What it actually does
Cap is a screen recording tool that does what Loom does, without the monthly price tag creeping up on you. Record your screen, your face, or both, and get a shareable link in seconds. If you want something more polished, flip into Studio Mode and tidy it up before you send it. Your recordings can be saved to your own Google Drive, so they're yours and not locked inside someone else's platform. It's free to use on your computer, with a paid plan (~$8/mo) if you want extras like cloud sharing, automatic captions, and team features.

How it earns its place
It does everything we need a screen recorder to do, without Loom's price tag. We use it for every quick walkthrough video, demo and screenshot, so clients get a clear answer they can rewatch instead of another long email.
