How to choose
- Start with the platform you actually use. A native Mac editor and a browser IDE solve different problems.
- Match the workflow, not the feature list. If agents write most of your code, pick the tool whose agent loop you can supervise.
- Check the real price after the trial. One-time licenses and subscription tiers age very differently.
When staying with Loom makes sense
If your main need is Distributed teams replacing long meetings with clips., switching may cost more than it saves. Keep the tool that already fits your extensions, shortcuts, and team setup.
