It's tough to truly compare Tella vs Screen Studio because they are quite different—so different that we actually use both. We used Tella to film our Motion Course as it allowed us the flexibility to record our camera + screen and edit the video all within the tool. On the other hand, we use Screen Studio to show off software in most of our YouTube videos as it allows for beautiful zoom-ins.

Editor's VerdictBoth Tella and Screen Studio have their strengths.
Screen Studio is slightly more high-end for doing screen recordings as they allow for beautiful zoom in's (Tella's zoom feature is much more basic).
If you are doing a high-end tutorial that you want to invest a bit more time into, we'd recommend Screen Studio to make it feel a bit more premium. That said, while Screen Studio does "automatic zooms", they still require some manual effort to get just right so expect to spend a bit of time tinkering with it.
On the other hand, Tella is better if you care less specifically about having fancy zoom-ins on yourscreen recordings, and want to capture multiple elements (like yourself on camera, along with the screen recording, on a nice custom background).
