The short version

  • Only Loom has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Loom free tier capped at 25 total videos with 5-minute maximum recording length per video; ON24 the Internet Archive's capture of ON24's homepage on 1 January 2021 named five distinct platform tiers, Webcast Elite, Engagement Hub, Target, Intelligence, and Connect, but pointed visitors to a 'Find your pricing fit' quiz rather than publishing figures.
  • They diverge on capability: Loom covers Screen & camera recording, ON24 covers Live webinars.
