Best AI screen recorder

Why Loom is the top pick
It is the standard tool for quick screen-recorded explanations, and its AI summaries make those videos skimmable.
- Click record, talk through your screen, stop, and a shareable link is already copied. Nothing is quicker for a screen explainer.
- Free covers 25 videos of up to five minutes each. Enough to try, not enough for daily use.
- Business is $18 per user a month; Loom AI (summaries, chapters, filler-word removal) needs Business + AI at $24. Yearly billing cuts both by about 17%.
- Prices have climbed under Atlassian, and every workspace member now needs a paid seat.
Other tools that do this job
