Bujua vs Loom
Loom made async video normal. Bujua does the same core job, recording in the browser, sharing a link, seeing who watched, at a lower price per recorder and with AI features on every plan.
The short answer
Both tools record your screen and camera, share a link instantly and show who watched. Loom has a desktop app, 4K recording on Business and a long list of integrations. Bujua costs less per person who records ($8 against Loom's $18 a month, or $49 flat for up to 10), and includes transcripts, AI summaries and chapters on every plan, where Loom puts AI on its $24 Business + AI tier.
