There are many free or cheap screen capture applications available for both Mac and Windows. Many people ask, “Why should I use Clarify when there are so many free alternatives?”

Clarify isn’t an application that you use instead of free screen capture applications. It is an application you use in addition to free screen capture applications.

Here is a simple chart that highlights the differences between Clarify and two popular screen capture applications, Skitch and Jing.

So, why pay for Clarify?

Because Clarify gives you back the most valuable thing you have, time. By combining image capture, image editing, document authoring and sharing into a single, integrated application we help you communicate more clearly with less effort.
