The screenshot tool that grew an editor
Snagit does the same capture-and-annotate job with a fuller editor at $39 against CleanShot's one-time $29.
Screen recordings that zoom themselves
Screen Studio is the Mac tool for the recording half, adding automatic zooms for $29, where CleanShot centres on capture and annotation.
Screen capture and recording, open source
ShareX is free, open source screen capture and recording, the no-cost route when CleanShot's one-time $29 is not worth it to you.
Screen recordings that look designed, not captured
Tella keeps a free tier before its $13 plan, well under CleanShot's one-time $29, when recording is the whole job and screenshots do not matter.
Screen recordings that go out as a link
Loom is the recordings-as-a-link product CleanShot's optional cloud add-on competes with, free tier included and paid from $18.
Screenshots and screen recordings with links
Zight pairs screenshots and recordings with share links from $9.95 and a free tier, bundling the cloud sharing CleanShot sells as a separate subscription.
