reshare vs Loom
These tools meet at the same moment: a screen recording that needs a link. Loom is a recorder first, with hosting attached; its free plan allows up to 25 videos per person at up to 5 minutes each. reshare does not record anything: it hosts the file you already made, with no video count limit, no length cap inside 50 MB, and links that stay live.

How it works
- 01
Need to record?
Use Loom, or the recorder you already have: QuickTime and macOS record to .mov, Windows to .mp4. Both upload here directly.
- 02
Holding the file already?
Drop it above. It becomes a permanent link that plays in the browser, and it does not count against a 25-video allowance.
- 03
Hit Loom’s free limits?
Export the recordings that matter and put them on reshare links. Same shareable result, no per-video cap.
Where each one wins
| reshare | Loom | |
|---|---|---|
| Records your screen | No. Bring a file from any recorder. | Yes, that is the product: browser and desktop recording built in. |
| Free plan video allowance | No video count limit. | Up to 25 videos per person. |
| Video length, free | No duration cap; the limit is 50 MB per file. | 5 minutes per video. |
| Beyond video | The PDF, page, or deck next to the recording gets the same kind of link. | Video and screenshots. |
| Updating a shared link | New file behind the same URL, versions kept. | Each recording is its own video and link. |

The honest summary
If you record all day and live inside the recorder, Loom’s workflow is genuinely good and reshare does not replace it. If you record occasionally with whatever tool is at hand and just need the result on a link that will not expire or hit an allowance, hosting the file on reshare is the simpler arrangement, and the 5-minute free cap never enters the picture.
