Questions

Asked, and answered.

Is there a PicPick for Mac?

No. PicPick’s own site says it is available on Windows, and every download it offers is for Windows. VizShot is a separate app by a different developer.

Is PicPick free?

For personal use, yes. Its site says work use needs a Pro licence, $30 a year on the day we read it. VizShot is $8 once, for any use.

Can I keep PicPick on my PC and use VizShot on my Mac?

Yes. They are separate apps. One VizShot key also covers your PC, if you want the same tool on both.

Does VizShot record the screen?

Yes. Part of the screen as an MP4, with the computer’s sound and your microphone.

What happens after the 14 days?

You get 14 days with every feature. After that, VizShot keeps taking screenshots, but saving, uploading and recording need a key.
