Lumiko vs Cursorfly

Cursorfly is a free and open-source screen recorder with automatic click-based zoom and fully local processing — closely aligned with Lumiko on the core recording experience. The two differ most in editing depth and privacy tooling.

Bottom line

Cursorfly is hard to beat on price — it is entirely free with no paywall, and already supports 4K recording and multiple aspect ratios. Lumiko is worth it if you specifically want Smart Blur, webcam overlay, and a full split/reorder timeline editor built in, and are fine paying a small one-time fee for watermark-free 4K exports.
