ScreenFlowy Snap or Xnapper: which should you choose?

ScreenFlowy Snap and Xnapper both focus on styled screenshots: each adds a background, rounded corners and a shadow as you capture, finds and covers sensitive details automatically, and switches to social media sizes. The difference is price. Snap is completely free, with no in-app purchases; Xnapper is a free download, but removing its watermark takes a one-time purchase from $29.99, with a year of updates. Snap also adds scrolling capture, step numbers, a spotlight and a magnifier. If you want a free screenshot styling tool with more features, choose Snap; if you’ve already bought Xnapper, you can keep using it.

Xnapper is a free download, and the paid version removes the watermark: $29.99 for one Mac, $54.99 for two and $79.99 for three, each with a year of updates, and renewing updates after that comes at 40% off.

Features: Snap adds scrolling capture and tools for explaining

Both style screenshots, switch to social media sizes, find and redact sensitive details automatically, and recognise text. Snap can also take scrolling captures, turning a whole web page or a long chat into one tall image, and its markup tools include step numbers, a spotlight and a magnifier, which make tutorials easier. You can even save the whole look as a preset and apply it to the next screenshot in one click.
