Clapshot is a self-hosted collaborative video review tool. While it doesn't offer screen or camera recording directly, it focuses on the review and annotation of existing video files. It explicitly mentions features like threaded comments (video-comments), a hierarchical folder system for organizing media (team-library), and the ability to secure sensitive recordings (password-protection). It also has basic editing capabilities like trimming and loop region control (basic-video-editing). The core concept of asynchronous video collaboration is present through its review and annotation features, even if the initial video creation method differs from Loom.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

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.
