Snapdown is a $12 one-time license, which is cheap, but its limits narrow who can use it. It runs only on macOS 14 or newer with Apple silicon (M1 or later), with no Intel, Windows or mobile version. Free use stops after 10 captures, results can vary with image quality and complex layouts so tables and code need proofreading, and one license covers one person and up to two Macs.
Our catalog lists two alternatives, and both work differently. Notion AI is a workspace with AI built in; Plus is $12 per member per month ($10 billed yearly) and AI is shown as a limited trial on that row, so it is a subscription rather than a one-time payment. Otter.ai records and transcribes meetings on Zoom, Teams and Google Meet; Pro is $16.99 per user per month ($8.49 per month billed annually). Both have a free tier. Neither is described as converting screen captures into Markdown.
