Droplr vs Camtasia Snagit

Droplr

Droplr

• The pricing page lists no free plan; the help center describes a free trial that lasts 3 days.
• Pro Plus and Team include 100 GB of storage and 500 GB of bandwidth a month; only Enterprise is unlimited.
• SSO, viewer analytics and AI auto-redaction are Enterprise only, and Enterprise is aimed at teams of 16 or more.
• Downloads are listed for Mac, Windows, Chrome and Edge; the apps page offers no mobile or Linux app.

Camtasia Snagit

• There is no free plan: after the 15-day trial it needs a yearly subscription, and TechSmith does not offer monthly billing.
• Individual subscriptions cannot be transferred; teams that need reassignable seats buy the Business license, priced per user per year.
• Available for Windows and macOS, and some features are tied to one of them, such as time-lapse and printer capture on Windows.
• Video tools stop at trimming and combining clips; TechSmith points people who need fuller editing to Camtasia Editor.

Screen recorder

Records the full screen or a selected area, with an optional webcam, as HD video or a GIF. Recording length is unlimited on every plan and videos can be trimmed.

Automatic cloud links

Each capture is saved to your Droplr cloud account and its link is copied to the clipboard. Captures can be downloaded as PNG, WebM or MPEG-4.

File uploads and link shortener

Drag and drop any file of up to 10 GB to share it as a link, and shorten other URLs. Analytics for the URL shortener are limited to Enterprise.
