Clipiao vs Loom
Updated September 24, 2026
Loom is built for work: screen and webcam videos, meeting recordings and team workspaces, with a free plan of 25 videos of up to 5 minutes each. Clipiao is built for quick sharing, especially in Discord: its links play right in the chat, while a Loom link in Discord shows a preview image that opens Loom.

Loom's plans are from its pricing page in September 2026. We checked the Discord behavior by sharing a public Loom link: Loom gives Discord a preview image and a player page, not the video file, and Discord isn't in Loom's list of apps where its links play inline.
Choose Loom if
- You record walkthroughs and updates for work, often longer than a minute.
- Your team comments on videos, records meetings or needs admin controls.
- You record on your phone.
Choose Clipiao if
- You want to show something fast: a bug, a play, where to click.
- You share in Discord and want people to watch without leaving the chat.
- You want to record just part of your screen, at 60 FPS, with your computer's sound.
Try Clipiao free. Record part of your screen and paste the link.
