very heavy since a month liked it for awhile, but it uses sooo much more ram and gives me more spike drops than any other clipping program. when medal is fully quit my pc felt like it was brand new and i didnt even use full recording.

Good free software, but even better support! Had some sort of (probably) UI bug which hindered me to both post and re-edit an already edited video. Took it up with support on their Discord server. It was all handled with the best customer service I've ever recieved and it was also fixed within the next update. Outside of the support the app is incredible for being free. Sure, it's not a full on editing software but it does do a lot of it for literally zero money spent.

Best out-of-the-box clipping software Medal is the best out of the box clipping software right now on PC. Push a button, clip a game, share to the community. You can even go deeper by editing the clip or applying a built in effect or even upload your own.

Worse and more expensive version of Nvidia shadowplay Frequent policy/terms changes, limit your videos to very low quality and tiny file size (only 2 minutes per clip unless you purchase premium). Used it for years. It's literally just Nvidia Shadow play but you actually have to install it, pay for it, and it's less consistent and has lower recording quality. Also has a tendency to corrupt your videos and make you lose dozens of clips.

Solid since the very beginning I began my competitive gaming career back in 2018, right around the time Medal.tv grew in popularity. I was excited to try out the service after hearing about its social features and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. At one point, my life consisted of smashing bots, hitting F8, and reliably sharing my clips to gamers around the world. Hundreds of late night gaming hours and thousands of prolific clips later, Medal is still the first download on every fresh reinstall of Windows.
