ShotPut Pro copies, verifies and makes contact sheets, and its site describes some camcorder unwrapping. It remembers past jobs. Amaptik remembers the cards themselves, so a card it has already copied is recognised the moment it goes in. It guards against overwrites by what’s inside a file, not just its name and date.
Checked against each product's own site, fall 2026; prices checked 13 November 2026. “Unknown” means the claim doesn't appear on their site — not that the feature is absent. “Claimed”, “Some” and “Limited” reflect what their pages describe. Short-term and project licenses some of them offer aren't listed, because we don't sell one. Prices and features are the competitors' published ones on the dates given and may have changed since; trademarks belong to their owners.
