How Awesome Screen Recorder & Screenshot Handles Advertisements

(As of February 17, 2024):

Current approach:

• Free version: While there's no official information on the website, user reviews and reports indicate the free version displays non-intrusive banner ads within the interface. These ads usually don't interfere with core functionality.
• Pro version: Paid subscription removes all advertisements, offering an ad-free experience.

Transparency and user concerns:

• There's a lack of transparency on the official website regarding ad practices. Users express concerns about the type of ads, data collection, and potential impact on performance.
• Some reviews mention occasional pop-up ads in the free version, which can be disruptive.

Alternatives and considerations:

• Similar tools with different ad models: Explore options like Nimbus Capture (in-app purchases), ShareX (open-source, no ads), Lightshot (freemium with limited ads), or Greenshot (open-source, no ads).
• Offline tools: Consider offline screen recorders like OBS Studio or CamStudio for complete ad-free recording and privacy control.

Conclusion:

• Awesome Screen Recorder & Screenshot appears to use non-intrusive banner ads in its free version and offers an ad-free experience in the Pro version.
• Lack of transparency on ad practices and concerns about pop-up ads raise questions.
• Explore alternatives with different ad models or opt for offline tools for complete ad-free recording.
