Camtasia (TechSmith) plans & pricing
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Billing | Notes | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter STALE · 2026-09-28 | not priced monthly | — | Per user / seat | Annual-only subscription — TechSmith publishes no month-to-month price for any Camtasia tier, so no monthly price is recorded, by definition. The store served us 39,56 EUR per year billed yearly; no USD figure was rendered to our request, so none is claimed and the euro amount is not converted. Includes the Editor, Snagit, AI image and redaction features, and unlimited 4K/60fps recording. The catch: paying for Starter does NOT remove the export watermark — TechSmith's own FAQ states watermark removal requires Essentials, Create or Pro, so Starter buyers still ship stamped video. | techsmith.com |
| Essentials STALE · 2026-09-28 | not priced monthly | — | Per user / seat | Annual-only subscription; no month-to-month price exists, so no monthly price is recorded. TechSmith's support site states Essentials is 'as low as $179/user per year' — priced per user, and the 'as low as' hedge means volume or promotional pricing may sit under a higher list rate, so treat $179 as a floor rather than a rate card. The same tier rendered as 182,49 EUR per year on the store served to us. This is the first tier that removes the export watermark, and it adds Audiate, text-based editing, speech-to-text and studio-quality audio effects over Starter. | techsmith.com |
| Create STALE · 2026-09-28 | not priced monthly | — | Per user / seat | Annual-only subscription, priced per user, so no monthly price is recorded. The store rendered 252,62 EUR per year billed yearly to our request and no USD equivalent was displayed, so no dollar figure is asserted. Adds AI script generation and improvement, 200+ voiceover options with multi-language support, and voiceover customization over Essentials. | techsmith.com |
| Pro STALE · 2026-09-28 | not priced monthly | — | Per user / seat | Annual-only subscription; no month-to-month price, so no monthly price is recorded. TechSmith's support site states Pro is $599/user per year. The same tier rendered as 607,71 EUR per year on the store served to us. Adds 49 avatar styles, image generation, 100 million+ premium royalty-free stock assets and unlimited Screencast video sharing. Subscriptions are described as non-transferable between individuals, so seats cannot be handed to a replacement employee. | techsmith.com |
Last verified 2026-09-28. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. techsmith.com/store/camtasia was re-fetched on 2026-09-10 and again geo-served euro prices with no USD figures, confirming all four euro amounts exactly as an earlier version of this record recorded them (39,56 / 182,49 / 252,62 / 607,71 EUR, all billed yearly, no monthly option anywhere). USD annual rates for Essentials ($179/user/yr, 'as low as') and Pro ($599/user/yr) were re-confirmed from TechSmith's own support article. No USD figure is asserted for Starter or Create because none was rendered to us and converting EUR would be fabrication. Correction applied on this read: an earlier version of this record asserted a free tier without a supporting source and conflated the free editor with the paid Starter tier. techsmith.com/camtasia was fetched to settle it and does state the full Camtasia Editor is free to download and use with watermarked exports — so the free tier stands, but that URL is now in sources and the free editor is distinguished from the 39,56 EUR/yr Starter subscription. That same FAQ also establishes that Starter is still watermarked.

Plan limits: Billing is annual only — TechSmith publishes no month-to-month rate for any tier; Priced per user and described as non-transferable between individuals; The free Camtasia Editor watermarks exports, and so does the paid Starter tier — watermark removal starts at Essentials; USD pricing was not rendered to our fetch (store geo-served EUR); only Essentials and Pro USD rates are documented, via TechSmith support; Essentials' $179/user/yr is an 'as low as' floor, not a firm list price; AI avatars, translation and dubbing are gated to the top Pro tier.

This standing as a plaque
Camtasia (TechSmith) currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 8 of 13 · Video Editing. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Camtasia (TechSmith) moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
