VIDYARD VS LOOM
Feature Comparison
Vidyard - AI and Automation Capabilities For Sales
Vidyard is an AI-powered video selling platform, whereas Loom lacks these advanced automation features. Vidyard is designed to scale outreach using unique tools like AI Avatars to generate personalized videos in 25+ languages, and Video Agent to automatically trigger contextual videos based on buyer actions and CRM data. This functionality positions Vidyard as a solution for high-volume sales and marketing personalization that Loom simply does not offer.
Deeper Analytics and Complete Viewer Identification
Vidyard offers demonstrably deeper, revenue-focused analytics than Loom's basic insights. While both track views, Vidyard provides granular data on watch time, engagement percentage, and team-wide performance, which is essential for ROI tracking. Critically, Vidyard uses in-browser technology to identify all viewers, ensuring sales and marketing teams avoid the "Anonymous" viewer identification that is common on Loom for non-Loom users.
Creating a warm, personal connection is what we’re about and it’s why personal video is so very important in all our sales and marketing efforts.
Dustin Tysick, VP of Marketing and Growth at Jostle
Vidyard is the best solution on the market for managing, marketing, and producing video. If you have videos, want to make more, and want to turn views into leads this is the software for you.
Eric Pratt, Managing Partner at Revenue River
Better Recording Quality and Flexibility on the Free Plan
Vidyard offers better recording quality and more valuable AI features on its free plan compared to Loom's. Vidyard offers 4K recording on all plans, including free, and includes 15 free AI-generated videos per month. By contrast, Loom's free plan is capped at 720p and limits recordings to a restrictive 5 minutes each, offering no AI functionality.
Advanced Branding, Hosting, and Customization
Vidyard provides a far more robust, enterprise-level hosting and branding solution than Loom. Vidyard offers ad-free hosting, personalized players, and the ability to create fully custom video pages using custom HTML & CSS to align perfectly with a brand's website. Loom's paid customization options are generally limited to basic sharing page branding.
Integration: Revenue Focus vs. Collaboration Focus
Vidyard is the clear winner for teams focused on revenue, offering deep integrations with core sales and marketing platforms, unlike Loom's focus on collaboration tools. Vidyard connects seamlessly with Salesforce, HubSpot, Salesloft, and Gong to enable lead scoring and ROI measurement. Loom's integrations are primarily with communication tools like Slack and Notion, emphasizing internal communication over sales automation.
