I recently received an email from a reader seeking a comparison of Screencastify and Nimbus Screenshot. Back in March I published a comparison of both tools along with Capture Cast. Here’s a short recap of that comparison.

My preference is for Nimbus Screenshot because its free plan offers more of what I need than Screencastify’s free plan offers. Nimbus Screenshot’s free plan includes a countdown timer that displays before the recording starts, it records in higher resolution than Screencastify, and it doesn’t apply a watermark to my video.

Here’s a video that I made with Nimbus Screenshot on my Chromebook.
