Screezi vs Competitors: Why Lifetime Access Beats Monthly Subscriptions

When choosing a guide creation tool, the pricing model can make or break your decision. Let's dive deep into how Screezi compares to the competition and why our lifetime access model is revolutionizing the industry.

The Problem with Subscription Models

Most guide creation tools lock you into monthly or yearly subscriptions that add up quickly:

Scribe Pricing Reality

  • Pro Team: $12/seat/month = $144/year per user
  • Pro Personal: $23/month = $276/year
  • Hidden Costs: Team plans require minimum seats

Zight's Escalating Costs

  • Pro Plan: $9/month = $108/year
  • Team Plan: $11/month per user
  • Enterprise: Custom pricing (often $20+ per user)

Screezi's Revolutionary Approach

One Payment. Lifetime Access. $129.

The Math is Simple

  • Year 1: Screezi pays for itself in 4-5 months
  • Year 2+: Pure savings while competitors keep charging
  • 5-Year Total: Save $500+ compared to Scribe, $400+ vs Zight
