Loom review

Loom is built around one habit: record your screen and face, then paste a link instead of booking a meeting. The free Starter plan lets up to 50 members record up to 25 videos each, with a 5 minute limit and 720p quality, which is enough to test whether async updates stick with a team. Business, listed at $18 per user per month, removes the video and length caps, records in up to 4K, adds trimming and stitching, removes Loom branding and adds password protected videos and engagement insights. Business + AI at $24 adds auto titles, summaries, chapters, filler word and silence removal, edit by transcript and auto meeting notes. Viewers can comment and react with emoji, and transcripts cover more than 50 languages. Loom also embeds in Jira, Confluence, Notion and Slack, which matters for engineering and support teams. The weak spot is editing depth: it is a messaging tool first, so heavy tutorial production belongs in Camtasia or Descript.

Who it is for
