Stepyo vs Loom
First, the honest part: Loom and Stepyo aren't the same tool. Loom records async videos (screen + webcam) — great for messages, demos and feedback. Stepyo turns a process into a step-by-step guide (screenshots + text). This page is for one specific case: if you use Loom to document repeatable processes, a guide is usually faster to consume, search and keep updated.
Short answer
If you need to send async video messages or record yourself on camera, keep Loom — Stepyo doesn't replace that. But if you're using Loom to document how-to processes that people follow, a step-by-step guide (Stepyo) is easier to skim, searchable, faster to update, and — in Stepyo's case — Portuguese-native, billed in BRL, with data in Brazil.

Where Loom wins (and Stepyo does not compete)
- Async video messages and screen + webcam recording
- Talking to camera — tone, demos, feedback that need a human voice/face
- Native Atlassian ecosystem integrations (Jira, Slack, Notion) and a huge user base
When a guide (Stepyo) beats a Loom video
- For repeatable processes people follow — no one wants to scrub a 5-min video to find step 3
- When docs need to be scannable and searchable, not watched start to finish
- When the process changes often — re-record one step, not the whole video
- When you need Portuguese, billing in reais, data in Brazil and LGPD compliance

Frequently asked questions
Does Stepyo replace Loom?
Not for async video messages or face-to-camera recording — that's Loom's job. Stepyo replaces Loom for one case: documenting repeatable processes, where a step-by-step guide beats a long video.
Why use a guide instead of a video for a process?
A guide is scannable (jump straight to the step you need), searchable, and fast to update — change one step instead of re-recording the whole video. Videos are great for messages, less so for reference docs.
How does pricing compare to Loom?
Loom charges in US dollars (Business from $15/user/mo). Stepyo charges in reais, avoiding FX and IOF. See current plans on the pricing page.
Is my data stored in Brazil?
Yes. Stepyo hosts data in Brazil and is built around LGPD compliance.
