InSnap vs Shottr
Shottr is one of the fastest ways to capture and annotate on a Mac. InSnap is for people who need the same workflow on Windows, or who want recording and guides next to their screenshots.
Shottr wins on speed and focus: launch, capture, annotate, done. InSnap keeps capture fast but adds the rest of the workflow, especially when the screenshot is the start of a bug report, a demo or a document.
