// why choose Procshot
No Platform Lock-In
Procshot is a standalone Chrome extension that works for any browser workflow — regardless of which project management tool your team uses. ClickUp Clips runs inside a ClickUp workspace and requires a ClickUp account.
Text Guides Are Searchable and Skimmable
Procshot's output is structured text with screenshots — you can search a guide for a specific step, copy a step's text, or share a single screenshot. ClickUp Clips records video; with ClickUp AI enabled, Clips are transcribed and the transcript can be searched.
Standalone — No Platform Subscription
Procshot has a genuinely standalone free plan — new captures pause only while you have 5 guides from the current month. ClickUp Clips requires a ClickUp account; the Free and Unlimited plans include 10 Clips uses, and Business and above are unlimited.
Portable Exports for Any Team
Markdown and HTML exports (and PDF with Pro) work in any tool: Notion, Confluence, Slack, email, Git repositories. ClickUp Clips are stored in ClickUp and aren't easily portable to teams using different platforms.
Privacy by Default
Procshot stores your guides, screenshots, and step content in your browser and does not upload them. It does send anonymous usage statistics and error reports, and checks your license through ExtensionPay. ClickUp stores Clips in their cloud, subject to their data retention and privacy policies.
// why choose ClickUp Clips
Native ClickUp Task Integration
Clips attach directly to ClickUp tasks, making it frictionless to add a 'watch me do this' recording to a task comment or subtask. For ClickUp-native teams, this is a significant workflow advantage.
AI Transcript and Summary
ClickUp Clips can auto-transcribe recordings and generate AI summaries, making longer walkthroughs easier to reference without re-watching.
Screen + Camera Recording
Like Loom, ClickUp Clips records your screen with optional webcam and audio — adding personal context to async communication in ways text guides cannot.
Part of an Integrated Platform
If your team is already on ClickUp, Clips adds no additional cost and requires no new tool adoption. The value-per-dollar calculation changes significantly in an existing ClickUp environment.
// verdict
For ClickUp teams who need async video communication within their existing workflow, ClickUp Clips is a natural zero-friction addition. For documentation, Procshot is standalone, needs no account, produces searchable text output, and exports to portable formats. The comparison is less about which tool is 'better' and more about what you're trying to create: a video message or a reusable, searchable, portable document.
// faq
Can I use ClickUp Clips without a ClickUp subscription?
ClickUp Clips requires a ClickUp account. ClickUp's Free Forever and Unlimited plans include 10 Clips uses; Business and above are unlimited. Procshot is a standalone Chrome extension with a free tier — no ClickUp account or subscription required.
Does ClickUp Clips generate step-by-step guides like Procshot?
No. ClickUp Clips records screen video (with optional audio and webcam). It does not auto-generate structured step-by-step guides with annotated screenshots. For documentation rather than video recording, Procshot is the appropriate tool.
My team uses ClickUp — should I use Clips or Procshot?
Both can coexist. Use ClickUp Clips for quick async video updates attached to tasks. Use Procshot when you need a reusable, searchable SOP that team members can follow themselves — then attach the exported Markdown (or PDF with Pro) to the ClickUp task description.
Is Procshot free if I'm not a ClickUp customer?
Yes. On Procshot's free plan, new captures pause only while you have 5 guides from the current month, and no account is required. The optional Pro tier at $4.99/month unlocks unlimited guides, PDF export, arrows/text/blur annotations, and custom branding. No ClickUp subscription or sign-in needed.
Can Procshot attach guides directly to ClickUp tasks?
Not natively — but you can export a Procshot guide as HTML (or PDF with Pro) and attach it to a ClickUp task as a file attachment. The workflow is slightly manual, but the output (a structured, searchable document) is often more useful than a video clip for recurring processes.
