Rationale
Cap is explicitly marketed as an 'open source Loom alternative' and its core functionality revolves around screen recordings. The description mentions 'record, edit and share videos in seconds,' directly aligning with screen recording, camera recording (implied by video messaging), instant shared links, and basic video editing. The mention of 'Downloads for macOS & Windows' and 'Cap Desktop' suggests desktop application support, and while a dedicated mobile app isn't explicitly stated, the general nature of a 'video messaging tool' often includes mobile capabilities, making 'mobile-app' a plausible, though not explicitly confirmed, feature. The GitHub repository focuses on the technical architecture and open-source nature, but the primary purpose as a Loom alternative strongly indicates these core features.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Oct 14·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]

The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
