Our take
Pick CleanShot X if mac makers who will pay Basic $35 once (1 year of updates, Cloud 1 GB) while they restore a first History capture — not Pro $10/user/mo first unless they need unlimited Cloud, custom domain, and team SSO, and not a Windows recorder (there isn’t one). Pick Gifski if mac makers who will stay on Gifski at $0 to convert one clip — not CleanShot X first unless they need a capture suite.
