Why switch
If you like what Loom does, you'll feel at home, minus the price tag.
Price
Loom's paid plans run $18–$24 per user every month. Superscreen is a single $12 payment with free lifetime updates and nothing recurring.
Studio-quality editing
Loom records flat screen video. Superscreen automatically zooms into the action, smooths the cursor, and frames your recording so each demo looks produced, not just captured.
Private by default
Loom uploads recordings to the cloud and needs an account. Superscreen records, edits, and transcribes captions on-device. Nothing is uploaded and there's no sign-up.
