Loom Business, per user

The Loom workflow, at a fraction of the price

Loom is a polished async-video platform built for large teams on Atlassian. If you mostly want to record something, get a link, and move on, QuickSnip does that for $5 a month with AI transcriptions included and a free tier that isn't capped at 25 videos.

Record on macOS, Windows, or straight from your browser.

What the recordings look like 7 comments

Every time I recorded a Loom to pitch a feature or close a customer, I'd watch it back and cringe. No zoom on the important click. Sensitive data exposed.

r/SaaS, "Loom is great. Loom recordings look terrible."

We could keep going. One reply in the same thread puts the whole category in a sentence: "it's not about the recording, it's the hosting and sharing, I still use OBS to record my screen but I upload into loom." Search r/atlassian and r/SaaS for Loom. The threads are easy to find.

Reflects publicly listed plans as of July 2026. QuickSnip prices billed annually (Pro $6, Team $10 monthly). Loom prices are per user. "Increases reported" is what Loom customers describe at renewal rather than a published rate: r/atlassian users report hikes of up to 80%, one team going from 40 to 72 USD a month.

The thread is titled "Loom increasing prices nearly a 100%". In the same thread another team says they are "basically off it now", and a third says their rollout got "essentially zero adoption". Worth noting the counterargument raised there too: a commenter points out their own plan rose far less, and that Loom has shipped AI features that cost real money to run.

QuickSnip

QuickSnip is $5 a month for Pro, or $6 billed monthly, and there is a free plan that records and shares without a card. What you sign up at is what it stays.

You are paying for the link, not the recorder

it's not about the recording, it's the hosting and sharing, I still use OBS to record my screen but I upload into loom

r/atlassiansame thread

This came up when someone argued there are plenty of free ways to record a screen, so Loom does not justify the price. The reply is the sharpest description of the category we have read: recording is free and solved, hosting a link that works is the part people pay for. A founder giving away a free Screen Studio alternative in r/macapps concedes the same thing, that everything is free in his tool except shareable links, "which has server costs".

QuickSnip

That is exactly what QuickSnip is built to be. Record or snap, and the link is on your clipboard before the window closes, at a price that assumes the link is the product.

Which one should you actually pick?

An honest read, not a sales pitch.

Choose Loom if

  • Your team lives in Jira and Confluence. Loom's native Atlassian integration is deep and battle-tested.
  • You lean on viewer analytics and timestamped comments for async standups and reviews.
  • You're already in a Loom Enterprise contract with SSO and admin controls your IT team depends on.

Choose QuickSnip if

  • You want a shareable link the moment you stop recording, with no per-seat AI upcharge.
  • You'd rather pay $5 a month than $15 to $20 and still get 4K and AI transcriptions.
  • You need offline recording, screenshot annotation, or a free tier that doesn't stop at 25 videos.
