Guidde vs Loom

Guidde

Loom

Loom

• The free Starter plan is capped at 25 videos per person, 5-minute screen recordings and 720p quality.

Guidde

Capture from browser or desktop

A Chrome extension and an Edge add-on capture web apps on every plan. Mac and Windows desktop apps record the full screen or one window and are included on Business and Enterprise.

AI voiceover and Magic Mic

Text-to-voice narration is generated in more than 50 languages, and Magic Mic transcribes and cleans up what is said during capture and uses it as the voiceover.

Step-based video editor

A drag-and-drop editor adds, deletes or duplicates steps, inserts shapes and images, and applies transitions and stock music. Blurring sensitive information starts on Pro.

Sharing, embedding and export

Guides are shared by email or public link and embedded in tools such as Confluence, Notion and SharePoint. Pro adds downloads as MP4, GIF, PPT and PDF.

Brand kits and analytics

Pro includes one brand kit for logo, colors and fonts. Business adds video analytics, a viewer activity feed and engagement insights.

Guidde Ask

Ask answers plain-language questions from a team's existing guides, citing the guide and timestamp, and exposes the library to AI assistants through an MCP server.

Loom

Screen and camera recording

Record the screen, the camera or both from the desktop app, the Chrome extension or the mobile apps, then share the video as a link.

Basic editing

Trim recordings, stitch clips together and add backgrounds, text, arrows and box overlays.

Transcripts and captions

Transcriptions and closed captions in more than 50 languages, included on the free Starter plan.

Comments and viewer insights

Viewers can respond with comments, emoji reactions and tasks, and creators can see who watched. Engagement insights and calls-to-action are paid features.

Loom AI

Business + AI and Enterprise add auto-summaries, auto-chapters and filler-word removal. An AI bug report feature fills in Jira work items from a recording.
