When it makes sense. Keep Loom, or challenge it?
Keep if

You value an integrated product over stitching several tools together.
Loom becomes worthwhile when
+You use it at least once a week
+The monthly cost ($18) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
Your need is occasional and a simpler free tool is enough.
You already cover the same workflow in your current stack.
Loom becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
