03 / Frequently asked questions
Is Sirvez a free Loom alternative?
Yes. Sirvez is a free Chrome screen recorder with no watermark, no recording time limit, and a built-in editor, all of which Loom restricts to its paid plans. Sirvez's free tier includes 1GB of cloud storage and unlimited local recordings, and Pro is $6/month versus Loom's ~$12.50/user/month.
#q-free-loom-alternativeDoes Sirvez put a watermark on free videos like Loom?
No. Sirvez never adds a watermark on the free tier, while Loom adds its own branding to videos recorded on its free plan. With Sirvez, watermarks are an optional Pro feature you control (position and opacity), not something forced onto free recordings.
#q-watermarkIs there a recording time limit on Sirvez compared to Loom?
Sirvez has no recording time limit, whereas Loom's free plan caps individual videos at around five minutes. You can record for as long as your local storage allows, which makes Sirvez a better fit for long tutorials, demos, and training content.
#q-time-limitHow much does Sirvez cost compared to Loom?
Sirvez is free with 1GB of cloud storage, or $6/month ($60/year) for Pro with 50GB, versus Loom's paid plans starting around $12.50 per user per month. Recording itself is always free on Sirvez and doesn't even require an account.
#q-pricingDoes Sirvez have a better video editor than Loom?
Sirvez includes a full built-in editor (pan and zoom keyframes, annotations, arrows, speed changes, and non-destructive cuts with hardware-accelerated export), while Loom offers only basic trimming and stitching. For polished demos and tutorials, Sirvez's editor is the more capable option.
#q-editorBottom line: If you want a free, no-watermark recorder with unlimited length, a real built-in editor, and offline capture, Sirvez is the better value at $6/mo (versus Loom's ~$12.50). Choose Loom if deep Atlassian/Slack integration and built-in viewer notifications matter more than price.
