Edit by Transcript
Auto-transcribe your recording, then delete words to cut video, far faster than scrubbing a timeline looking for mistakes.
Instant Cloud Sharing
Get a secure shareable link the moment you finish editing. No file uploads, no rendering wait.
Captions & Music
Auto-generate captions, adjust timing, burn them in. Add a background music track in seconds. OBS does neither.

The verdict: keep OBS for streaming, multi-source scenes and anything that needs a production switcher, and pick REQO when the job is record, edit, share and the setup time matters more than the control. OBS is genuinely free and open source, which REQO is not going to beat on price.
