Clipnote vs Loom
Both record your screen and give you a link. The difference that matters to most people is what the free plan lets you do, and what you pay when it doesn't.

The five-minute limit is the real difference
Loom's free plan stops you at five minutes. That is fine for a quick reply and useless for a walkthrough, a bug report with context, or an onboarding video — which is exactly when a screen recording is worth making.
Clipnote has no limit on the free plan. Record for forty minutes if the thing takes forty minutes. That single difference is why most people arrive here.
Where Loom is still ahead
Loom has transcripts, AI summaries and a long list of built-in integrations. If your team lives inside those, Loom is the better tool and it would be silly to pretend otherwise.
Clipnote is the better fit if you want unlimited-length recording without paying for it, a cheaper seat price, and drawing on screen without a paid desktop plan.
What switching involves
Nothing to migrate. Your old Loom links keep working — Clipnotedoesn't touch them. Record your next video here and share that link instead.
You can try it without an account: open the recorder and hit record. You only need to sign up when you want to share.
Record something longer than five minutes.
Free, no watermark, no card. 25 recordings to start.
