Shottr is a great tool — but it doesn't exist on Windows, and it won't beautify your screenshots. Savvyshot works on both platforms and turns plain captures into presentation-ready visuals, instantly.
Already on Mac but need polished, shareable screenshots? Shottr captures. Savvyshot makes them shine.

Shottr is incredibly fast and lightweight, but it's limited to macOS and locks its best visual features behind a paywall. Savvyshot delivers a modern editing experience with visual enhancements and versatile features — available free from the start.
Shottr has no built-in beautifier. Savvyshot lets you add gradient backgrounds, device mockups, padding, and custom frames to any screenshot — no design tool needed. It's the feature Shottr users ask for most.
Shottr is macOS only. Savvyshot lets you keep the exact same screenshot workflow whether you're on a MacBook or a Windows PC — no compromises on either platform.
Savvyshot includes free updates for the lifetime of your purchase. Shottr may charge for major version upgrades. One payment with Savvyshot covers everything, forever.
Shottr is free and always has been. Savvyshot isn't trying to beat free — it's adding what Shottr doesn't have: a built-in beautifier, Windows support, and presentation-ready output. If those matter to you, the one-time cost pays for itself fast.
Free tier available · No account needed to download
Shottr is the right choice if you're on macOS, want zero cost, and care more about speed and pixel-level precision than visual presentation. It's excellent at what it does.
Shottr doesn't run on Windows. Savvyshot does — natively, with the same features as macOS. Download free and try it today.

If you work exclusively on macOS and prioritize raw speed with a minimal UI, Shottr remains a solid choice. But if you want cross-platform support, a full beautifier without paywalls, and free lifetime updates, Savvyshot clearly offers more value.
