Loom vs. Zight: Which Screen Recorder Fits a Small Business?
Loom's paid plans start at $18 a user each month on monthly billing. Zight's start at $9.95 a user each month on yearly billing.
Both tools record your screen and camera and send a share link, so you can answer a question or train a new hire with a short video instead of a meeting. The big difference is price and packaging: Zight's paid plans cost less and include 4K recording, while Loom's free plan allows up to 50 members but caps videos at 5 minutes.
