Loom bills every member of your workspace. Most teams have a few people who record and many who just watch — enter your split and see what that seat model really costs per year.
Loom Business listed at $15 per user per month billed yearly; Loom discontinued its free Creator Lite tier, so workspace members occupy paid seats (people outside the workspace can still watch shared links free). Chairkick Pro is $9 per user per month billed yearly. Rates checked against both public pricing pages on August 5, 2026.
The difference isn't the sticker price — it's who counts. Since Loom discontinued its free Creator Lite tier after the Atlassian acquisition, being in a Loom workspace means occupying a paid seat, whether you record daily or watched one video in March. Chairkick charges per recorder: teammates, clients, and the whole company watch, comment, and never appear on the invoice.
The gap grows with your team. A 3-recorder, 7-viewer team keeps about $1,476 a year; double the viewers and the Loom side doubles while the Chairkick side doesn't move.
It uses both products' published yearly-billing rates — Loom Business at $15 per user per month and Chairkick Pro at $9 per user per month — checked against the public pricing pages on August 5, 2026. Loom's monthly billing and enterprise tiers cost more; treat the result as the conservative estimate.
People outside your workspace can watch shared Loom links without paying. The seats add up inside the workspace: teammates who need access to your team library occupy paid seats since the free Creator Lite tier was discontinued. Chairkick has no viewer seats at all — the library is shared and watching is always free.
See the full comparison for an honest answer — Loom is a mature product with a bigger integration catalog. Chairkick covers the core loop (record, share, comment, AI summaries, transcripts) at half the yearly price, imports your existing Looms, and its free plan records longer at higher resolution.
No. On every plan, only people who record need a seat. Viewers never need accounts and never cost anything — that's the pricing model the calculator is showing you.
Import your Loom library, keep recording in the browser, and pay only for the people who record.
