No description of Instance yet.
Most screenshot tools make you choose: pay once but get a Mac-only, screenshot-only app (Shottr, Xnapper), or get the full feature set but rent it forever (CleanShot X's cloud subscription, Monosnap). ScreenSnap Pro is the only one that's all-in-one, cross-platform, AND a one-time purchase. What...

As answered by people managing Instance and ScreenSnap Pro.
ScreenSnap Pro's answer:
ScreenSnap Pro is the only screenshot app that combines an all-in-one capture-to-share workflow, true cross-platform support, and a one-time price. You can capture any region, window, or screen; annotate with 15 tools; drop the result onto one of 160+ gradient backgrounds; record GIFs or video with a built-in editor; pull text out with on-device OCR; and share an instant private link — all in a single $29 purchase, with no subscription, working on both macOS and Windows from one license.
ScreenSnap Pro's answer:
Most screenshot tools force a trade-off: pay-once apps like Shottr and Xnapper are Mac-only and screenshot-only, while full-featured tools like CleanShot X charge a recurring subscription for cloud sharing, and Snagit costs $63. ScreenSnap Pro is the only option that's all-in-one (screenshots, annotation, backgrounds, GIF/video recording, OCR, and cloud sharing), cross-platform (one license covers a Mac and a Windows machine — up to 4 computers), and a one-time $29 purchase. No subscription, no watermarks, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
ScreenSnap Pro's answer:
ScreenSnap Pro is for people who share screenshots all day and want them to look professional without paying a subscription: indie developers and engineers (bug reports, documentation), designers and product teams, content creators and marketers, customer-support and QA teams, technical writers, and educators. It especially appeals to Mac and Windows users who are tired of subscription software and want one tool that handles capture, annotation, recording, and sharing.
ScreenSnap Pro's answer:
ScreenSnap Pro was built by Morgan, an independent developer, out of frustration that every good Mac screenshot tool pushed a monthly subscription for the cloud-sharing feature he used most — while the free tools left every screenshot looking flat. Morgan wanted one tool he could buy once and own forever that handled the whole workflow — capture, beautify, record, and share — across both Mac and Windows. ScreenSnap Pro is that tool: an indie, one-time-purchase alternative to subscription apps like CleanShot X and Snagit, now used by thousands and rated 4.8/5.
