The honest read

Where Zight is the better answer, and where it is not.

What Zight does well

One tool for stills, GIFs and video, all landing in the same place.
Annotation and instant links are quick and well judged.
A shared team library that non-technical colleagues actually use.

Where it runs out of road

Cloud-first: an account is required and the file is theirs before it is yours.
Quality and length are capped by the plan you are on.
The editing is trimming, and there is no timeline behind it.

Zight is a sharing tool that records. Superscreen is a recorder that also exports — if the value is in the link, Zight wins; if it is in the file, it does not.
