Each score is shown as an average. | Tool | Average | Community summary | Full review | |---|---:|---|---| | CleanShot X | 7.2 | Premium feature powerhouse. Reddit loves the polish and features but pushes back on subscription pricing for updates. | [Read full review](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/reddit/cleanshot/) | | Shottr | 8.0 | Reddit's favorite free tool.

No annotations, scrolling capture, or OCR. | [Read full review](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/reddit/macos/) | | Skitch | 7.0 | Beloved classic that Evernote let wither. Simple annotations, but effectively abandoned and tied to Evernote. | [Read full review](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/reddit/skitch/) | | Lightshot | 7.2 | Simple and free with instant sharing. Its public screenshot gallery raises privacy concerns, and ads appear. | [Read full review](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/reddit/lightshot/) | | ShareX | 7.0 | Free, open-source, and feature-complete for power users. Windows-only with a steep learning curve. | [Read full review](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/reddit/sharex/) | | Gyazo | 6.2 | Fast capture-to-link workflow, but its freemium model and cloud lock-in frustrate Reddit users. | [Read full review](https://www.lazyscreenshots.com/reddit/gyazo/) | ## Built by people who read all these threads We built LazyScreenshots after spending hours in Reddit threads watching developers struggle with screenshot workflows.
