The Best Loom Alternative in 2025
If you've been using Loom for screen recording, you know the frustration. What starts as a free tool quickly becomes expensive as your team grows, and before you know it, you're paying $15/user/month just to record your screen.
There has to be a better way. Enter ScreenSense.
The Problem with Loom
Loom revolutionized async video communication. But over the years, it's become bloated and expensive:
-
Pricing that scales painfully — $15/user/month adds up fast for teams
-
5-minute limit on free plan — Barely enough time to explain anything
-
Feature creep — Packed with features you'll never use
-
Slow and heavy — The app consumes significant resources
-
Limited storage — Pay more or lose your old videos
For individuals and small teams, Loom has become overkill.
Meet ScreenSense: Screen Recording Without the Bloat
ScreenSense is built for people who need one thing: record your screen and share it instantly.
No enterprise features you'll never use. No complex pricing tiers. Just fast, reliable screen recording.
