vs Loom's view count
A view count tells you nothing
You sent a Loom to a prospect. It shows 1 view. Did they watch the whole thing, or bounce after 10 seconds? Did they hit pause at the pricing slide? Loom won't tell you. So you follow up blind.
ShipClip reports every view, how far each viewer got, and where they dropped off. A prospect who watched 80% is warm. One who bounced at 0:10 needs a different angle. One call you skip, one call you prioritize, and the app's paid for itself.
Loom records. ShipClip renders.
A Loom video is raw screen capture with your face in a corner. No zoom on the buttons you click. No background behind the window. Your product demo looks the same as a casual Slack update: low effort, low signal.
ShipClip auto-zooms into every click, composites your camera with background removal, adds rounded corners and a background you pick, and bakes all of it into the export. You hit stop and the video is share-ready. No Final Cut step between recording and sending.
5-year cost
Loom Business is $18/month per seat ($216/year). ShipClip is $44 once, plus $39/yr for Cloud after year one. Local export works forever, with or without Cloud.
| Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loom Business | $216 | $432 | $648 | $864 | $1080 |
| ShipClip + Cloud | $44 | $83 | $122 | $161 | $200 |
$880 saved over 5 years on one seat. The math breaks Loom even harder on a small team: every seat you add doubles the delta.

What Loom doesn't do
Tell you who actually watched
Loom shows a view count. ShipClip shows watch-through and drop-off. You know which prospect watched the whole demo and which one bounced at the pricing slide.
Make your recordings look polished
Loom captures raw screen video. ShipClip zooms into every click, composites your camera with background removal, and bakes a designed background into the export. Ready to send.
Stay local until you say so
Loom uploads while you record. Any mistake goes live instantly. ShipClip keeps everything on your Mac. Edit, cut, blur, then share when you're ready.
Run native on Mac
Loom bundles Chromium and runs in Electron. ShipClip is a native Mac app, under 10 MB. Lower CPU, higher frame rates, no fans spinning during a client demo.
