STOA Verdict	Camtasia is best for small businesses that need to create training videos, product demos, or tutorials without hiring a video editor. The screen recording and editing combo in one tool saves you real time, but at around $300 per year it's a bigger commitment than some alternatives — make sure you'll use it regularly before buying.
