In their own right
Shottr
Screenshots, scrolling capture, OCR, pixel measuring and quick annotation in one small native app that launches faster than anything else in the category. $12 covers up to five of your own Macs.
Xnapper
Takes a screenshot and immediately makes it presentable: balanced padding, a background, rounded corners, and automatic detection and blurring of emails, phone numbers and card numbers before you share it.
