A Loom Alternative for Data-Driven Video Updates
Use Loom when one person needs to record an explanation manually. Use Significant Figures when a team needs repeatable video updates generated from fields, metrics, and reports.
Significant Figures is not built around recording a screen or webcam. It is built around structured inputs becoming reusable video outputs.

| Record a personal walkthrough | Strong fit | Not the main use case |
| Create the same update for many accounts | Manual and repetitive | Strong fit |
| Use structured fields and metrics | Awkward to repeat | Core workflow |
| Turn recurring reports into video | Manual narration each time | Data-backed video story |
| Personalize across customers | Hard to scale manually | Built around variables |
