Three reasons developers and creators choose Screenix
Screen Studio only runs on macOS. Screenix is built specifically for Ubuntu and Linux distributions, with full X11 and Wayland support.
Screen Studio costs $29/month. Screenix is just $4.99/month — same professional features at a fraction of the cost. Even yearly, you save 73% ($108 vs $29).
We understand Linux workflows. Simple .deb package installation, command-line options, and integration with your existing tools.
No, Screen Studio is only available for macOS. If you need professional screen recording with automatic zoom effects on Linux, Screenix is the best alternative — built specifically for Ubuntu with X11 and Wayland support.
Yes. Screenix offers automatic smooth zoom and pan effects that follow your cursor, just like Screen Studio. The key difference is that Screenix runs natively on Linux and costs significantly less.
Screen Studio costs $29/month or $108/year ($9/mo). Screenix is $4.99/month or $29/year — an 83% monthly savings or 73% yearly savings. We also offer a lifetime license for $79, which Screen Studio does not provide.
Both offer free trials, but Screenix lets you fully export videos during the 7-day trial. Screen Studio's trial doesn't allow exports — you need to purchase to save your recordings.
