ScreenFeel vs Brave Leo

Leo is private and reads the page you are on. It cannot capture a region, an element, or a window outside the browser — and there is nothing to keep afterwards.

Brave Leo: The AI assistant built into the Brave browser, proxied so the provider never sees your IP. Paid from $14.99 a month — advertised around $150/year across five devices. Free tier: Yes. Researched in August 2026.

	ScreenFeel	Brave Leo
Can it see your screen?	Yes — a region of any display, any window on your desktop, or the whole screen, in any application.	It can summarise the current page's text. It cannot capture pixels — no region, element, full-page image or desktop window.
Where do captures live?	On your device, in the app's own local database. There is no server-side gallery to breach, because none was built.	Conversations are not retained by the provider; requests are proxied.
What does the AI provider keep?	Nothing. Lenses run on open-weight models under zero data retention, and a build check fails if a configured model is not marked private.	Strong: IP stripped, no training on your conversations.
Annotate and redact before sharing?	Eleven-tool editor. Redaction is flattened into the exported pixels, not a removable overlay.	Not applicable — no capture workflow.
Searchable history of what you captured?	Yes — full-text search across titles, tags and text read out of the images, all local.	None.
Tools for live screen sharing?	Cursor glow, spotlight boxes and arrows drawn locally over any app, plus a warning when an open window's title looks like it would expose something.	None.
Where it runs	Windows 10 and 11, as a desktop app — beside whichever browser you like.	The Brave browser.
Price	€9.99/mo, or a free tier that runs every lens.	$14.99/mo as researched in August 2026.

When Brave Leo is the better choice

If you already use Brave and mostly want page summaries and private chat, Leo is built in, costs nothing extra to try, and needs no separate install at all.

Try it without deciding

Capture, editing, redaction, the library and the presenter tools work with no account at all, and the free plan runs every lens. Nothing here needs a card.
