ScreenFeel vs Microsoft Copilot Vision

Copilot Vision is free and backed by Microsoft, which makes it the honest benchmark. What it does not offer is a capture you own, an editor, or a retention promise.

Microsoft Copilot Vision: Microsoft's screen-aware assistant, free in Edge and Windows 11. There is no paid tier. Free tier: Free. Researched in August 2026.

	ScreenFeel	Microsoft Copilot Vision
Can it see your screen?	Yes — a region of any display, any window on your desktop, or the whole screen, in any application.	Yes, within its supported surfaces; the Edge flavour was limited to a small set of sites at the time of research.
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.	Cloud-resident, inside the Microsoft account.
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.	Governed by Microsoft's general terms, not a zero-retention promise.
Annotate and redact before sharing?	Eleven-tool editor. Redaction is flattened into the exported pixels, not a removable overlay.	No annotation or redaction editor.
Searchable history of what you captured?	Yes — full-text search across titles, tags and text read out of the images, all local.	No local capture library.
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.
Price	€9.99/mo, or a free tier that runs every lens.	Free.

When Microsoft Copilot Vision is the better choice

If cost is the deciding factor and you are already in Edge or Windows 11, it is free and it is right there. ScreenFeel has to earn its place against free — which is why the capture library, the editor and the retention promise matter, not the fact that an AI can see a screen.

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.
