Vorec vs Loom (2026): Narration, Editing and Price Compared
Vorec Team · 2026-10-20 · About 3 min read
Loom is built around you speaking while you record; Vorec drafts the narration for you from the captured workflow. That is the main difference. This page compares them from Loom's pricing page (6 October 2026) and Vorec's plan catalog (5 October 2026). Prices are dollars as displayed, we did not test the tools against each other, and "not checked" means we could not confirm it, not that it is absent. Vorec is our product.
What Loom does
Loom records screen and camera for a shareable link, with auto titles, transcription and closed captions on every tier and apps for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. Starter is $0 with 25 recordings per person and screen recordings up to five minutes, up to 720p. Business is $18 per user a month ($15 with annual billing, shown as $180 a year) with trim, stitch and basic waveform editing and up to 4K; Business + AI is $24 ($20, $240 a year) and adds transcript editing, filler and silence removal, and summaries and chapters. Enterprise is by quote. See Loom pricing.
What Vorec does
Vorec records with its own macOS recorder or takes a recording you upload. An AI coding agent can drive the recorder through the CLI, saving the take locally for you to review before anything is uploaded. Vorec drafts narration matched to the captured workflow, generates the voiceover, and freeze-sync can hold a frame while an explanation finishes. A written step-by-step guide can be generated from the same capture. Plans (catalog, 5 October 2026): 7-day trial with 100 credits and no credit card; Starter $9, Pro $24, Business $59 a month ($86, $230, $566 a year). See Vorec pricing.
