Comparison
Screen-recording video vs. structured step-by-step documentation
Loom is excellent for quick screen-recording videos. Docfai turns screenshots and recordings into structured, exportable documentation — with numbered steps, titles, descriptions, and formats like PDF and PowerPoint — all processed locally.
| Feature | Docfai | Loom |
|---|---|---|
| Capture method | Manual screenshots, hotkey capture, screen recording, and video-to-screenshot extraction — you choose exactly what is captured | Records screen and webcam video |
| Step editing | Full step editor — reorder steps and add titles, descriptions, bookmarks, and media | Trim video and add comments; no step-by-step document editor |
| Where your data is processed | 100% on your device — capture, editing, and export are all local; nothing is uploaded | Cloud-based — recordings are hosted on Loom |
| Export formats | PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML, Markdown, Confluence, and SharePoint | Shareable video links and video download — not structured document export |
| Templates | Built-in SOP and work-instruction templates with live preview | Not focused on document templates |
| Pricing | Flat €20/month or €200/year · 7-day free trial · team plan available | Free tier plus paid plans — see loom.com for current pricing |
Capture your screen, build structured SOPs, and export to PDF, Word, or PowerPoint — 100% on your device.
For written step-by-step documentation, yes. Loom produces shareable videos; Docfai produces structured guides you can export to PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and more. Many teams use both — Loom for quick clips, Docfai for lasting SOPs.
No. Docfai keeps everything on your device — there is no cloud hosting of your recordings.
