How to Cancel Loom Paid Plan in 2026 (Free Screen Recording Alternatives)

Updated February 2026 • 4 min read

Loom charges $12.50/user/month for Business (after Atlassian acquisition). The free Starter plan limits you to 25 videos and 5-minute recordings. Loom was revolutionary in 2020 — in 2026, every operating system and browser has built-in screen recording. Here's how to cancel.

How to Cancel Loom Business

  1. Log into loom.com
  2. Click your workspace name → Settings
  3. Go to Billing
  4. Click "Downgrade to Starter"
  5. Confirm — your existing videos remain accessible
  6. Download important videos before downgrading (Starter limits storage)

Loom Free vs Paid: What Changes

Free Screen Recording Alternatives

The Loom Hosting Lock-In

Loom's real value isn't the recording — it's the instant sharing link. You record, get a link, paste it in Slack. But you can replicate this: record with OBS or macOS, upload to YouTube (unlisted) or Google Drive, share the link. Takes 30 extra seconds. Or use Cap (open-source Loom alternative) which gives you the same instant-share workflow for free.

Download Your Videos Before Downgrading

On the Starter plan, you're limited to 25 videos. If you have more than 25, download the ones you want to keep before downgrading. Go to each video → three dots → Download. Or use Loom's bulk export if available. After downgrading, oldest videos beyond the 25 limit may become inaccessible.

Bottom line: Loom was essential when screen recording was hard. In 2026, Cmd+Shift+5 (Mac) or Windows Snipping Tool does the same thing for free. If you need instant share links, Cap (open-source) replicates the Loom workflow at zero cost. Downgrade and save $150/user/year.
