Snapok vs Xnapper

Xnapper makes screenshots look good with almost no effort: it centers the capture, picks a background, and redacts sensitive data. Exports carry a watermark until you buy a license from $29.99. Snapok frames and redacts too, without a watermark, and adds scrolling capture, element snapping, and a searchable library.
