One plan. Every feature.
Viewers free forever.
No tier ladder, no feature held back for a higher plan, and nobody pays to press play. You pay for the people who record; everyone else watches for nothing, permanently.
Spool — one plan, all features
$7per user / month
$84 per user, once a year.
$20per user / month
No year to commit to. Leave after any single month.
Yes — monthly is nearly three times yearly. That gap is the honest price of an exit: $7 is what Spool costs when you plan to stay, $20 is what it costs to keep the freedom to leave after one month. Both numbers are on this page because hiding one behind a toggle is how people end up surprised by their own invoice.
Everything means everything
- Screen, camera and mic recording — in the browser or the Mac app
- Streaming upload: the take is uploading while you are still talking
- The AI editor — word-level transcripts and cutting by deleting text
- One-click Clean up for filler words and long pauses
- Captions on any recording with a transcript
- Cursor effects — auto-zoom, smoothing and click ripples (on recordings made with the Mac app)
- Share pages, embeds, comments and reactions
- View analytics on every recording
Every feature Spool ships lands in this plan. There is no higher tier for it to land in instead.
The Viewer Guarantee
Viewers are free, unlimited, and forever.
Someone who watches a Spool, leaves a comment, or drops a reaction will never appear on your invoice, never need a license, and can never be converted into a paid seat — not by us, not by our billing system, not by a future pricing change. You pay for the people who record. Nobody pays to watch.
We are this explicit because the alternative is well documented: teams on other tools have opened an invoice and found people who only ever pressed play turned into paid seats after a billing change. A promise that lives only on a marketing page can be edited on a marketing page, so this one is written to go into the terms of service word for word. There is no terms page to link you to yet — Spool has no accounts and nothing to sign — so until there is, hold us to this page.
Fourteen days, and an honest ending
The trial is the whole product, and the end of it does not take anything away from the people you already sent links to.
Days 1 to 14: the whole product
Fourteen days from the day the account is made, with every feature switched on. No watermark, no recording cap, no length limit, and nothing labeled “available on a higher plan” — because there is no higher plan.
Day 15, if you decide against it
Recording locks. Everything you already shared keeps playing. The links you sent to other people are not ours to switch off to make a point — holding an audience hostage to force an upgrade is the specific move Spool exists to invert.
Or do not pay us at all
Spool’s backend is one container and a data volume, and self-hosting stays possible on purpose: your server, your storage, your domain, your retention rules.
What a paid plan buys is the hosted version — the servers, the storage, the upgrades, the part where none of it is your problem. It is not permission to use the software.
There is nothing to buy yet
This page is a published price, not a checkout.
Spool has no accounts, no checkout, and no way to take your money. Recording, the editor and share links are open and free during the public beta. The prices above are what happens afterwards — written down now so the number is something you already read rather than something you discover.
When sign-up opens, the fourteen days start then. Nothing is counting down in the background today.
The awkward questions
Will there be a free plan after the trial?
We have not decided, and we would rather print that than imply an answer. Two things are settled either way: self-hosting stays free, and viewers stay free.
What counts as a user?
Someone who records or edits. Watching, commenting and reacting are not recording — which is the entire point of the Viewer Guarantee.
What about teams — SSO, admin, pooled billing?
Priced later, as seats of the same plan. Not as features you have to climb a tier to reach.
Do my viewers need an account?
No. A share link plays for anyone who has it — no login, no app, no cost.
Prices in US dollars, per user. Set 4 August 2026. If they change, this page changes with them and says what changed.
