Jing and SnagIt are screen capture tools that allow users to take screenshots and screencasts. Jing is free while SnagIt costs $50. Both allow screenshots and screencasts but SnagIt has more advanced editing tools and export options while Jing is simpler to use. For most basic needs, Jing would suffice as a free option that is easy to use and provides screenshots and screencasts, though SnagIt has more power for those willing to pay.
