    The OCR functionality is very useful and the annotation and markup tools are plentiful and easy to use; very small learning curve for a powerful tool.

    Doesn't come near the ease and functionalities of what Snagit has. On the plus side, it is free.

    Greenshot does not even come near Snagit. Very low usability. NOT intuive and the tools are on such a low level-I can`t even describe.

    If you're looking to make "8x10 glossy photograph with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each", it can't be beat. Lightweight, does its job, gets out of the way quick.

    Snagit stores the screenshots in their "native" format in its own gallery: the image and the annotations/editions (texts, arrows…). It is very handy when your workflow is to edit the modifications after the fact (ex: correcting the text). Flameshot only allows you to annotate the screenshot just after you took it, once it is exported to a standard image (JPG, PNG…) you cannot edit it any more. Also, Snagit allows to record screencasts. Flameshot feels really light and is free software.

    Flameshot is not an option until the project owner corrects the kde-frameworks dependency. https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3119

    It is not as powerful as snagit, but the most common features it has - for me a perfect fit.
