Ola JohanssonI have been using ShareX for years but it's always been a pain to configure and so on. If you need LOADS of features and freedom to upload where you want and so on ShareX is great but really like the simplicity of Lightshot.
1artyhedgehogLightShot doesn't have screen record feature.
3Light, allow to directly upload on web and get the link, to share, or just copy, resize the zone... Customizable shortcut !

tytanickA little bit heavy but it has super cool features. Easy and fast screenshoting in mac. Instantly you can draw nice arrows and text. Also you can use smart feature that detects things like text box, text itself, images, bars, and it makes separate elements from those things and then it allows you to move them. So when you want to show your developer where should something go, then it is more easy to do so.

Comments about Flameshot as an Alternative to ShareX
In my experience, Flameshot has worked far quicker than ShareX. While ShareX does have more features, Flameshot works well as an alternative if you only require a good screenshot tool.
Can't record videos, no global shortcut. ShareX has a lot of great miscellaneous tools (like OCR, color detection). Doesn't automatically suggest a screenshot region based on windows.
Flameshot does have features in ShareX that streamline the process of taking a lot of screenshots (Hotkeys for different screenshot types, selecting a specific window, and automatically saving the screenshot to a file).
It is fine as a simple screenshot tool but does not compare to a more robust solution like ShareX, where speed is paramount.
