The verdict

These tools do different jobs. Xnapper captures the screen and cleans the result up, including automatic text redaction. Screenshot Studio starts from an image you already have: it has no capture step and no automatic redaction, only a manual blur tool. Use your operating system capture shortcut first, then bring the file here for backgrounds, mockups, 3D, and animation.

Xnapper is a good native macOS capture tool if you want to pay for it. Screenshot Studio delivers the same beautified result for free in the browser, on any OS, and adds 3D, animation, and video export.
