Clippa vs Loom
Both record your screen and camera from the browser. The real difference shows up the moment you want to keep what you recorded - and what that costs if you ever add a second person.
Flat. Not per person.
Per person, billed annually - $216/year billed monthly

Three places the cost shows up
Per-seat pricing compounds
Loom's $18-24/month is per person. Add a co-founder or a second teammate and the bill doubles - it is a team-tool price, charged whether or not you record as a team. Clippa Pro is one price for the account, full stop.
Free should mean free
A recording you cannot download is not really yours - it is Loom's, hosted on Loom's terms, until you pay. Clippa's download path never touches a server at all, so there is nothing to lock behind a plan.
No account, no install, no wait
Loom's recorder lives behind sign-up and an extension or app. Clippa's is a browser tab - open it, record, and you already have the file, whether or not you ever create an account.

No install, no sign-up to try it, and the download is free forever either way.
