The Elgato is the size of an iPhone so it's better in size. It also comes with its own recording software to livestream, do live commentaries, and it records in 720p and 1080p. The Elgato is very easy to hook up, all you need are 3 wires (2 HDMI and 1 power cable). The software lets you go back and record previous things you have done when you forgot to press the record button. So, I prefer the Elgato over any capture card to date.
