Loom
Share video links or embed recordings in work tools, including Google Workspace and Slack.

Before you choose
Look beyond the first recording.
Choose Loom when hosted team discussions, enterprise identity controls, or its Jira bug-report workflow are immediate requirements.
Confirm the exact plan, billing interval, export rights and team access before committing. A free download, a free trial and a free ongoing plan are different offers.
Starter includes up to 25 videos per person, five-minute screen recordings, and recording quality up to 720p. Source
Business lists unlimited videos and recording time, up to 4K, basic editing, and upload/download. Source
Transcript editing, AI workflow generation, silence removal, and filler-word removal are listed on Business + AI. Source
Billing cadence for the displayed paid card values needs confirmation at checkout.

The deciding question
A message today, or a procedure people will reuse?
For a quick update, the watch link and reply experience may matter more than editing depth. For a recurring procedure, test what happens a month later: one screen changes, a teammate takes over and the audience needs written instructions. That is the stronger reason to evaluate Record Wow. If your organization already depends on Loom’s Jira handoff or enterprise identity controls, include those requirements in the trial rather than comparing only the subscription price.
Our workflow recommendation. Use the official sources above to confirm the product features behind your decision.
Choose for the work you actually do.
The right choice depends on the output, the people using it and what happens when it needs an update.
You need a video and a useful handoff.
Record Wow suits recurring walkthroughs, customer explanations and training material. Keep the recording, written instructions and review process in a free workspace, with downloadable files for later use.
Choose Loom when hosted team discussions, enterprise identity controls, or its Jira bug-report workflow are immediate requirements.
A hosted messaging service may fit an established communication stack. Record Wow is a stronger fit when your team wants to keep producing and maintaining the material after the initial conversation.
Share the same update with an internal teammate and an external reviewer. Check what each person can view, how comments attach to the video and how access is removed.
Make one revision before deciding
Change a real detail in the source material. Time the work needed to correct the explanation, inspect the final output and share the revision. This reveals more about everyday use than the first polished demo.
Bring your work into Record Wow.
Keep an export and the original
Check that your Loom plan and permissions allow export. Save a supported video or image file and keep your original project as a backup. A hosted link alone is not a portable editing project.
Build a small, complete example
Import the media, arrange the explanation and add written steps. Review captions and screenshots against the source so the guide says what the recording actually shows.
Test the handoff with another person
Ask a teammate to follow the instructions and review the result. Check access from the recipient’s account before moving more material or replacing an existing workflow.
