Comparison
Facts side by side.
Reviewed 14 October 2026. The official Chrome Web Store lists Capture 4.88.1. Capture capabilities are checked against its public listing and product behavior; competitor facts come from the linked first-party pages. This is a feature comparison, not a controlled performance benchmark.
| Topic | Capture by RATdeck | Awesome Screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| Full page capture | One click scrolls and stitches the current webpage. | The Chrome Web Store listing says it can capture the page you visit, full page, a selected area or the visible part. |
| Beyond the webpage | Webpages in desktop Chrome. Not apps outside Chrome, and not Chrome-protected pages. | The same listing says it can capture the entire screen or a specific application window. |
| Editor | Free crop, annotation and basic blur. Pro adds callouts, stamps, magnify, emoji and a custom watermark. | The listing describes annotation, blur, highlight, crop and text on screenshots. |
| Formats | Clipboard, PNG and WebP. PDF through Pro review reports. No JPG. | The listing says PNG, JPG or PDF. |
| Cloud library | No cloud screenshot library. An optional Pro share link uploads the selected Before and After frame after you agree, and expires in seven days. | The listing describes optional account storage and share links. Its pricing page also lists unlimited screenshots saved locally on the Free plan; cloud storage and local saving have different limits. |
| Screen recording | Opt-in Beta, off until you enable it. Recordings stay on the device. The microphone is used only if you turn it on. | The listing describes desktop, tab or camera recording, with an optional microphone and webcam, saved locally or to the online account. |
| Delay | No delay timer. | The listing says visible, entire-screen or app-window capture can run after a delay. |
| Permissions | No all-sites host permission. Access starts with activeTab when you capture. | Awesome Screenshot’s help center says the extension uses an “On all sites” permission so it can capture when you click it, and that access ends when the action stops. That is their description of the permission. |
| Price | Free plan, then Pro at $3/month or $12/year (India ₹340/month or ₹1,359/year, including 18% GST). | Awesome Screenshot offers Free, Basic and Professional plans, with monthly and annual billing. Check the pricing page for the plan, billing interval and local/cloud limits you need. |
