Loom Pricing History (2024โ€“2026)

Since the Atlassian acquisition closed in late 2023, Loom has been steadily restricting its free tier and adding paid tiers:

Free video time limit cut from 5 to 3 minutes March 2026
Loom reduced the per-video time limit on the free plan from 5 minutes to 3 minutes. Teams using Loom for async updates, bug reports, and product demos found their typical recording workflows exceeded the new limit. Existing videos were unaffected; the limit applied to new recordings.
Free max video length:5 minutesโ†’3 minutes
Business plan price increase Q3 2025
Loom raised Business plan pricing from $8/creator/month (annual) to $12.50/creator/month โ€” a 56% increase. Atlassian cited AI feature investments and infrastructure improvements. Monthly billing equivalent rose from $12 to $15.
Business (annual):$8/creator/moโ†’$12.50/creator/mo
Free plan video count limit added Q1 2025
Loom added a 25-video limit to the free plan (previously unlimited videos with only a 5-minute time cap). Free users with large libraries of older videos retained access, but new recordings counted toward the 25-video cap.
Free video limit:Unlimitedโ†’25 videos
Loom AI features added to Business+ Q4 2024
Post-acquisition, Atlassian added AI-powered features: automatic transcripts, smart chapters, filler word removal, and video summaries. These were initially included in Business, then split into a "Business + AI" tier in 2025.
AI features:Not availableโ†’Business + AI tier ($20/creator/mo)

What Loom's Pricing Changes Mean for Competitors

Loom's free tier degradation since the Atlassian acquisition has pushed teams toward alternatives. Tella, Screenpal (formerly Screencast-O-Matic), Veed.io, and Vidyard are all running campaigns targeting displaced Loom free users.

The March 2026 video length cut was particularly impactful for technical teams โ€” developers recording bug reproducibility videos, product managers doing feature demos, and support teams doing async walkthroughs all routinely exceed 3 minutes. These users are now prime candidates for alternatives that offer more generous free tiers.

If you sell async video tools, Loom's ongoing free tier cuts represent a steady acquisition opportunity โ€” but only if you respond quickly when each change hits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Loom still free in 2026?

Yes, Loom has a free Starter plan. However, the free plan is now limited to 25 videos total and 3 minutes per video (down from 5 minutes). For most professional use cases โ€” demos, bug reports, async updates โ€” this is quite restrictive. Teams doing more than a few recordings per week typically need Business.

How much does Loom Business cost in 2026?

Loom Business is $12.50/creator/month billed annually ($150/creator/year), or $15/creator/month billed monthly. The Business + AI tier (with AI transcripts, chapters, and filler word removal) costs $16.67/creator/month annual or $20 monthly.

Is Loom worth it after the Atlassian acquisition?

Depends on your use case. If you're already in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Confluence), Loom's integration with those tools has improved post-acquisition. If you're not an Atlassian shop, Loom's pricing trajectory (56% Business price increase, free tier cuts) makes it worth evaluating alternatives like Tella, Vidyard, or Screenpal.

What are the best Loom alternatives in 2026?

For teams wanting more generous free tiers: Tella (unlimited 10-minute videos on free), Screenpal (free with watermark), Cap (open source). For teams wanting similar quality with better pricing: Vidyard (free for individuals), Claap (meeting recording + async video). The right choice depends on whether you need AI features, integrations, or just raw recording capability.
