Pricing questions
Before you buy.
How much does ZumCast cost?
Basic is free. Pro is a one-time purchase: $49, paid once, and that version is yours to keep. At launch the first 100 customers pay $9, the next 100 pay $19, then it's $49. There's no free trial of Pro; Basic is free for as long as you like, so you can record, edit and test exports before you buy.
What's in the free version?
Basic has unlimited recording and editing. Exports are limited: videos export the first half, up to 30 seconds, with a “Made with ZumCast” watermark and end card; GIFs up to 10 seconds with a watermark; screenshots with a small watermark; guides and demos the first 3 steps. Zumi makes 3 plans a day. Captions files, Export all and share links need Pro.
What are major upgrades?
Pro includes every update to the version you bought, including fixes and new features within it. When a new major version comes out, upgrading is optional at $9 a year. If you don't upgrade, the version you have keeps working, with everything you paid for.
Do you offer refunds?
Our refund policy will be published here and in the terms before Pro goes on sale.
Is ZumCast a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase and the app never needs a subscription. Teams that want a shared cloud workspace can add ZumCast Cloud for teams.
What if I need more storage for share links?
Pro includes 5 GB for share links, and each link lasts 90 days. If you need more, add 50 GB for a year with a one-time $9 top-up. It doesn't renew. Your recordings stay on your Mac either way; only share links use cloud storage.
