Whale vs. Scribe

Choosing the right tool for you

Looking for the best platform to document and centralize your processes, and use them to train your team? You’ve probably come across Whale and Scribe.

We’re comparing Whale versus Scribe to help you make the best choice.

Why do you need a Scribe Alternative?

Scribe is great step recording software but that’s pretty much all it does. The platform doesn’t allow you to centralize your processes and train your teams with them.

There are a few disadvantages to Scribe;
❌ It’s a pricey option
❌ It offers zero customizability according to your brand 🎨 unless on their Pro and Enterprise plans
❌ It has limited capability in creating lengthier, more technical processes
❌ It only Scribes, I.e., it doesn’t offer additional features like allowing you to train people on what’s been recorded

If you’re really going to get the value from a recording tool, you’ll need to consider how you turn those recordings into processes that can be used for onboarding and training and as a platform for growth.

What to look for in the right recording tool?

1

Can it create process documentation in seconds?

2

Does it act as a central wiki for the whole company?

3

Is it compatible with existing tools and software?

4

Does it have the ability to share the recorded processes with the team?

5

Does it offer customization and integration options?

6

Does the platform offer user support and training resources?
