I haven't tried the macOS version of it, but you can try Stop Motion Studio
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stop-motion-studio/id556506460?mt=12>.
I've seen kids have great success with the iPad and Chromebook version of
this app.  You could also use iMovie.  These would both be a little more
involved than GoAnimate, but should provide some similar functionality and
end product without the cost.

Thank you,
Paul
