No sign-in
The app never asks you to sign in. You only give an email address when you buy a key.
Tested on both systems
Every release gets a full pass on a real Mac and a real PC before it ships.

Asked, and answered.
Is there a Snagit one-time purchase or lifetime license?
Snagit’s own store sells Snagit Individual by the year, billed yearly. VizShot is a separate app by a different developer, and it is a one-time purchase.
Is VizShot really a one-time purchase?
Yes. $8 once, with every update, for as long as you use it. One key covers two computers, in any mix of Mac and Windows.
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.
Does VizShot record the screen?
Yes. Part of the screen as an MP4, with the computer’s sound and your microphone, and one click to share it with a link.
Is there a free Snagit alternative?
VizShot is free to try for 14 days with every feature, and then $8 once. That is one payment, where Snagit Individual is $39 a year.
