Choosing
Which one suits you.
CleanShot X may suit you better if
- You're on a Mac and want capture, recording and markup in one app
- You want hosted links with comments for a team
FyShot may suit you better if
- You already have screenshots and want them presented, not just captured
- You make store, social or Open Graph images at exact sizes
- You'd rather not install anything, or you switch between machines
Whatever you pick
Five questions to ask any screenshot tool.
01
Where does the screenshot go?
Edited on your machine, or uploaded — and kept for how long?
02
Is redaction burned in?
Or is the hidden part still in the file underneath?
03
Is there a badge on exports?
On the free plan, and on every format?
04
Which platforms?
Mac, Windows, the browser — and your phone?
05
Does it say what it can't do?
A tool that's plain about its edges is easier to trust with the rest.
