Roomi vs Loom
For someone choosing between them. Every line about Loom is from its own pages, with the day it was read. Roomi is ours.
Where Roomi is different
- Your client uses the product, rather than watching you use it.
- Every link names its viewer, so nobody is anonymous, with nothing for them to fill in.
- A guided tour, comments pinned to the screen, and a next step, in one room.
- What each viewer reacted to, read back to you beside what they did.

For showing a client a product, ranked
Ranked for one job: a client trying a working product, and you knowing what they did. Roomi is ours.
- Roomi (ours) — your own build, running, at a private link for each person, with nothing to sign up for. You see every visit, click and minute, by name.
- A Loom recording — Loom names a viewer only when they watch while logged in to Loom. Anyone else shows as an anonymous view.
- Screenshots in a deck — no setup at all, and nothing to click. A deck tells you, at best, that it was opened.
Questions
- Is Roomi a Loom alternative?
- For showing a product, yes: your client uses it instead of watching a recording of it. For a message to your team, or a walkthrough nobody needs to click, a recording does the job.
- Does Loom show who watched my video?
- Loom names a viewer only when they watch while logged in to Loom. Anyone else shows as an anonymous view. Asking viewers who are not logged in for an email before they watch is on Loom’s Business, Business+ AI and Enterprise plans.
- How much does Loom cost, against Roomi?
- Loom’s Business plan is $18 a user a month, billed monthly, or $180 a user a year, billed yearly. Roomi Pro is £4 a month, billed monthly, or £40 a year, billed yearly, before VAT.
- Does my client need a Roomi account?
- No. Their link takes them straight into the room, with nothing to sign up for. The link is their key, and it carries their name.
- What does Roomi cost?
- Free costs nothing: static demos, listed on the community at one public address, with total views. A private link per person and everything each person did start on Pro, at £4 a month or £40 a year, before VAT.
- Do I have to tell a client their visit is recorded?
- Yes. Before or when you send the link, tell each viewer who you are and how to reach you about their data. Tell them too that Roomi records what they do in the room and shows it to you. Our terms ask for both.

- How do you send a working demo instead of a pitch deck?: Swap the slides for the real thing: trim a demo to what matters, write a short tour, send one link per person and follow up on what they did.
- What should a demo tour script say? A template: A copyable template for a self-guided demo tour: three to six steps, what each says and the screen it opens, with a worked example.
