Scribe vs Glitter AI
Updated by Yuval Karmi, founder of Glitter AI
Glitter AI is the better Scribe alternative if you make SOPs for 20+ people, because viewers are free. It also turns any recording into an SOP, even footage of a physical task, with video and AI Voiceover.
Scribe makes click-based guides, bills every member, and cannot import recordings. It is cheaper only if fewer than 20 team members need to view your SOPs.
What can Glitter AI do that Scribe can't?
Scribe captures clicks. Glitter AI captures the whole process.
Glitter AI is SOP software that turns any recording into an SOP, even footage of a physical task. You can record with Glitter AI, or upload a file. It outputs a written SOP, a video with AI Voiceover and a transcript.
Scribe (scribehow.com) records clicks in your browser or, on paid plans, in desktop apps, and turns them into screenshot guides. It cannot import a video you already have.

- What is Scribe, and what does Scribe AI do?
- Scribe (scribehow.com) is process documentation software. Its Chrome extension or desktop app records your clicks and turns them into a step-by-step guide with screenshots. Scribe AI assembles those guides into longer documents. Scribe works from live clicks only, so it keeps no video and cannot start from a recording. Glitter AI is SOP software that does the same job from a screen recording, your voice, or footage of a physical task. It also gives you a video and a transcript.
- Does Scribe support voice recording?
- Yes, on Pro and Enterprise. You turn on voice transcription in the extension or desktop app and speak as you click, in English and five other languages. Your words are attached to the matching steps as text. Glitter AI listens to the whole recording in context, the way a new hire would. It writes the SOP from what you did and said. It also keeps the video and a clean transcript.
- Can Scribe turn a video into an SOP?
- No. Scribe captures clicks live while you work. It cannot import a Zoom recording, a screen recording or footage of a physical task. Glitter AI can: upload any recording and it writes the SOP, keeps the video, and adds a transcript.
- Does Scribe have a desktop app?
- Scribe's desktop app comes only with paid plans, and it is one more install for IT to approve. The free Basic plan is browser only, through the Chrome or Edge extension. Glitter AI needs no extension or desktop app: you record any app from the browser, with nothing to install.
- What is the best Scribe alternative?
- Glitter AI. Record your screen or film a physical task, and talk as you go. It writes the SOP with smart-captioned screenshots, a video and a clean transcript. It also imports PDF and Word docs. It can add AI Voiceover, an AI Avatar (a video of a person presenting your SOP) and 99 languages. Everyone gets a chat that answers questions from your SOPs and points to the exact step. Viewers are free, so you pay only for the 3 people who make SOPs: $249 a month.
- Is there a cheaper alternative to Scribe?
- For 20 people or more, Glitter AI is cheaper, because viewers are free. 50 people cost $249 a month on Glitter AI. On Scribe Pro Team they cost $650, because every one of them is a paid seat. Glitter AI also turns any recording into an SOP. For fewer than 20 people who all need seats, Scribe is cheaper.
- Is there a free alternative to Scribe?
- For one person on public links, Scribe's own Basic plan is free, and so are Tango's and MagicHow's starter plans. Glitter AI is free for your first 3 SOPs, with all features unlocked. After that it is $249 a month for a team, with unlimited free viewers.
- Is Scribe worth $13 a user?
- For one person, or a small team where everyone makes guides, yes. For a team where most people only read SOPs, every reader is still a $13 seat. 50 people cost $650 a month. Scribe's pricing is built for big companies: a cheap start for one team, and an Enterprise quote for the rest. Glitter AI charges $249 for the same 50 people, and it also turns video into SOPs. From 20 people up, Glitter AI is the better value.
- Is Glitter AI an AI SOP generator?
- Yes. Glitter AI is an AI SOP generator and process documentation tool. Record your screen as you talk, or upload a recording you already have. Glitter AI writes the steps from what you did and said, and keeps the video and a transcript. Scribe works from live clicks, not from a recording.
- Is Scribe better than ChatGPT for SOPs?
- They do different jobs. ChatGPT drafts text from a prompt or a screenshot you upload. It does not record your work. Scribe turns your clicks into screenshots. Glitter AI does both: it watches your recording, hears you, and writes the SOP with screenshots.
- Is Tango better than Scribe?
- They are close. Both capture your clicks and turn them into screenshot guides. Neither one turns a video you already have into an SOP. Glitter AI does, with unlimited free viewers.
- Is Scribe HIPAA compliant?
- Scribe is SOC 2 Type II. Its HIPAA controls, auto-redaction of PHI and a BAA, are Enterprise only, sold by quote. A small clinic cannot buy them off the shelf. Glitter AI is SOC 2 Type II and signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as an add-on on any plan.
