We build easyrec, so treat this as what it is: a comparison written by one of the two parties. What we can promise is that the facts are checked and the parts where Loom wins are left in. Pricing and limits are current as of July 2026.
The short version
Loom and easyrec do the same core job — record your screen, get a link, share it. The difference is what you pay to get past the free tier, and how much of the product is bundled versus sold as an add-on.
| easyrec | Loom | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | 10 videos, 5 min, 720p, 1 GB, watermark | 25 videos, 5 min, 720p, up to 50 members |
| Entry paid plan | $7.50/mo ($90/yr) | $18/user/mo |
| Unlimited videos | Pro, $7.50/mo | Business, $18/user/mo |
| Recording length (paid) | 30 min on Pro, unlimited on Business | Unlimited on Business |
| Max quality | 1080p on Pro, 4K on Business | Up to 4K on Business |
| AI transcription | Included on Pro, 36+ languages | Business + AI, $24/user/mo |
| Team plan | $12/seat/mo, up to 10 members | $18–$24/user/mo, unlimited members |
| Storage | 50 GB on Pro, 500 GB shared on Business | Not published as a hard cap |
| Enterprise SSO / SLA | Enterprise plan | Enterprise plan |
Price, honestly
This is the whole reason most people read a comparison like this, so here is the arithmetic.
One person recording regularly needs unlimited videos. On Loom that is Business at $18/user/month — $216 a year. On easyrec that is Pro at $7.50/month — $90 a year. Same job, $126 a year difference.
A five-person team is where it gets sharper. Loom Business is $90/month, or $1,080 a year. easyrec Business is $12/seat/month, so $60/month or $720 a year for five seats — and unlimited recording length and 4K are included at that tier rather than being the reason you upgraded.
Add AI. On Loom, transcription and summaries live on Business + AI at $24/user/month. On easyrec, AI transcription in 36+ languages is included on Pro at $7.50. For a five-person team that comparison is $1,440/year against $720/year.

- 50 GB of storage
- AI transcription in 36+ languages

- Canvas presets for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 — vertical and square crops for social without re-recording

Where Loom is the better choice
Three situations, plainly:
You need a large free tier and record rarely. Loom Starter gives you 25 videos to easyrec's 10, and lets you add up to 50 members without paying. If you record twice a month and never hit the caps, Loom free is more generous and you should stay on it.
Your team is bigger than 10 people. easyrec Business tops out at 10 team members; beyond that you are on Enterprise. Loom Business scales to unlimited members on a published, self-serve price. For a 40-person department that predictability matters.
You need deep integrations today. Loom has years of ecosystem work behind it — Slack, Jira, Notion, Confluence, and a long tail of others. If your workflow depends on a specific integration, check that it exists before switching.
Where easyrec is the better choice
You are one person, or a small team, paying per seat for a record button. This is the common case. Pro is a bit over 40% of Loom Business's price with a comparable everyday feature set.
You want AI transcription without a second upgrade. On Loom, AI is a $6/user/month step up from Business. On easyrec it is in the $7.50 plan.
You post clips to social. Canvas presets for 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 mean one recording becomes a LinkedIn post, a Reel, and a square embed without re-recording or re-editing.
You want clear storage numbers. 50 GB on Pro, 500 GB shared on Business — stated up front rather than governed by a fair-use policy.
Does anything break when you switch?
Not much, and this is the part people worry about most.
Recording works the same: pick your screen, add webcam and mic if you want them, hit record. Uploading happens while you record, so the link is live within seconds of stopping. Viewers need nothing installed — every video plays in the browser at easyrec.io/v/{id}, and there is an embeddable player for docs, help centres, and landing pages.
Every recording is transcoded to MP4 after upload, so videos play on Safari and iOS as reliably as on Chrome — a detail that quietly breaks a lot of self-hosted setups.
Your existing Loom videos stay where they are. Most people don't migrate a back catalogue; they keep old links working on Loom's free tier and record everything new on easyrec. Nothing has to happen in one weekend.
The bottom line
If Loom's free tier covers you, stay on it. If it doesn't, the question is whether the workflow you actually use every day — record, link, share, transcribe — is worth $216 a year per person or $90.
The fastest way to answer that is to record one video on each. Start free on easyrec — no credit card required — and see whether anything is missing.
