What users say
Bandicam
"Windows recorder with the highest score here; audio dropouts keep it from a clean sweep."
Pros
Amazing. Best screen recorder on PC This software is really easy and intuitive to use. You can get high quality AVI video Especially love that you can use it for free within limits
CleanShot X
"Paid Mac swiss-army with recording and scrolling; Shottr stays the cheaper stills pick."
Pros
The scrolling capture plus built-in annotation tools save me from opening a separate editor every time, and the cloud upload with auto-copied link is genuinely fast If you want more of a swiss-army-knife tool (screen recording, OCR, self-timer included), CleanShot X is worth it I've been using CleanShot X for 3 yrs or so, and haven't looked back
