Comparison

Current purchase and cloud plans
On October 12, 2026, CleanShot lists Basic at USD 35 once, including one year of updates and 1 GB of cloud storage. Pro is USD 10 per user per month billed annually. The page lists macOS 13 or newer. Taxes may apply.
Captorify’s free capture and public image tools can be used without buying the paid editor or cloud plans. Compare the complete workflow you need rather than only the entry price.
Capture desktop apps and recordings
CleanShot documents scrolling capture in desktop applications, screen recording, annotations, backgrounds and local OCR. Those are relevant advantages when the task extends beyond a browser webpage.
Captorify does not replace a desktop recording application. A screenshot tool is a good fit when the still image itself is the deliverable.
Compare the final redacted file
CleanShot documents randomized pixelation and secure or smooth blur options. Check the selected mode and review its exported result before sharing sensitive details.
Captorify’s free public redactor explicitly replaces selected regions with opaque pixels in a new PNG. Whichever workflow you choose, reopen the export and review every sensitive region.
Try the same real task before changing tools
Use the example dashboard to compare readable output, annotations, text transcription and export handling. Use the long test page if scrolling capture is the main reason to switch.
Use the same source image and record the app version and export settings. Keep original files and editable projects when switching tools.
