Comparison

SayScreen vs Loom

Loom is built for quick video messages: you record your screen and face, talk as you go, and share a link the moment you stop. SayScreen is built for finished tutorials: the AI performs the steps in your web app, writes and voices the narration, and edits in zooms, a cursor and captions. Use Loom for personal, conversational updates; use SayScreen for polished how-to videos you publish and keep.

Loom or SayScreen: which should you choose?

Choose Loom if…

  • You want your face and your own voice on camera, recorded in one take
  • You want a share link the moment you stop, with comments, reactions and viewer insights
  • You're recording something other than a web app: desktop software, a design file, a document
  • Your team works in Atlassian tools: Loom AI can turn a video into a document or a Jira bug report (Business + AI)

Choose SayScreen if…

  • You want a polished, scripted tutorial without retakes: the AI performs the steps and narrates them
  • You want zooms that follow the action and a gliding cursor in every video (Loom lists automatic zoom as coming soon)
  • You want to fix a sentence without re-recording: rewrite the line and it's re-voiced and re-timed
  • You need the file: an MP4 and .srt with every video

Where Loom and SayScreen differ

Recording yourself, or not at all

With Loom you record your screen, camera and microphone with its desktop app, Chrome extension or phone app, and narrate live. With SayScreen you don't record or speak: the AI drives a real Chrome browser through your web app and a lifelike AI voice does the talking.

Editing

Loom's editor trims and stitches clips; on Business + AI it can edit by transcript and remove filler words and silences. Automatic zoom, AI voices and avatars are listed as coming soon. SayScreen edits every video automatically (zooms, a gliding cursor, click highlights and captions) and lets you rewrite narration and re-render.

Sharing

Loom is a sharing platform first: instant links, embeds, comments, reactions and viewer insights, with MP4 downloads on paid plans. SayScreen hands you files (an MP4 and an .srt) to publish wherever your viewers are.

Pricing

Loom Starter is free for 25 videos per person, up to 5 minutes each, in 720p, without downloads. Business is $18 per user a month and Business + AI $24 ($180 and $240 a year for one user, billed yearly). SayScreen is $1 for your first 7 days, then $29 a month for 30 videos, up to 10 minutes each.
