For screen recording, Snagit can be great for individuals. But for teams, CloudApp has all the tools you need. Learn how CloudApp and Snagit downloads compare.
CloudApp and Snagit play in the same space but have quite different capabilities. Even with Snagit 13 and now Snagit 2018, CloudApp still outranks the competition as a snipping tool for mac in terms of storage capabilities, collaboration tools, overall features. Let’s take a look.
Everything these days operates in the cloud, especially when it comes to business enterprise operations and team collaboration. With both Snagit’s free and paid versions users must store all screen captured files and videos directly on their devices. This hogs precious memory and ultimately slows work down. Use CloudApp to take a screenshot on mac and those images are instantly saved to the cloud -- no upload or download required.
Again, memory and hardware space is compromised with Snagit, which requires at least a 65 MB application download. Learn how to screenshot on mac with CloudApp, which takes up half the space. Users also have the option to utilize a Chrome extension instead of a dedicated app.
Streamlined sharing and collaboration capabilities are priority for CloudApp. Snagit 13 and 2018 versions still lack cloud sharing and workflow app integrations (Slack, Trello, Asana to name a few) that make working in teams more efficient and cost effective.
Instead of paying $49.95 for Snagit, you can choose one of many free alternatives. Snagit is a simple tool for creating screenshots and editing them. While the free version is quite limited in function, CloudApp offers many of the same features and can be used for free.
Snagit released a beta version in 2009. It's currently on version 4 in its production lifecycle.
Here is a list of Snagit alternatives to evaluate: CloudApp, OBS, QuickTim, Apowersoft Screen Recorder, Monosnap, VL,. Snapz Pro and ActivePresenter.
OBS Studio is an open-source project that tops most lists of fully free screen capture software.
