Prices are in US dollars; Turkish lira pricing, tax notes and a student discount are not in the official documentation.
Does Shotbase send my captures to the cloud?
Optional; it generates names, tags and summaries for captures, does not send image content to a remote model and runs only on Macs with Apple silicon.
Runs in the cloud: the address to capture is sent to ScreenshotOne (privacy page). Saying “nothing goes to the cloud” would be wrong.
Sign-in providers, local model names, web capture and AI availability after the trial, and a Turkish interface are not stated in the official documentation.
Shotbase refunds and Turkish support
Under the terms, the yearly plan has a full refund within 30 days and the monthly plan within 7 days. The in-app path for canceling a subscription and the account deletion steps are not clear in the official documentation. The official documentation says nothing about a Turkish interface or Turkish replies; there is no Turkish lira price or tax note either.
