Overall Satisfaction with CloudApp

We have many different tools that facilitate communication with clients, each has its own place in our workflow. However, CloudApp tries to combine many of these tools - quite effectively - to have a centralized hub for our screen recordings and annotated screenshots. All these are nicely organized in a file system. Each project/client can have its own sub-folder (collection). This helps keep all the recordings and files arranged, which is especially useful if you work with many clients. The actual purpose of the recordings is to educate and help our clients. In a web design business, it's essential to help clients in how to use their new website and a screen recording (or a series of recordings) can be very helpful. To explain and answer small questions, the annotated screenshot features are great.
  • Screen recording
  • Taking screenshots
  • Annotating
  • File management
  • Sharing screenshots/screen recordings with clients
  • Pricing for individuals should be more competitive
  • Lack of support forum where users could help each other
  • Screen recording
  • Annotated screenshots
  • Easy sharing of screen recordings/screenshots
  • We spend less time on explaining
  • Keep a centralized space for client related education material
We've been using Loom too in its early days. Loom vs CloudApp really boils down to personal preference. If you're using screen recording more, then Loom, if you take a lot of screenshots and annotate them, then CloudApp. The pricing is very similar, with CloudApp a bit more expensive, but it has more screenshot tools as I mentioned, which could be a game-changer.

CloudApp is great and does the job well, but there are other well-established products/services that bring the same value for a lower subscription price. This is especially important for small teams or startups. Given the fact it has all the important features, bigger companies will be very satisfied with it. Individuals and small teams might find other solutions more affordable, while getting the same features.
