Which one is for you
Pick BombBomb if
- Fits if you send personal video messages to leads from Gmail or Outlook
- Works for sales teams that want an alert the moment a video is watched
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're one person, at $36 a month before any extras
- Skip it if you hate cards, because the 14-day trial needs one
- Tight if you need email sending or CRM links, which start at Pro, $56
- Watch out: annual plans are a 12-month commitment
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's none
Pick Loom if
- Fits if your team would rather watch a two-minute walkthrough than sit in a call
- Works for teams in Jira and Confluence that want video tied into them
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free and explain things at length, as screen recordings stop at 5 minutes and 720p
- Not for you if you want a real timeline, because editing here is trimming and stitching
- Pricey if you want the summaries and chapters, since those need Business + AI at $24 per user a month
- Watch out: after the 14-day trial the workspace drops to Starter, which caps at 25 videos per person
- Skip it if you're on Linux, or need SSO without an annual Enterprise contract
How we grade them
| 1.8GPABombBombWeak | 2.8GPALoomGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$36 a user a month yearly ($42 monthly), well above the $12.99 middle, and email sending, contacts and CRM links are on the $56 Pro plan. | CBusiness is $18 per user a month billed monthly, which is the top of the normal band for video tools here against a middle of $10. Annual billing saves up to 17%. The AI summaries sit a tier higher again at $24. |
| Free plan and trial | DA 14-day trial that needs a credit card and turns into a paid plan unless you cancel. No free plan. | CStarter is free and includes transcriptions in 50+ languages, but it stops at 25 videos per person, 5-minute screen recordings and 720p. Those are caps you reach, not caps you forget about. |
| Features | CRecording, viewer alerts, branding, captions and CTAs. But Core has no email sending, contact lists or team reporting, which start at Pro. | CIt does the record-and-send job fully: capture, transcripts, captions, comments, reactions, viewer insights. But that's a smaller job than an editor's, and Loom's own listing calls its editing basic, trimming and stitching with a few overlays. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and you connect your email and CRM first. | A4.81 from 19,101 App Store ratings. Record from the desktop app, the Chrome extension or your phone and what comes out is a link, with nothing for the viewer to install. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone, Android and browser extensions, with Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, HubSpot and more. No desktop app. | AMac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with ties to Jira, Confluence, Slack, Google Workspace, Salesforce and Figma. Only the lack of a Linux app spoils it. |
| Best for | video emails for sales and real estate | quick screen recordings you share as a link |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
