Comparisons
These compare approaches, not named products. We have no verified data on how another extension behaves, and a table of guesses about a competitor would be worth nothing to you.
Built-in browser capture versus an extension
Chrome's DevTools "Capture full size screenshot" is free, built in, and enough for a simple page. It has no handling for sticky headers, lazy images or nested scrolling panels, no PDF export and no editor. On a static article it matches an extension; on an application-style page it usually does not.
Desktop screenshot tools versus browser capture
A desktop screenshot tool captures pixels on your screen, so it can photograph anything but can never reach below the fold of a webpage. A browser capture works inside the document, so it can scroll and join the whole page but only works on web pages. They solve different problems and most people need both.
