Loom
Screen and camera recorder for shareable video messages
Sendspark
AI-personalized video outreach for sales and marketing teams
Which one is for you
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
Pick Sendspark if
- Fits if you send a lot of outreach to sales prospects and want each video personalised
- Works for small teams who live in HubSpot or Gmail
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you need Salesforce, Outreach or the API on the cheapest plan: they start at Growth, $69 a month
- Tight if you personalise many videos, as each uses Dynamic Video Minutes and extras cost $0.19 to $0.39 a minute
- Pricey if you buy for yourself: Solo is one seat at $39 a month
- Watch out: payments, including the rest of an annual term, are non-refundable after you cancel
- Not for you if you want a phone app, as none is listed

| Features | 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. | CRecording, AI personalisation, video emails, landing pages, workflows and analytics. Salesforce, Outreach, API access and custom domain start at Growth, and extras are billed on top. |

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.
