Snagit retired its perpetual license in January 2025. An honest ranking of the exits (ShareX, Shottr, CleanShot X, Heretic Lazy Shot) by platform, price model, and what people really use.
Xnapper is Mac-only. The cross-platform answer is Heretic Lazy Shot's GPU compositor: 19 canvas presets, 2-to-5-stop gradients, a 46-image background catalog, per-preset memory, on macOS and Windows.

CleanShot X is Mac-only and staying that way. An honest audit of what replaces it on Windows and mixed fleets: one-time pricing, a compositor, OCR on Mac, redaction, and an MCP server for agents.
