Peutly vs Scribe. Here is when each one wins.
Scribe is a process-documentation tool: you perform a task, it writes the guide. It is very good at that, it is cheap, and it is in a different category from Peutly. The reason the two get compared is that a Scribe guide and a Peutly demo both start with a browser capture. What comes out the other end is a document in one case and a working replay of your product in the other.
Scribe pricing, as Scribe publishes it
Every figure below is copied from their own pricing page, last read on 6 November 2026. Where they publish no number, we say so instead of estimating one.
| Plan | Monthly | Seats and what is included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Free | Not stated Web capture only. No custom branding, no PDF or HTML export. |
| Pro Personal | $35 per seat | From 1 seat Adds custom branding, desktop and mobile capture, advanced insights and PDF, HTML and Markdown export. |
| Pro Team | $17 per seat | From 5 seats Adds comments. |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom Adds SAML SSO, auto-redaction of PII and PHI, language translations, an enterprise search API and multiple workspaces. |
The seat maths. Scribe Pro Team is $17 per seat per month, $13 annually, from five seats. Five seats is $85 a month, already above Peutly Screenshot at $45 flat for a clickable screenshot tour; ten seats is $170, just under Peutly Essentials at $175, which captures the real DOM. Again, the bill is not the interesting part: what you get for it is a library of written guides in one case and interactive demos in the other.
What each price buys. Peutly records screenshot tours on Screenshot, at $45 a month, and captures the real DOM from Essentials, at $175 a month, so the demo is your actual interface and stays editable afterwards. Both come out of the same extension and workspace. Scribe does not offer DOM capture on any plan, Screenshot-based guides. No DOM capture on any plan.. The two prices buy different kinds of product.
The matrix
Scribe is a process documentation tool. Rows marked missing for Peutly are things we genuinely do not do, not things we are about to ship.
| Feature | Peutly | Scribe |
|---|---|---|
| What the viewer gets | A demo they click through | A guide they read |
| Captured output stays editable HTML Scribe captures annotated screenshots. Peutly captures the DOM, so text and images inside the captured product remain editable. | Essentials+ | |
| Free plan Scribe Basic is free, limited to web capture and without custom branding. Peutly has a free trial instead of a free plan. | Basic | |

Where Peutly wins
A prospect will finish a demo they can drive
Scribe produces a document. Documents are excellent for someone who has already bought and now needs to do the thing. They are a poor fit for someone deciding whether your product is worth a meeting. Peutly hands that person the product and lets them move through it themselves.
Capture leads where the interest actually is
Peutly puts a form at any step in the demo, and the analytics tell you which step the viewer reached before submitting. Scribe has no reason to do this and does not. If the goal is pipeline rather than enablement, that mechanism is the whole point.
Narration in 56 languages without re-recording
Write the script, pick a voice and one of 56 languages and accents, and Peutly synthesises the audio. Scribe lists language translations on Enterprise for the written guide and does not list AI voice-over.
Flat pricing, unlimited users
Scribe Pro Team is $17 per seat from five seats. Peutly is $175 or $450 for the workspace. Past ten people the flat plan wins, and past twenty it is not close.
Where Scribe wins
It is the right tool for documentation, and it is cheap
Scribe Basic is free for web capture. Pro Team is $13 per seat annually. If what you need is a searchable library of internal how-to guides, Scribe does that better than we ever will, for a fraction of the price.
The guide writes itself
Scribe generates the written steps from what you did, automatically. Peutly captures the flow, and its AI assistant can suggest a narration script for you to review, but it does not produce a written guide. For teams producing dozens of process documents a week, that difference compounds.
Desktop and mobile capture
Scribe captures desktop and mobile from Pro Personal. Peutly is a Chrome extension and captures browser flows only.
Enterprise compliance features we do not have
SAML SSO, automatic redaction of PII and PHI, multiple workspaces and an enterprise search API are all on Scribe Enterprise. If you work in healthcare or finance and auto-redaction is a requirement, that is a genuine reason to pick them and it is not close.
Choose Scribe if you are documenting processes, especially at volume or under a compliance requirement. Choose Peutly if the artefact needs to convince someone who has not bought yet. These are different jobs, and running both is a perfectly sensible outcome.
Peutly and Scribe, the short answers
If we got a fact about their product wrong, email founders@peutly.com and we will correct it.
Not really. Scribe writes step-by-step documentation from a browser capture. Peutly turns it into something a viewer clicks through: a screenshot tour on Screenshot, or a replay of the real DOM from Essentials. They overlap at the capture step and nowhere else. Teams commonly use Scribe for internal SOPs and Peutly for buyer-facing demos.
Not as a document. Peutly captures the flow, and its AI assistant can suggest or improve a narration script per step, which you review. It does not produce a written step-by-step guide. Scribe generates that guide for you, which is the core of what it does.
It depends on the plan. Scribe Basic is free. Scribe Pro Team is $17 a seat monthly, $13 annually, from five seats, so its smallest paid team ($85 a month) costs more than Peutly Screenshot at $45 flat, which turns the same browser capture into a clickable screenshot tour. Ten Scribe seats are $170, just under Peutly Essentials at $175, which captures the real DOM. Unlimited users means Peutly does not move as the team grows.
No. You blur or remove elements by hand in the editor, which works well when you know what to hide and not at all as a compliance control. Scribe lists automatic PII and PHI redaction on Enterprise.
