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 your 14-day free trialstop 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 has no such caps: unlimited projects on every plan and 100 GB of Drive storage per Pro seat, 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, in every plan: 2,500 credits per seat per month on Pro, with no separate AI tier to buy.
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 $29/member/month on Pro ($20/member/month billed annually), versus the $18-$24 loom charges just for video.

Honest pricing
kloudboard
14-day free trial with everything unlocked, then $29/member/mo, or $29/member/mo billed annually (31% off). Frame-accurate review, freelancer payments, and kloudie AI included; client guests are always free.
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?
kloudboard doesn't have a free tier. Every new workspace starts with a 14-day free trial with everything unlocked: unlimited members, unlimited projects, and all features. After that, Pro is $29/member/month (or $240/member/year billed annually) with 100 GB of Drive storage and 2,500 kloudie AI credits per seat, and guests and clients are always free with no seat charge.
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.
What does Loom cost compared to kloudboard?
Loom's free Starter plan limits you to 25 videos per person at 5 minutes each in 720p. Paid Business is $18/user/month, and its AI features require the Business + AI plan at $24/user/month. kloudboard's Pro is $29/member/month ($20/member/month billed annually) and includes video/image review, kanban, chat, calendar, Drive, payments, social analytics, and AI, with guests always free.
