CoachNow vs Loom
Two tools coaches often weigh against each other, compared on the same terms.
CoachNow
Video analysis and messaging for sports coaches — annotate swing or stroke clips, compare them side by side and share them in a space per athlete.
Loom
Quick screen-and-camera recordings shared by link — ideal for form feedback, weekly check-in videos and explaining a programme without a live call.
Pricing

What it is
CoachNow
A coaching app for sports where technique lives on video. Athletes upload clips, you mark them up, record a voice-over and drop drills into their space, so feedback does not stop when the lesson does.
Loom
Press record, talk over your screen or webcam, get a link. No editing, no file transfer, no scheduling. The recipient can watch at double speed and reply in text.
Best for
CoachNow
Golf, tennis, baseball and other skill coaches who want to sell remote lessons or keep in-person students practising the right thing between sessions.
Loom
Asynchronous coaching. A three-minute video reviewing a client's lift video carries more than a paragraph ever will, and costs you three minutes instead of a booked call.
Watch out for
CoachNow
It only works if students actually film themselves. Build the upload into your lesson routine from the first session, or the space stays empty.
Loom
Free-tier limits on video length push you to be brief, which is mostly good. Anything containing health information needs the same care you would give any client record — check where the video lives and who can open the link.
Editorial comparison — nothing here is paid placement. Pricing changes often; treat the vendor’s own page as the truth. How we review
