The push

Why teams leave Loom

  • Per-seat pricing climbs fast as more of the team needs to record.

  • The free plan caps videos and clip length right when it gets useful.

  • Recordings and viewer data live on a vendor's servers, not yours.

  • Price and plan changes arrive on the vendor's schedule, not yours.

Questions

Loom alternatives, answered

Is there a free, open-source Loom alternative?

Yes. Screenity is a GPL-3.0 screen recorder, and Borg runs it so your team shares walkthroughs without a per-seat fee.

Where are my recordings stored?

On storage your workspace controls. The clip and its link stay inside your own environment, not a vendor's cloud.

Does it record the screen and my camera together?

Yes. Screenity captures a screen, tab, or window with an optional camera bubble, the same setup most Loom clips use.

What does Loom cost a team?

Loom Business is about $15 per user per month on an annual plan, so a 20-person team pays roughly $3,600 a year before usage.

What does Loom do that Screenity does not?

Loom has built-in view analytics and auto-transcripts. With Borg, engagement lives where you host the clip and transcription runs through your own model.

Do I pay per seat on Borg?

No. The App Hub has no per-seat cost. You pay only for the AI and compute you actually use.
