Add AI? +$24/mo
Same editing, trimming, viewer analytics, and sharing — on Plus. AI captions and summaries are on Vyds Pro ($12/mo), still 50% less than Loom Business+AI.
Four reasons Loom customers move to Vyds.
Prices doubled after Atlassian bought Loom
Creator Lite seats were eliminated. Teams saw bills jump overnight. Vyds Plus is $7/mo — 61% less than Loom Business ($18). No surprise increases, ever.
Your videos sit on Loom servers
If you leave, your content is gated behind a login. Vyds Free stores recordings in your own Google Drive or OneDrive. Delete your Vyds account, keep every video.
Recordings fail mid-upload
Loom uploads while you record. Lose connection, lose the take. Vyds saves to your disk the moment you stop — upload happens after, and a dropped connection can't eat your work.
AI features are a $24/mo add-on at Loom
Loom gates captions and summaries behind Business+AI at $24/mo. Vyds Pro at $12/mo includes AI captions, summaries, and chapter markers.

Switching from Loom — questions answered.
Yes. Vyds records your screen, camera, and mic, and gives you a share link — same core workflow as Loom. The differences are: your videos save locally first (no lost recordings), your free plan stores videos in your own Google Drive (not Loom's servers), and paid plans start at $7/mo instead of $18/mo.
Vyds Plus is $7/mo and Loom Business is $18/mo — both include unlimited recording, editing, and viewer analytics. The savings come from two things: (1) we run lean and don't have enterprise overhead, and (2) our free tier uses your own Google Drive instead of our servers, which means our per-user storage cost is near zero.
Not yet — Loom only lets you download your videos one at a time. Once we launch, you can download videos from Loom and re-upload them to Vyds. We're working on a bulk import tool for a future release.
Nothing. Videos you recorded on Plus or Pro stay on Vyds for 90 days after downgrade. After that, new recordings on the Free plan save to your own Google Drive. You keep access to everything you've recorded, regardless of your plan.
Yes — AI captions, summaries, and chapter markers are included on Vyds Pro at $12/mo. Loom charges $24/mo for the same features (Business+AI tier). You save 50% for the same AI capabilities.
No. Every Vyds video has a public share link that plays instantly — no login, no download, no account creation. Same as Loom.
Vyds is launching in 2026 — join the waitlist to be first in line. Free forever plan, no credit card required.
