kloudboard vsLoom
love loom for quick screen recordings, but tired of paying for it on top of your kanban tool, your review tool, your chat, and your payment app? kloudboard brings async video and the rest of your creative stack into one workspace.
Start free — no card requiredstop hitting the 25-video, 5-minute wall
loom's free Starter plan caps each person at 25 videos and 5 minutes per recording at 720p, so a single feedback-heavy week pushes a creative team onto the $18/user/month Business plan. kloudboard is free forever for up to 5 members with 3 projects and 10GB of Drive storage, and async video review lives right next to the board you're already working in.
video review that points at the exact frame
loom gives you a comment thread and emoji reactions under the player, which is great for casual feedback but vague for creative revisions. kloudboard does frame-accurate review: timestamped comments plus draw-on-frame spatial annotation on both video AND images, so a note lands on the precise frame and pixel instead of "around the 0:42 mark."
clients and freelancers review for free, no account
loom's free Starter workspace tops out at a limited member count and external collaboration gets thin fast. kloudboard guests and clients are always $0 with no seat charge, and guest reviewers can leave timestamped notes without creating an account at all.
pay your freelancers without leaving the workspace
loom records the work but has no way to pay for it, so you're back in PayPal or a separate payout tool. kloudboard has built-in freelancer payments via Dots, supporting PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, ACH, international bank, Payoneer, AirTM and crypto at a roughly $1 flat fee plus percentage, so the brief, the review, and the payout all live in one place.
AI that's included, not a $6/seat upcharge
loom locks its AI titles, summaries, chapters and filler-word removal behind the Business + AI plan at $24/user/month, a $6/seat jump over standard Business. kloudboard includes Kloudie, an AI assistant powered by Claude Haiku 4.5, in every plan: 1,000 credits/month on the free tier and an extra 10,000 credits per seat on Pro.
one tool instead of five subscriptions
loom is purpose-built for one job: async video messaging. kloudboard replaces the whole stack a creative team strings together around it, kanban board tracking with card-health analytics, real-time chat with Slack/Discord/WhatsApp bridging, calendar with Google Calendar sync, file Drive, social analytics for YouTube/Instagram/TikTok/X/Facebook, and payments, for $20/member/month on Pro versus loom's $18-$24 just for video.

Honest pricing
kloudboard
Free forever for up to 5 members, 3 projects, 10GB and unlimited free guests. Pro is a flat $20/member/mo ($180/yr) — video review, freelancer payments, and a free AI assistant all included.
Loom
loom's free Starter plan caps you at 25 videos per person, a 5-minute recording limit, and 720p; paid Business starts at $18/user/month, and its AI features (auto titles, summaries, filler-word removal, meeting recaps) are gated behind the pricier Business + AI plan at $24/user/month.
if all you need is fast, polished screen recording, loom still wins
loom is the category leader in async video messaging for a reason: instant screen + webcam capture, a browser extension and desktop app refined over years, automatic transcription in 50+ languages, viewer engagement analytics, and AI editing like filler-word and silence removal. If your team's core need is recording and sharing screen videos, and you don't need kanban, payments, or social analytics in the same place, loom is a more specialized, more mature tool for that single job. kloudboard's strength is consolidating the surrounding workflow, not out-recording loom.
Frequently asked questions
Is kloudboard really free?
Yes. kloudboard has a free-forever plan for up to 5 members with 3 projects, 10GB of Drive storage, and 1,000 Kloudie AI credits per month, and guests and clients are always free with no seat charge. Pro is $20/member/month (or $180/member/year) for unlimited projects plus 50GB and 10,000 extra AI credits per seat.
Does kloudboard integrate with Loom?
No. kloudboard does not integrate with Loom. Instead of embedding Loom, kloudboard has its own built-in video and image review so async feedback happens inside the same workspace as your board, chat, and payments. kloudboard's verified integrations are Slack/Discord/WhatsApp chat bridging, Google Calendar sync, one-click Trello import, and social OAuth for YouTube/Instagram/TikTok/X/Facebook.
Can I migrate from Loom to kloudboard?
There's no direct Loom import, since Loom is a recording tool rather than a project workspace. Most teams keep their existing Loom library where it is and start using kloudboard for new video and image review, board tracking, chat, and payments. You can also keep Loom for screen recording and use kloudboard for everything around it, the choice is yours.
kloudboard vs Loom for creative teams and agencies?
Loom is best for quick screen-recorded messages and walkthroughs. For a creative team or agency that also needs frame-accurate review with draw-on-frame annotation, a kanban board, client/freelancer collaboration, freelancer payouts, and social analytics, kloudboard puts all of that in one workspace instead of pairing Loom with four other subscriptions.
