Loom vs Vidyard
Loom is the cheaper and more general of the two; Vidyard is built for sales teams. Loom Business is $15 per person a month billed yearly, against $59 for Vidyard Starter, and Loom is sold alongside Jira and Confluence for teams that record walkthroughs and updates for each other.
Vidyard puts more into what happens after the video is sent: viewer analytics, team performance reports, branded sharing pages, video hubs, and integrations with CRMs and sales engagement tools. Loom’s Salesforce integration is on Enterprise only, where Vidyard connects two tools on Teams and any number on Enterprise.
For a sales team that lives in Salesforce or HubSpot and wants video in the pipeline, Vidyard fits better. For a team that sends videos to colleagues as often as to buyers, Loom costs less. Our Rescreen vs Loom page compares Loom in more detail.
A polished video without editing it
A one-to-one video to a prospect works when it is short and clean. In Vidyard and Loom you get the take as you recorded it: the false start, the pause while a page loads, the “um” before the price. Fixing them means trimming by hand, or paying for Loom’s AI plan.
Rescreen edits the take when you stop. It cuts the mistakes, retakes, filler words and silences, zooms into what you click, and levels your voice. You open a finished video and send the link. Every edit can be changed, and the original is kept.
That suits a seller, founder or account manager who sends a handful of videos a week and does not need a full sales-video platform. A team that needs every view logged in the CRM still needs one.
Where Vidyard is ahead
Vidyard does several things Rescreen does not, and for a sales team they can matter more.
- Sales integrations. Video activity goes into Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, Gong and other tools. Rescreen has none.
- Analytics. Vidyard shows who watched and alerts you when they do, with reports for the whole team. Rescreen, on Pro, shows views, how much was watched and where viewers stop, with no alerts or team reports.
- Selling features. Branded sharing pages, call-to-action buttons, password protection, video hubs and scheduled expiry.
- AI videos at scale. AI avatars and the Video Agent make and send personalised videos for you.
- Desktop apps. Vidyard records from apps for Mac and Windows as well as a browser extension. Rescreen runs in the browser only.
If those are what your team buys video for, Vidyard is the better choice. If you want a clean video to a buyer without editing it yourself, and a free plan without a monthly cap, try Rescreen.
