What CleanShot X is
CleanShot X is a native macOS app (macOS 13 or later; there is no Windows version). It handles screenshots, screen recording, annotation, a Background Tool and CleanShot Cloud sharing. Its pricing page lists a $35 one-time Basic license with a year of updates, a Pro plan at $10 per user per month billed annually, and availability through Setapp. If you want an all-in-one Mac capture tool, it is a strong choice.

Why some people pick DevSnapKit instead
- Any platform. It is a web page, so Windows and Linux users can use it.
- Focused on presentation. Device frames (iPhone 17 Pro, MacBook Pro, Studio Display), 3D angles, gradients and social-size presets.
- Free, no watermark. Pro is a one-time $9.9 for 4K and batch export.
- No upload. Images are rendered in your browser tab and are not uploaded.
DevSnapKit does not capture, record or annotate with arrows — keep your capture tool for that and use DevSnapKit for the final image.
