ShareX does look like a more powerful (for some use-cases) version! I think the key benefits of Loom are it’s extreme ease of use & its automatic upload of the video, which makes sharing feel very streamlined.
Unfortunately, I’m on macOS currently, so I can’t test ShareX myself.
Re: auto uploads: For anything you capture with ShareX (like a screenshot, video, file, text, or URL), you can configure an automatic upload workflow to any number of services, e.g. my screenshots and gifs are automatically uploaded to imgur (and the URL of the uploaded image is copied into my clipboard); and videos can similarly be set to auto-upload to Youtube or file hosters like Google Drive or Mega.
That said, there’s no point in a tool if it’s not available on your platform =(.
I’ve just found a macOS-compatible potential Loom alternative in CleanShot X, though I can’t test either myself. Plus it’s not free, costing either $30 one time, or $8 monthly.
