Which one should you pick?
Pick Loom if
You’re building around async communicators. Loom is the easiest way to record a quick screen walkthrough and send a link — perfect for showing a guest how to upload audio or walking an editor through changes. Atlassian bought it and the product has been wobbly since; the free tier's 25-video lifetime cap is a hard stop that nudges you to paid whether you need it or not.
Pick MASV if
You’re building around production teams. MASV is the pro choice for sending genuinely massive files — terabyte interview rushes, raw camera footage, multi-track stems — without the 50GB cap that strangles WeTransfer. Pay-as-you-go at $0.
