What users say
Loom
"Cloud async video with a 1.3 average; cancel and record-fail comments dominate."
Pros
The desktop app makes it easy to capture videos to send to colleagues. Videos are easy to share
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
