The Bottom Line
Dubble and Glitter AI both aim to automate process documentation, though they take pretty different approaches. The real differences emerge when you look at what each can actually capture, which platforms they support, and how capable the AI really is.
Dubble got its start as a Chrome extension, and it still feels that way. It tracks your browser clicks and grabs screenshots to piece together step-by-step guides. There’s a Mac desktop app floating around in beta, but if you’re on Windows, you’re out of luck since no native app exists. Pricing kicks off at $18/month (annual billing) with a 3-seat minimum, meaning you can’t just buy a single license. That works fine for small teams, but solo users end up paying for seats nobody uses.
Glitter AI takes things considerably further. It records your voice and actions whether you’re working in a browser, a desktop application, or on your phone. Voice narration, hover explanations, complete video recordings. All of it gets captured. The AI then transforms that raw footage into polished guides you can publish in 99 languages.
The core difference? Dubble sticks to browsers and typically requires manual cleanup. Glitter works pretty much everywhere and delivers finished documentation without the extra work.
Platform Overview
Both platforms help you document processes, but they take fundamentally different approaches.
With Glitter AI, you get publish-ready SOPs right away.
Just record yourself working naturally. The AI picks up the full context of what you say and do, then builds complete guides from that.
Already have videos? Glitter can convert existing recordings into guides too. Works on web, desktop, or mobile, even on the free plan.
Enterprises get transparent pricing with standard contracts. Often 5x cheaper than other options.
Dubble handles basic browser-based documentation reasonably well.
It's mainly a Chrome extension that captures clicks and screenshots to create simple guides. You're limited to browser tasks though. There's a Mac desktop app in beta, but no Windows desktop app exists.
Desktop app recording and mobile capture? Severely limited. No multi-language support, no video-to-guide conversion, and users report reliability issues with recordings occasionally failing to save.
Enterprises can get a custom-priced plan with SSO and admin features. The platform is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant, but not HIPAA compliant.

Core Features
See how Glitter AI and Dubble compare on core features for creating and publishing guides.
What platforms are supported?
Web, desktop, and mobile on every plan.
Glitter runs across browser extensions, desktop apps (both Mac and Windows), and mobile devices. Capture any process, anywhere you happen to be working. Even the free plan gives you access to all of this.
Browser only (Chrome extension).
Dubble is primarily a Chrome extension, which means you're limited to browser-based tasks. They do have a Mac desktop app in beta, but no Windows desktop app exists. One reviewer summed it up: "Limited Recording Environments... unsuitable for documenting desktop software, mobile apps, or workflows in other browsers."
How does guide capture work?
Just work naturally.
Everything you say and do gets captured and transformed into a publish-ready SOP within seconds. Screenshots, hover explanations, voice narration. It all comes together automatically.
Automatic but limited.
Dubble captures your clicks and screenshots while you work, though it misses more complex actions. Some users have reported reliability problems, with the extension occasionally failing to record or save guides, which means lost work. One Chrome Web Store reviewer noted: "Extension recorded nothing." For complicated workflows, expect to do some manual fixes.
What exactly is captured?
Everything you say and do!
Beyond screenshots, mouse clicks, and typing, Glitter also picks up: what you explain while hovering over things (this happens more often than you might realize), what you say out loud, and the original video of your entire workflow.
Only mouse clicks and screenshots.
Hover over something to explain it? Not captured. Dubble does record video, but it lives separately from the guide creation process rather than being integrated.
What is the output?
Written guide (SOP) and original video recording (optional)
One recording gives you both formats. Some folks prefer reading, others want to watch video. Either way, you're covered.
Written guide (SOP) or video, but not both.
Dubble produces either guides or videos, not both from a single recording. You have to decide on the format when you start.
Does it do speech-to-text? (talk to create a guide)
Yes. Just talk, and it works in 99 languages.
The AI transcription is reliable. Speak naturally and it turns your explanation into structured steps. Works in 99 languages on all plans.
No speech-to-text.
Dubble doesn't offer speech-to-text or voice-powered documentation. You're stuck relying on click capture and typing everything out manually.
Can I create guides from videos?
Yes! Drop in any video and get a guide.
Upload a video and you'll receive a fully structured, step-by-step guide. Works with screen recordings, meeting recordings, even live footage.
No. Not supported.
This feature simply doesn't exist. You're required to use Dubble's recorder. Got existing videos? Can't convert them.

Editing & Collaboration
How easy is editing?
AI handles most of the work.
Glitter's AI produces content that's typically ready to publish as-is. Smart screenshot selection, auto-generated descriptions, one-click improvements. You won't find yourself spending much time on edits.
Quick editing tools.
Dubble offers fast editing features. Edit descriptions, add markup, redact sensitive info, swap out screenshots. Honestly, this is one area where Dubble does well.
Can I redact sensitive information?
Yes. Both on-device and cloud-based options.
Glitter provides on-device blur and cloud-based redaction. Either approach keeps sensitive information protected in your guides and videos.
Yes. On-device blur and editing.
Dubble includes blur and redaction features. You can protect sensitive data before sharing your guides.
What collaboration features are available?
Full team collaboration with workspaces.
Teams work together in shared workspaces. Role-based permissions, commenting, version history, straightforward sharing.
Basic team features.
Dubble allows you to invite team members with different roles (Viewer, Creator, Editor, Admin). Beyond that, the collaboration features are fairly limited.
Security & Compliance
Is it SOC 2 compliant?
Yes, SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Glitter AI is SOC 2 Type II compliant. This means we meet strict security standards for data protection and privacy.
You can check out our trust center for the details.
Yes, SOC 2 Type II compliant.
Dubble (via Paperform) is SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant. That said, they are not HIPAA compliant currently, which may be a dealbreaker for healthcare organizations.
Does it ever use my data for AI training?
No. Never.
Your data is yours. We've never used customer content to train AI models, and we never will. No third parties either. This commitment applies to every customer.
More on our AI security and privacy practices.
No, they don't use your data for training.
Dubble (via Paperform) states that personal data is never used to train or improve their underlying AI systems. They use OpenAI APIs but have opted out of data training to meet enterprise/business data privacy standards.
What about API access?
API available.
Glitter provides API access when you need custom integrations or workflow automation.
No API.
Dubble doesn't provide API access, which limits your options for custom integrations.
Integrations & Export
What integrations are supported?
Lots of integrations.
Embed in Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, and more. You can also embed guides anywhere with rich content support and markdown export.
Basic integrations.
Dubble works with Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, and Trainual. Copy-paste your guides wherever your knowledge base lives.
Can I export in multiple formats?
Yes. Several formats.
Export as PDF, HTML, Markdown, and more. Embed guides with your own branding.
Rich content and markdown.
Dubble supports rich content export and markdown, giving you reasonable flexibility across platforms.

“Glitter is really cool! The step-by-step guide it created was exactly what we needed for our corporate Salesforce setup, which was a literal mess. Just having a video isn't great because it's a nightmare to update all the fields for billing. This tool is saving us so much time!”

“This is amazing! I just used the desktop app to make a quick guide for a Photoshop tool that I can use in my class. It would have taken me at least 30 minutes before and I just did it in about 5 minutes. Thanks for such a great tool!”
