  • Each has a real cost: Loom free tier capped at 25 total videos with 5-minute maximum recording length per video; Sitebulb desktop plans are limited to a single user, so teams need Sitebulb Cloud or paid add-on seats to collaborate.
  • They diverge on capability: Loom covers Screen & camera recording, Sitebulb covers JavaScript crawling.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Loom

  • Free tier capped at 25 total videos with 5-minute maximum recording length per video
  • Free tier limited to 50 workspace members
  • AI features (auto-meeting recaps, auto-notes, auto-editing) only available on paid Business+AI and Enterprise tiers
  • Video branding (Loom logo) appears on free and Business plan videos; only removed on Business+AI tier

Sitebulb

  • Desktop plans are limited to a single user, so teams need Sitebulb Cloud or paid add-on seats to collaborate.
  • Large sites near or above the 500,000 URL Pro limit require reconfiguration or the Cloud tier to avoid hitting crawl caps.
  • Desktop crawling relies on local machine resources, so audit speed and scale depend on the user's hardware rather than cloud infrastructure.
