Why people switch from Tella
Browser-only on Windows today
Tella runs in the browser on Windows — a native Windows app is announced as coming soon, but not yet shipping. Notch already has a native build for Windows 10 and 11.
Per-seat subscription
Tella charges $13/user/mo (annual) or $26/user/mo per seat. Costs scale with team size. Notch is a one-time $29 purchase with no recurring fees.
Cloud-first workflow
Recordings live on Tella servers and are shared via Tella links. Notch keeps everything local — record, edit, and export an MP4 you own.
No multilingual caption tracks
Notch keeps parallel caption tracks in multiple languages on the same project and exports each as SRT or burned-in subtitles. Tella covers single-language captions only.

When Tella is the better choice
- •If your workflow centers on shareable cloud links — viewer comments, in-page playback, and team libraries — Tella's cloud-first model is hard to beat.
- •Tella has integrated branding controls, presenter layouts, and template scenes that are great for marketing teams shipping consistent content at scale.
- •If you already pay for Tella and the team is happy with browser-based recording, switching may not be worth the workflow change.

One-time pricing
Pay $29 once. No annual renewal, no per-seat fees, future updates included.
Local editing
Trim, reorder segments, blur sensitive regions, add backgrounds and annotations — all on your machine. Tella edits in the browser against its servers; Notch edits the source file directly with no upload.
