Great system for communicating "this" is what I mean!
I was really struggling to use similar software, such as techsmith or others and none of them really did everything that I wanted. Once I landed on Berrycast, my and my entire team's productivity shot WAY up. Because it is so easy to record and to say "this" is what is wrong, everyone gets it! No more spending hours of time trying to explain what went wrong...this has been a HUGE timesaver.
PROSThis software is so easy to use. When I have something that I need done or a customer wants to explain desired features / functions to me, I simply hit record and go through all the motions of capturing the information. Once done, the link goes over to the rest of my team and they can collaborate on the video file that I sent over and to more easily understand exactly what the client needed. It is an incredible software package and it is so easy to use.
CONSThere really are very little downsides to this product.
Reason for choosing Berrycast
Loom was going to be really expensive for my entire team to use. Berrycast was at the right price!

Still much room to grow, but will they?
I’ve been really trying to love this platform but my overall experience has been negative. More than their unlimited storage, I care for having my teammates able to create longer than 5minute videos. However on my MacBook When I start a recording their app pops up and won’t let me easily choose what to record. My first experience sharing a video with a client they could not view it since it kept buffering and audio was not very good. They have good ideas but I wonder if they will be able to succeed. I hope so but not sure yet if I will stay for the ride.
PROSPricing is much more approachable than Loom and no need to worry about 5min recording limits for you or your teammates
CONSStill many bugs and streaming many times stutters.
Reason for choosing Berrycast
Loom’s 5min limit for teammates is very limiting for our needs. Loom offers unlimited video hosting but more importantly a better deal for your team, when it works.

Feature rich screen recording and communications tool
Very good with the exception of a few hiccups, but when they were happening it was extremely inconvenient. They've made vast improvements since and I still use Berrycast in conjunction with other tools.
PROSContinuous development, great user interface, and customizability. The active development team and customer support.
CONSSlow upload speeds and sometimes unreliable where videos do not upload correctly after long sessions (45+). Still able to recover the files but it wasn't easy.
Reasons for switching to Berrycast
Loom has very poor limits on the free plan and their monthly price isn't all that appealing with so many up-and-coming alternatives with feature parity.

One of my best investments
Overall experience has been fantastic. I use it multiple times, every day. I don't see how I managed without it.
PROSBerrycast makes sharing information on your screen simple. With a click of the mouse, I am able to record, narrate and then share to clients or associates, exactly what I need. No more blindly talking to them, it makes explanations and demos simple and hassle-free.
CONSOn my 2017 Mac Pro, I found that after about 6 min of recording, the machine gets a little sluggish and heats up. Though this issue could be local to me.
Reason for choosing Berrycast
Had a fantastic price, and I liked their branding.

Screen recording with Berrycast, fun and good quality
Perfect experience! Support was fast, they used Berrycast themselves to quickly answer my questions. The tool is fun to use. Love it!
PROSEasy to use, easy to manage recorded casts, clients are happy with it. Also using it now for instructions in a learning environment.
CONSNothing really. It would be nice if there was some basic editing. Re-record from a certain position, delete frames. But there are many solutions for that.
Reasons for switching to Berrycast
I prefer to use snagit for screen captures not for recordings. Berrycast also offers a good hosting platform for the casts.

I Can Use Berrycast From Both Of My Macbook & Windows PC
Now I can record screen from my Macbook & Windows PC. And very easy to share the recorded video to my clients & teammates. That is why Berrycast is cool to me. It helps me to save my time. Thank you.
PROS- Easy to use - Can use in Mac & Windows platform - No need to upload anywhere to share it to others - UX & UI is super cool - Price is reasonable.
CONSThe editing feature is not yet mature. I think they should update it as early as possible. Else it, everything is awesome.
Reasons for switching to Berrycast
Faststone is only available in Windows platform. Moreover, it is Desktop based tool. I need to upload the screen record in a place to share it with my teammates & clients. So I needed to switch to a common platform, which helps me to do the same work from both platforms.

Better than Loom especially if you get it through Appsumo!
It is a great product to use to do tutorial videos for customers on how to use their wordpress websites.
PROSFor the first thing the price through Appsumo for lifetime was good a little over a year price. The great features are that it doesn't just use a chrome extension like loom. You can have it on your computer and just a little green line on the left of your desktop and when you are read to record just hover over it and it pops out and then you can quickly record. The tier I have you can use cname so the links are ones from your own personal site and you can brand it with your own logos. It really makes it look great and makes you look sophisticated as a business. The video and audio seems good for what I need.
CONSSometimes it can buffer when trying to watch the video, but not too often.
Reasons for switching to Berrycast
So they started making it so in the free version you could only do 5 minute videos and often I needed longer, so I was going to buy that, but found this on appsumo for a lifetime subscription and it has more features than Loom

Great alternative to Loom
I use Berrycast to communicate with clients and contractors topics that would be hard to explain by text only. I use it as a quick and easy way to screen share and record audio to explain something. It's super simple to do.
PROSIt's quick and easy to launch and use on a PC. It makes sharing screen recordings simple and quick. Because of this I use it often to demonstrate something that would not be explained well in an text email.
CONSBecause I use this for simple screen recordings, I can't think of any feature at the moment that is lacking. They have added additional features since I've used the product, and they've polled users as to which ones are most important to us. If you are looking for a full-fledged video editor, this probably won't be what you are looking for.
Reasons for switching to Berrycast
I got Berrycast as a deal with Appsumo, so the pricing made sense.

Mit Berrycast ganz einfach eine Bildschirmaufnahme machen
Das Tool ist für mich eine unheimliche Erleichterung, wenn ich Content für YouTube erstelle oder eben für meine Online-Kurse. Daher kann ich das nur wärmstens empfehlen.
PROS1. Du hast verschiedene Möglichkeiten Berrycast einzubinden, entweder als Software auf dem Rechner oder als Chrome-Plug-in. Ich selbst nutze die Version für den PC. 2. In Sekunden kannst du deinen Bildschirm abfilmen und dabei zwischen mit und ohne Kamera wählen. 3. Wenn du für jemanden Support machst, musst du nicht erst das Video hochladen, sondern generierst dir einen Link von dem Video und kannst es direkt an die gewünschte Person weiterleiten. So kann rasant Videosupport angeboten werden, für bestimmte Probleme beim Kunden oder Freunden. 4. Du kannst die gedrehten Videos in Ordner verschieben. D. h. z. B. du drehst einen Videokurs zu einem bestimmten Thema ab und kannst alle Videos an einem bestimmten Ort sammeln. Somit gehen diese in der Übersicht der anderen Videos nicht verloren, die man mal eben auf die Schnelle gedreht hat.
CONSEs kommt nur selten vor, aber gelegentlich gibt es mal Probleme, dass die Videos überhaupt nicht gespeichert werden oder nur schwer zu erkennen ist, hat, er jetzt wirklich das Video hochgeladen oder muss ich es unter Umständen noch mal drehen.

Berrycast is giving Loom a serious run for their money
Aside from a small issue where I couldn't record with my AirPods without having some sort of metallic sound, everything else was great. I switched to a USB microphone and the problem was solved. It was all for the better as the mic quality was significantly better.
PROSI absolutely love Berrycast, so much so I've been asking everyone I know to start using this. It's a wonderful tool for remote teams. As we all work at different hours, making videos to explain something, or to update each other on their part of the project has allowed us to reduce meeting time to a minimum. Please keep this up!
CONSI would love to have the direct video link feature, to be able to embed the videos on my website. Some viewing stats would be handy too (total views, when someone views the link for the first time)

Berrycast is now a regular tool for presenting work remotely to clients
The main way we use Berrycast is to present our projects to clients asynchronously. The app allows us to be more concise, more to the point, and saves everyone's time by avoiding yet another hour-long Zoom meeting. In a 5-10 minute video, I showcase the mock-ups of the project, explain our creative vision, and suggest some thoughts and next steps for discussing this presentation. Customers love being able to watch presentations at their convenience and the ease of a browser. The other main way we use Berrycast is to give feedback to our team, on designs they produced. Team members appreciate this vocal and visual feedback along with an email that lists every correction to make, that serves as a checklist.
PROSI love how easy Berrycast is to use and how in 5 seconds, we're ready to record. Once you've mastered the keyboard shortcuts, it's even easier to record smoother videos, pausing to avoid "uhhhh's." I like that I can rename the files, share through a link or email, as well as the overall look of the app. I also enjoy being able to create folders and thus organize according to our active clients. But my favorite feature of all is the white label, available with a Pro account! Customization with our logo and brand colors is great. I generally love when I can appropriate a software to make it my own, and so far Berrycast is doing it well.
CONSOne little thing that bothers me is that the app automatically opens when I restart my computer. But you can easily disable this in the settings.
Reasons for switching to Berrycast
I find that Berrycast is simpler, cleaner and fits my needs better. (Share with a link, add a title to the video, White Label, etc)

Great product - watch out Loom
Being able to brand the product is awesome and helps to keep brand consistency across the many products/platforms that we use. Allowing clients to comment on the video is great and allows us to give clarity to our clients very quickly with zero risk of miscommunication.
CONSNo branding on password entry splash screen. The macOS can at times feel a little clunky but it is functional. I hate that we cannot remove the Berrycast toolbar during recordings or afterwards. It really does limit our use case.

Berrycast is a very lightweight screenrecorder that boosts our productivity like no other
We love Berrycast. It is blazingly fast, has a small learning curve and makes us significantly more productive.
PROSBerrycast is one of the productivity secrets at Finc3. We heavily use it to teach colleagues about new processes, share ideas and even do asynchronous meetings internally and with clients. The tool is perfectly lightweight and encodes video blazingly fast compared to other screen recorders. We love that it integrates well with asana, rendering rich video previews into asana tasks, so it is easy to give people more context.
CONSThere are only minor improvements. User management should be improved for business accounts to more easily, i.e. reset the passwords of users or ensure 2factor authentication. and then there are minor pet peeves like the password entry page not being branded (yet)

Decent tool with evolving features
The customer service has been responsive which is nice. They have also been tweaking features and recently added in a annotation feature. I did wish they brought back the option to download the videos prior to uploading- this is just in case the upload fails and the video disappears.
PROSI love the user interface- it was intuitive and easy to use. The recordings (video and audio) are clear, and you also have a choice to record the entire screen or select only certain parts of the screen for recording. Additionally, you can trim the video directly using Berrycast.
CONSThe uploading of the video takes a long time, especially you're doing recordings that are longer than 30 minutes. If the uploading fails, it has to restart from scratch and you can't close the app or shut down the computer, which is not useful. Also, there isn't an option to download the recording for safekeeping if the video fails to upload- so there's a possibility that your recording may be lost if it doesn't upload safely to cloud.

Berrycast, a good alternative to Loom if the price changes
I use Berrycast to communicate more effectively with my collaborators and clients, but for recording tutorials and online classes I prefer other platforms. I must say that I use Berrycast because I managed to buy it at a much cheaper price than the current one in a particular promotion they did. At the current price of Berrycast I would recommend other platforms.
PROSBerrycast is the typical software that is not trendy, is not known by many and yet offers excellent features. With Berrycast you can record video messages and share them with whoever you want. It makes communication between teams and between clients and agencies much easier. It works very similarly to Loom.
CONSWhat I liked least about Berrycast is that the image and sound quality is not excellent. It's not bad, but it's not top notch. For video messages it works perfectly well, but if you want to record a tutorial, for example, the quality of the video leaves a lot to be desired. Another very negative point of Berrycast is its price, practically higher than Loom's prices. Honestly, it doesn't make sense that a relatively unknown tool with less functionality charges more than an established tool.

Highly efficient platform, with top-notch customer support team!
At present, with endless meetings, I need to record most of them to go back and view them for my reference. With the help of BerryCast, I no longer have to worry if I will reach my recording limit and if I no longer have memory in my computer because it saves online. It's so easy to record my screen and share the video with colleagues or clients. And I know that when something is not working, there will be a very responsive customer support team who will help me out. Again, BerryCast is highly efficient, exceptionally reliable, easy to use, and exceeds my and my teams' expectations.
PROSBerrycast is exceptionally reliable, easy to use, and exceeds my and my teams' expectations. I have used 10s of platforms with almost the same features in my past companies, but BerryCast absolutely stands out. I like how it's highly efficient when I want to record a video instantly. I appreciate how accessible my videos are in my BerryCast account on my desktop. On top of this, their customer support is top-notch! and that, for me, is really important, and a green flag that indicates how streamlined their communications are with customers. I really hope they continue to blow me away
CONSOne simple thing I would like improvement on about BerryCast is when I record the screen or share my screen with colleagues, we all can see the recording panel with the buttons and the time. I wish it won't show when I share my screen in meetings or watch the recordings.

Amazing features, intuitive UI/UX but slow loading, streaming, and download speed
I've been using Berrycast for slightly more than a year now and have been pretty satisfied. Features I found useful: -highlighted mouse cursor -webcam feature with screen recording adds a more personal touch -comment features -new annotation features -share link -download and upload video -white labeling
CONSHowever..... the slow loading, streaming, and download speed has been bugging me for a very long time. I'm based in Singapore where the Internet speed here is already one of the fastest in the world, but my clients and I still seem struggle with Berrycast's speed issues. This affects my team in the Philippines to a larger extent and lately, the issue seems to have worsened. My clients and team members do not have this issue when using Loom and other screen recording tools, so i hope the Berrycast team can make this a priority and look into this.
