THE biggest difference is our dna.
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
The founding team at Loom initially built 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.
The founding team at Claap built a platform 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 REST OF THIS PAGE IS FOR YOU.
THE top reasons why companies use claap vs loom.
Reason #1
Claap helps you get precise feedback, not just share ideas
Loom is a powerful video screen recorder. It helps you quickly create & share videos. However, Loom hasn’t been designed to collect feedback easily.
Meetings are powerful to brief your team and gather feedback in-context. Loom’s comment system hasn’t been built for that. So Loom won’t help you avoid meetings.
With Claap, get relevant feedback. Comment directly on any part of the video as if you’re pointing at it.
Need feedback from your team? Use Claap.
REASON #2
Claap helps you MAKE decisions, not leave topics unsolved
Loom helps you quickly share context but doesn’t get you to decisions. So you end up creating yet another meeting for that.
Claap is built to align your team and make decisions.
Structure conversations in threads, mention people to get their attention and ask for vote on important proposals. All that you need to make the best decisions together.
And always, without meetingssss.
REASON #3
Claap's WORKSPACE GIVEs you more control.
Claap’s workspace hierarchy is designed to give the right level of access and privacy to the right user group, all in one place.
An admin can manage a company’s workspace with one or more teams. Each team can organize work into different topics. Each topic is made of claaps recorded by users. At each level, we ensure the right level of permissions.
REASON #4
Claap LETS you ORGANIZE RECORDINGs INTO actionable views
Loom organizes videos in simple folders - a bit like Google drive - with no custom views.
Claap’s goal is to increase transparency and facilitate decision-making in organizations.
Group claaps into topics with custom views designed for your use cases.
Sort videos according to a specific program for onboardings, filter videos by status for Product Reviews, ... as many options as you have use cases.
Bonus: you can also share those topics to people outside your organization.
REASON #5
CONSOLIDATE TOOLS. CUT COSTS
It means that instead of paying for several tools, you can just have Claap and consolidate everything in the same place, reducing costs and unlocking a new level of efficiency and alignment.
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.
