Why are teams leaving Loom in 2026?
The Creator Lite tier was discontinued in Feb 2026. Viewer seats auto-converted to paid.
Most of whom only watch videos. Loom now charges $20/seat/mo on the new Creator plan.
Anything longer? Pay up. Or hit the new 25-video lifetime ceiling.
Clipy is what Loom used to be — free, generous, and not optimized to extract a quarterly bonus.
Same flow. Different bill.
Apples-to-apples comparison of what you actually pay for, and what you don't.
Comparison reflects Loom's 2026 pricing after the Atlassian migration. Sources: loom.com/pricing and public G2 / Reddit reports.
