Pullsy vs Loom
Pullsy vs Loom — which one should you pick in 2026?
Everything Loom charges for — free.
If you've narrowed it down to exactly these two tools — a screen recorder with a share link and viewer analytics — the decision is less about features and more about who you are. A solo creator on the 25-video wall has a different answer than an enterprise buyer on the Atlassian stack. The table below says which to pick, and the rest of the page says why.
Short version: Pick Loom if you need SSO, password protection, transcript-based editing, or you're already on the Atlassian stack. Pick Pullsy if you want unlimited free recording, no watermark, free view analytics, and the Ask-this-video feature (viewers ask your video a question, get a timestamped answer).
Decision tree: when Loom still makes sense, when Pullsy does.
Six concrete user archetypes. Match the one that sounds like you.
If your company has standardized on Atlassian and you record a video a week, the SSO and admin control of Loom Business is worth the per-seat cost. Pullsy has no SSO and no central workspace today.
Free on Pullsy removes the wall and the cap. Same screen-recording flow, shareable link, no watermark, no Business upgrade to unlock the basics.
No watermark on Pullsy free. The agency gets a shareable link with the work, not a Loom badge. Pullsy Pro (~€9/mo) lets you put it on your own domain for full branding.
Pullsy doesn't ship transcript-based editing today. If your workflow depends on deleting "um"s by clicking on the transcript, Loom Business + AI (~$20–24/user/mo) is the only one of the two with it.
Loom doesn't offer this at any tier. Pullsy's Ask-this-video feature is free and is built into every recording.
Loom Business paywalls password protection. Pullsy's default is private-by-default unlisted links; password protection and link expiry are on the Pullsy roadmap but not yet shipped.

Ask-this-video (Pullsy only).
The biggest gap between the two products: Loom is one-way. The viewer watches, scrubs, gives up. Pullsy adds a chat panel under the video. The viewer types a question in plain English and gets an answer pulled from the transcript, with a clickable timestamp that jumps them to that moment in the recording. Loom has nothing equivalent at any tier.
Auto-summary + transcript (Pullsy free vs Loom Business + AI).
Pullsy generates an auto-summary, chapter list, and searchable transcript on every recording, free. Loom gates the same three features behind Business + AI, ~$20–24/user/mo. For a team of five, that\'s $1,200–$1,440/year to get the AI features Pullsy gives you at $0.
Free view analytics.
Loom charges Business (~$18/user/mo) to show who watched your video and how far they got. Pullsy shows the same data — viewer identifier, watch time, completion percentage, drop-off chapter — on every recording, free.
Frequently asked questions
Do I lose my Loom videos if I switch to Pullsy?
No — Pullsy doesn't touch your Loom library. Loom videos stay on Loom. Pullsy is a separate recorder: you open /record, capture a new screen recording, and get a Pullsy share link. To save old Looms locally before they age out of your free tier, use /tools/loom-to-mp4/ to convert a Loom share link to an MP4 you keep on your drive.
Is Pullsy a complete Loom replacement?
For most individual users and small teams, yes. Recording, sharing, viewer analytics, AI summary, transcripts, and Ask-this-video are all there. For larger teams on the Atlassian stack that need SSO, central workspace management, and password-protected shares, Loom Business still has features Pullsy doesn't ship yet.
Can my team use Pullsy together?
Yes — multiple people can record and share, view each other's recordings, and comment. The Pullsy Team tier (~€12/seat/mo) adds a shared workspace and an API. The free tier works fine for a handful of people sharing with each other; it just isn't a centrally-managed workspace yet.
What does Pullsy actually cost?
Free is the full product. Pro (~€9/mo) removes the small Pullsy link in the share page chrome, adds custom domain, and unlocks unlimited AI usage. Team (~€12/seat/mo) adds a shared workspace and API access. Loom Business runs ~$18/user/mo and Loom Business + AI runs ~$20–24/user/mo for comparable features.
Which one is right for an agency sending videos to clients?
Pullsy. The watermark issue alone is the deciding factor — Loom's free Starter stamps the Loom logo on every recording, which reads as "amateur tool" on client work. Pullsy doesn't. Pro adds your custom domain so the share link lives at e.g. videos.youragency.com.
Is Pullsy affiliated with Loom?
No. Loom is a trademark of Atlassian. Pullsy is an independent product not affiliated with or endorsed by Loom. Plan details above are dated to July 2026 from Loom's public pricing pages.
