What Record it! offers

Record it! :: Screen Recorder is published by DIGISET LLC. Its App Store listing describes single-tap full-screen recording for games, app demos, tutorials and training videos, with a Live Activity in the Dynamic Island while you record.

Face cam works two ways on its listing: a live camera overlay while recording on supported iPad models, or a face-cam reaction added after recording. You can change the shape, position and size. Audio-only commentary can be recorded over a video.

Its editor trims, rotates, changes playback speed, applies filters and changes the canvas and background color. The listing says sharing is limited to 10-minute videos, and that Record it! Pro, an $8.99 in-app purchase, removes that limit for longer recordings.

The listing requires iOS 17 or later on iPhone and iPad. Its latest version is 5.1, dated October 2. It does not mention live streaming, and it does not say whether free recordings carry a watermark.

About this comparison

EveryCord is made by Symaro, LLC, so this comparison is not independent. Each fact about Record it! is what its own App Store listing said on October 21, 2026. Where the listing is silent, for example on watermarks and live streaming, this post says so rather than guessing.

Both apps use Apple's screen recording under the hood. The difference is what happens around the recording: Record it! centers on reactions and a Pro purchase, while EveryCord adds live streaming, co-hosts, captions and chat at no cost.
