Three reasons developers and creators choose Screenix
Loom has no native Linux application — only a Chrome extension workaround. Screenix is built specifically for Ubuntu and Linux distributions, with full X11 and Wayland support.
Loom's Business plan costs $15/user/month. Screenix is just $5.99/month — professional screen recording at a fraction of the cost. Or grab a lifetime license for just $39.
Loom is focused on async video messaging, not polished tutorials. Screenix adds automatic smooth zoom and pan effects that follow your cursor, making your recordings look professional instantly.
Loom does not have a native Linux application. The only workaround is a Chrome extension, which is limited in functionality. If you need professional screen recording on Linux, Screenix is the best alternative — built specifically for Ubuntu with X11 and Wayland support.
Yes. Screenix offers automatic smooth zoom and pan effects that follow your cursor, a feature Loom does not provide. This makes Screenix ideal for creating polished tutorials and product demos.
Loom's Business plan costs $15/user/month with custom Enterprise pricing. Screenix is $5.99/month or $49/year — a 60% monthly savings. We also offer a lifetime license for $39, which Loom does not provide.
Yes. Unlike Loom, which hosts all videos on their servers, Screenix stores recordings locally on your machine. You have full control over your files and can work completely offline.
Screenix offers a 7-day free trial with full video export. Loom has a free tier limited to 25 videos with a 5-minute recording cap. Screenix's trial has no such restrictions.
