iorad

Overview

iorad is a workflow-capture and tutorial-building tool for teams that need to teach software processes. It suits learning and development, customer training, and IT or documentation teams especially well. Its range of tutorial formats and LMS connections is compelling, though desktop-captured tutorials have a sharing restriction and creator plans can be costly.

Captured workflows can become interactive tutorials, articles, videos, PDFs, or SCORM files. Learners can choose among Try It, View It, Watch It, Print It, Do It, and Quiz Mode, giving teams several ways to teach or reinforce the same process. The breadth is useful when one captured workflow must serve both guided practice and reference needs, rather than a single presentation format.

iorad also supports in-app guides, contextual prompts, adoption reporting, and audience segmentation. Help by iorad places tutorials inside Google Workspace apps and Salesforce, so users can consult guidance without leaving those applications. For category comparisons, see Product Adoption Software.

Key features

Capture across desktop, mobile, and browser workflows

The desktop capture tool supports Windows and Mac applications, plus workflows involving iOS and Android devices. The Chrome or Edge extension captures browser content. That combination gives documentation teams options for processes that cross desktop software, mobile devices, and the browser.

There is an important distribution trade-off: tutorials captured with the desktop tool cannot be shared in the extension or widget, except through the widget’s Web Library. Teams that rely on extension or widget delivery should account for this before choosing a capture workflow.

Learning delivery and integrations

The six learner modes let a team present a workflow as practice, observation, video, print, task completion, or a quiz. iorad also integrates with more than 50 learning management systems, including Workramp, Lessonly, Canvas, and Cornerstone. Those connections make it a natural fit when tutorials need to sit within an established learning program.

For organizations assessing controls, iorad states that its browser extension maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification and describes role-based access, audit logging, and encryption key management. Enterprise plans include a private Slack channel and prioritized support.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and includes unlimited tutorials, free public tutorials, and unlimited learners. It is a useful way to create and distribute public material, but the plan description does not include private tutorials, so it is not a substitute for a private knowledge library.

Individual costs 200.00 USD per month, billed $200 / month. It includes one creator and unlimited private tutorials, making it the direct fit for a solo author who needs private content. Compared with Free, its defining gain is privacy; it is a steep step up for a creator who only needs public tutorials.

Team costs 500.00 USD per month, billed $500 / month. One creator is included, and extra seats cost $50 / month each. The base plan is therefore a substantial commitment for a small team, while additional author seats add a clear per-seat cost.

Enterprise has custom pricing, is quoted as a custom quote, and starts at 20+ creators.

Platforms

iorad lists Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and browser-extension platforms. Its desktop capture support covers Windows and Mac applications, while Chrome and Edge extensions capture browser content. The product also supports mobile app workflows and mobile web use.

Who it's for

iorad is strongest for learning and development teams, customer trainers, and IT or documentation groups that need to turn software processes into reusable learning materials. The mix of tutorial formats, learner modes, and more than 50 LMS integrations is particularly useful when a workflow must serve different audiences or fit into formal training.

It is less compelling for a solo user who only needs public tutorials and cannot justify $200 per month for private ones, or for a team whose distribution depends on sharing desktop-captured tutorials through the extension or widget outside the Web Library.

Pros and cons

• Multiple outputs from captured workflows: tutorials can become interactive lessons, articles, videos, PDFs, or SCORM files, giving training teams more than one way to reuse a capture.
• Flexible learner experience: six modes accommodate practice, observation, video, print, task completion, and quizzes.
• Broad learning-system reach: integrations with more than 50 LMS platforms can help organizations fit tutorials into existing training environments.
• Desktop sharing caveat: desktop-captured tutorials cannot be shared in the extension or widget except through the Web Library, which constrains some delivery workflows.
• High private-authoring entry price: Individual is $200 per month for one creator, while Team starts at $500 per month with one creator included.

Alternatives

Consider Whatfix if you want a paid digital adoption platform with a free plan and a broader platform range that includes API and self-hosted options; its supplied plan information also ties its free analytics plan to a DAP Web & Desktop plan.

Pendo Analytics is worth considering when product analytics and in-app guides are priorities: its free plan includes 500 monthly active users, analytics, guides, and unlimited web and mobile app keys.

Stonly may suit teams looking for a guide-focused option; its Basic plan caps usage at 400 guide views per month, five published guides, one language, 100 steps per guide, and one team member.

Told offers a free plan for a narrower starting point: one source, one seat, one survey or product tour, 500 monthly views, two languages, and three months of data retention.

Wakeline is an option for teams that can work within a smaller free-flow allowance: its Free plan covers three flows, 1,000 monthly active users, one teammate, and community support.

Driver.js is the simpler free alternative when unlimited projects and personal or commercial use without required attribution matter more than the broader authoring and learning features described above.

StepBeam offers a free plan capped at 1,000 monthly active users, three team seats, and one application, with basic analytics and community support.

Candu may fit teams seeking overlays: its free plan includes overlays only, three live experiences, and unlimited user licenses.

Verdict

iorad is a strong choice for training and documentation teams that need to capture software workflows, repurpose them across learning formats, and connect them to an LMS. Its main advantage is that one workflow can support several learning modes and output types; its main reasons to look elsewhere are the desktop-capture sharing exception and the high cost of private creator plans.
