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 Podshare if
You’re building around guest-facing share pages. Podshare is a new and intentionally narrow tool from the Slice team: a single shareable page per episode that bundles everything a guest needs to promote — transcript, assets, platform links, suggested captions. That focus is the pitch, but also the limitation.

Frequently asked
What does Loom do better than Podshare?
Loom's standout is "Fastest path to a shareable screen recording". Podshare doesn't make that promise — it leans into "Solves a specific guest-promotion problem cleanly" instead. If the first sentence describes your workflow, pick Loom; if the second does, pick Podshare.
What are the trade-offs?
Loom: atlassian acquisition introduced reliability issues. Podshare: narrow scope by design. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
Loom works on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android where Podshare doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use Loom and Podshare together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using Loom for one show or episode type and Podshare for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
