Tool comparison

Velo vs Loom

Loom is a screen recorder - you hit record, talk through your screen, and share the link. Velo is AI video infrastructure: it generates finished video from a recording, a URL, or your own company knowledge, keeps it current, and ships it across your stack with hosting, analytics, and an API. Both make video; one records, one is the layer your whole team builds on.

“Not bad - time to move away from Loom”

Shivani Shimpi Product Manager & AI/ML Engineer

Yes - a broader one. Loom records; Velo is video infrastructure that generates, hosts, analyzes, and automates video.

No - per account, so cost doesn't multiply with team size.

Yes - upload the MP4 and Velo rewrites the script, adds voiceover, and returns a polished video.

Yes - SSO, RBAC, SCIM, SAML, SCORM, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR.

Bring the video layer to your team.
