If you need basic screen-capture features, but don't want to spend money, the free Windows Snip & Sketch is a solid alternative that comes baked into every Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC.

In addition, TechSmith has a $274 bundle that includes Snagit and Camtasia, the company's education-focused screen-recording and video-editing software (if separately purchased, they'd cost you $298). Existing Snagit owners can upgrade to the 2022 version for $34.99, a price that includes a license for next year’s version. After the first year, Maintenance cost $12.60 per year to renew if you so choose.

It also gives you one year of the 'Maintenance' download, which adds several perks, including a guaranteed update to next year's version, priority phone support, and access to the Snagit Certification course that teaches you how to use the software. The base price grants you a two-device license. Priced at a relatively expensive $62.99, Snagit is available for macOS and Windows. Despite being significantly pricier than competitors such as Ashampoo Snap, Droplr, Screencast-O-Matic, and Windows Snip & Sketch, Snagit once again snags our Editors' Choice award for screen-capture utilities due to its flexibility, power, and ease of use. The app's previous updates added new tools, revamped existing features, and streamlined the interface, and Snagit 2022 polishes the experience even further. TechSmith's Snagit is the best software for the job. Presenters, journalists, bloggers, meme creators, forum posters, IT workers, and anyone else who works or plays online will eventually need to capture what's on their screens.
