Shottr is a fast, Mac-native screenshot tool priced at $12 one-time. Monosnap adds screen recording and cross-platform support. ## Key differences ### Screen recording Monosnap includes screen recording in its free tier. Shottr is for screenshots only, so Monosnap is the better fit for video walkthroughs or bug reports. ### Developer tools Shottr includes pixel measurements, a color picker, and scrolling capture for developer and design workflows. Monosnap focuses instead on cloud upload and sharing. ### Performance Shottr is optimized for Apple Silicon and is described as noticeably faster. Monosnap works cross-platform and is not as deeply optimized for Mac hardware. ## Feature-by-feature comparison | Feature | Shottr | Monosnap | | --- | --- | --- | | Area capture | ✓ | ✓ | | Scrolling capture | ✓ | — | | Screen recording | — | ✓ | | Annotations | ✓ | ✓ | | Blur / redact | ✓ | ✓ | | OCR | ✓ | — | | Pixel measurements | ✓ | — | | Pin screenshot | ✓ | — | | Cloud upload | — | ✓ | | Cross-platform | — | ✓ | | Apple Silicon optimized | ✓ | — | | Free tier | — | ✓ | A check mark means the feature is included in the comparison; a dash means it is not included. ## Pricing ### Shottr - **$12** one-time price shown for Shottr. - Personal use is free, with upgrade reminders after 30 days. - A **$12 Basic license** is required for commercial use. - **Friends Club:** $30. ### Monosnap - **Free** tier. - **Pro:** $3.50/month for extra features. ## Code with AI assistants When we use Claude, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools, LazyScreenshots auto-pastes screenshots directly into the AI workflow.
