Is the desktop app really free?

Yes. Record, polish, edit and export offline with no account and no card. Cloud is the only paid part.

Do you charge per creator?

Pro covers 3 creators for $12 a month, then $4 a head. Loom bills every creator from the first one.

What happens when I hit a Cloud limit?

Nothing gets billed behind your back. Links stop being served until you upgrade, retire an old link, or point Recast at your own bucket.

Can I use my own storage?

Every plan can bring its own bucket. Choosing a named provider (S3, R2, Azure, GCP) and controlling residency are Pro and Enterprise features.

Is there a trial, and can I cancel?

There is no trial clock. Cloud Free needs no card, you upgrade when you outgrow it, and cancelling stops billing at the end of the period.

What happens to my recordings if I stop paying?

They stay on your machine, because that is where they were made. Only hosted links stop being served.

What your team actually pays

Loom bills every creator. We bill the workspace, then $4 a head past 3.

Team	Recast Pro	Loom	You save
Solo founder 1 person	$12	$18	33%
Small team 5 people	$20	$90	78%
Growing company 20 people	$80	$360	78%

Loom Business is $18 per creator monthly, $15 annually (published rates, July 2026). Their filler-word and silence removal sits a tier higher again. Recast does it offline, before you make an account.
