Best Loom Alternatives in 2026

Vidyard is the most direct Loom alternative for sales professionals and B2B teams. While Loom excels at internal async communication, Vidyard is engineered for outbound video — personalized sales prospecting videos, video email, and detailed viewer analytics that show exactly who watched your video and for how long. Its AI script assistant generates personalized video intros from prospect data, and the AI-powered captions work across 12 languages.

Veed.io is what you get when you want Loom-style screen recording with professional editing capabilities baked in. After you record, Veed's AI can auto-subtitle your video in 100+ languages, remove background noise, clean up filler words, and apply visual enhancements — all in the browser without any software download. For teams shipping polished internal content or product demos, Veed removes the editing step entirely.

Tella positions itself as the 'Loom for creators' — it prioritizes visual polish over raw recording speed. Its multi-scene recording lets you combine screen shares, slides, and talking-head clips into a single cohesive video without editing. The built-in teleprompter solves the biggest pain point with async video (stumbling over words), and custom backgrounds make every video look studio-quality regardless of your home setup.

Scribe takes a fundamentally different approach to screen recording: instead of producing a video, it watches you complete a workflow and automatically generates a written step-by-step guide with annotated screenshots. For process documentation, onboarding guides, and SOPs, Scribe produces the final deliverable in seconds rather than requiring editing. The result is text that can be searched, updated, and embedded anywhere.

Claap is built specifically for product and engineering teams who need async video to replace synchronous meetings. Its killer feature is threaded, timestamped video comments — colleagues can leave feedback directly on specific moments in the video, creating a structured async discussion that's tied to the content rather than scattered across Slack. The AI layer summarizes video discussions and extracts action items automatically.

Riverside excels where Loom falls short: recording quality and post-production. While Loom records compressed video, Riverside captures separate local tracks for each participant at up to 4K/48kHz, resulting in studio-quality output even over unreliable internet connections. Its AI then transcribes the recording, lets you edit by deleting text, and automatically clips the best moments for social sharing.

Descript turns video editing from a timeline skill into a document editing skill. Once you've recorded (screen capture, webcam, or any uploaded file), Descript transcribes everything and lets you edit the video by editing the text. Its Overdub feature creates a voice clone so you can fix mistakes by typing — the AI speaks the correction in your voice. For teams producing polished async content or tutorials, it eliminates the need for a dedicated video editor.

ScreenPal (formerly Screencast-O-Matic) is the most affordable Loom alternative for individuals and small teams who need reliable screen recording and cloud hosting without paying for premium features they'll never use. At $4/month, it includes unlimited recording, AI captions, basic trimming, and a hosting library — everything 80% of users actually need from Loom at a fraction of the cost.

Worth noting: Loom itself has evolved significantly since Atlassian's acquisition. Loom AI now auto-generates summaries, titles, and chapter markers for every recording. It identifies tasks from video discussions and creates Jira tickets automatically. If your main concern is the feature gaps that existed in older Loom, the current version may already address them before you switch.

mmhmm is the most visually differentiated Loom alternative — it treats every video recording as a live presentation with virtual stage effects, dynamic slide overlays, and custom scenes. Instead of a floating camera bubble, you can appear in front of your content, shrink yourself to a corner while your screen takes center stage, or teleport between presenter scenes. Particularly popular for external-facing demos and all-hands recordings.
