If using snap caps makes you feel better then go for it. I've never used them and have been dryfiring guns for close to 40 years with no problems. There are exceptions. Kel-Tec advises against it and I do not dry fire double shotguns or 22's. There are a few others, but it will not hurt most modern guns.
I can sit in my den and get in several hundred rounds of dry fire practice in the evening at no cost. I do so several times a week and have done so for years. Some of my guns have been dry fired many many thousands of times. Using a snap cap "MAY" help prevent "SOME" damage, but you are still cycling the gun and causing wear to moving parts.
Something on one of my guns may break tomorrow that can be linked to dry firing, but it is still money well spent. I have saved enough on ammo costs alone to pay to replace every gun I own several times over. Not counting the time and expense of going to a firing range.
