Finished the moment you stop

Automatic zoom, smooth cursor, framed backgrounds, and camera layouts land instantly, then you fine-tune anything in a live editor. The export matches the preview exactly.

Try it free

Use the whole app before paying

Recording and the full editor are free, so you can try every feature first. Only exporting your finished video needs the one-time Lifetime license.

Questions about switching

Is Superscreen a good Screen Studio alternative?+

Yes. Superscreen does the same job — beautiful product demos and tutorials on macOS — with automatic zoom, smooth cursor, camera overlays, framed backgrounds, and on-device captions. The biggest difference is the price: a one-time $12 instead of Screen Studio's monthly subscription.

Does Screen Studio still have a one-time license?+

Screen Studio now sells a subscription ($20/month, or $9/month billed yearly); the old one-time license has been discontinued. Superscreen is still a single one-time $12 purchase with free lifetime updates.

Does Superscreen have automatic zoom like Screen Studio?+

Yes. Superscreen tracks your cursor and zooms in on the action automatically, with no keyframing. You can also adjust any zoom by hand for full control.

Can I try it before paying?+

Yes. Recording and the full editor are free. The only thing the one-time Lifetime license unlocks is exporting your finished video.
