THE biggest difference is loom dna vs Claap .
First, we’d like to give a big shoutout to the team at Loom. They invented the “record button of the internet”. They’ve built a super-fast recording experience enabling everyone to quickly share videos.
If you’re here evaluating Claap vs. Loom then you’re already doing the right thing by finding a product that can help you communicate more asynchronously.
So what’s the difference between Claap and Loom?
Claap = Loom + meeting recording + collaborative video workspace
Loom was built as an extension that helped people record videos showing their screen and face to provide quick one-way communication, but not to collect feedback nor make decisions.
Claap was built to help people solve one of the biggest issues of the distributed era: back-to-back meetings and siloed information. So we've designed the video workspace to help you both replace a meeting with a short video and also make your meetings more productive with automated meeting recording and AI-powered summaries.
THE top 5 reasons why companies use claap vs loom.
Reason #1
With Loom, you simply share ideas. With Claap, you get feedback on top.
Meetings are effective for briefing your team and gathering in-context feedback, but Loom’s comment system isn’t built for this. So Loom won’t help you avoid unnecessary meetings.
With Claap, you can get relevant feedback. People can comment directly on any part of the video as if they’re pointing at it.
Need feedback from your team? Use Claap.
REASON #2
Claap helps you MAKE decisions, not leave topics unsolved like Loom.
Claap is built to align your team and facilitate decision-making.
You can structure conversations in threads, mention people to get their attention, and ask for votes on important proposals. Everything you need to make the best decisions together.
And always, without meetingssss.
REASON #3
Claap's WORKSPACE GIVEs you more control than Loom's.
Claap’s workspace hierarchy is built to provide the right level of access and privacy for each user group, all in one place. An admin can manage a company’s workspace with one or more teams, and each team can organize its work into different topics.
Each topic is made up of "Claaps" aka recorded or uploaded videos. At every level, we ensure the correct permissions are in place.
REASON #4
Claap LETS you ORGANIZE RECORDINGs INTO actionable views
Claap’s goal is to increase transparency and facilitate decision-making in organizations.
You can group 'Claaps' into topics with custom views tailored to your use cases.
Sort videos according to specific programs like HR or Sales onboardings, or filter videos by status for Product Reviews... as many options as you have use cases.
Bonus: you can also share these topics with people outside your organization.
REASON #5
CONSOLIDATE TOOLS. CUT COSTS
This means that, instead of paying for several tools, you can consolidate everything in one place with Claap, reducing costs and unlocking a new level of efficiency and alignment. Go beyond the limitations of Loom!
We managed to cut 20% of our meetings with Claap. It’s been instrumental to balance efficient meetings for creative review and culture with recorded videos for overall efficiency, async working across time zones, collaboration, and a record of agreements.
I think it was really a game changer. Everything is easier and you waste less time. The workload after a call where you need to prepare things and think through what you have to do was divided in two.
I've managed to shorten my sales cycle because I replace 30-minute meetings with prospects with three five-minute videos. I've literally seen ten days just fall off of that process and allow me to go quicker.
