Rationale
Cap is explicitly positioned as an open-source alternative to Loom, offering core functionalities like screen and camera recording, instant sharing, and basic editing. It also includes many 'other' features such as viewer analytics, comments, transcripts, team workspaces (similar to a team library), custom branding, password protection, and enterprise security features like S3 integration and self-hosting. The website clearly details these features across its various pages.

[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]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Oct 11·+234
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.
