No Atlassian pricing. No 5-minute video limits. No forced cloud uploads. Record tabs with spring click-zoom, wrap in designer frames, and export local MP4s with zero friction.
Loom's acquisition by Atlassian shifted their focus from builder tools to corporate structures. Here is how we differ.
Loom blocks you from sharing videos longer than 5 minutes unless you pay $18/mo. Simple Screen Recorder features unlimited recordings with zero cost.
Loom hosts every capture in the cloud automatically. SSR does all rendering on your graphics hardware locally, ensuring sensitive mockups never leave your machine.
Loom records flat, raw videos. SSR uses spring physics animations to auto-zoom on your cursor clicks, highlighting what matters without timeline manual edits.
