Where Pixelmatic wins
Four places we do better.
- Library-wide search across the org
- Find the moment somebody said something across every recording your team has made, not just inside a single video.
- Pay by tier, not by seat
- Every team plan includes unlimited teammates, so the savings start with the second person. 15 people: from $29 vs Loom's $360.
- Genuinely free recording
- No time cap, no video cap, just a free account. The screenshot editor is free too.
- Browser-first, every OS
- No "open in app" prompts. Same experience on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Linux teammates included.
And if you care about what your videos look like, here's how Pixelmatic keeps every recording on-brand, with recorder, branding, and player settings set once for the whole team.
Being honest
Where Loom still wins.
We're not going to pretend Loom is a bad product. Here's what they do that we don't, so you can decide cleanly.
- Maturity.
- Loom is older, with more integrations and a bigger user base.
- Free starter generosity.
- Their free tier hosts every video (up to 25 per person) on their side.
- AI features.
- Loom has shipped a number of AI features Pixelmatic doesn't have yet.
The honest call
Which one is right for you?
Choose Pixelmatic if you're
- Teams who'd rather find than ask, and want recordings searchable across the whole library.
- Teams that don't want to make teammates install a desktop app.
- Teams who got bitten by per-seat pricing as they grew, and want a different model.
- Mixed-OS teams (especially with Linux) who need everyone on the same recorder.
Stay on Loom if you're
- Teams that only need single-recording search.
- Teams already locked into Loom integrations they rely on.
- Teams that specifically want the AI features Loom offers.
If this is all you need, stay with Loom. No hard feelings.
