Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. CaptureFlow is open source under the AGPL, and the whole backend runs on Cloudflare: Workers for the app and API, R2 for recordings, and D1 for everything else. Create a D1 database and an R2 bucket, apply the migrations, set one secret, and deploy. There's also a Deploy to Cloudflare button. The guide is at docs.captureflow.dev.

Because video gets expensive in the wrong places. Most clouds charge every time someone watches a file, and Cloudflare R2 doesn't, so a recording watched a hundred times costs no more than one watched once. That's what lets us charge for storage instead of per person.

It also makes self-hosting cheap. Cloudflare's free tiers cover the app, the database, and the first 10 GB of storage, so a small team can run CaptureFlow for nothing. R2 does ask for a card on file.

Because storage is what actually costs us money, not the number of people watching. With per-seat pricing, every teammate you add raises the bill, so teams end up rationing who gets an account.

With CaptureFlow, your whole team shares one plan. Invite as many people as you like, and you only pay more when you need more space.

On paid plans, until you delete them. On the free plan, a recording is removed after 30 days without a view, so idle accounts don't hold on to space. If you self-host, you set the rules.

It's CaptureFlow run by us, for teams that don't want to set up Cloudflare themselves. You get the same open-source app, and we take care of the hosting, storage, and updates. Sign up, install the Chrome extension, and start recording.

You can start free with 200 MB, where recordings are removed after 30 days without a view. When you need more room, paid plans give you 100 GB, 500 GB, or 1 TB, keep your recordings until you delete them, and cover your whole team with no per-seat fees.
