Why dealers pick CarShots over Loom
One price for the whole store
$19 a month covers every salesperson, so a five-person sales team costs the same as one.
Start free today
One salesperson records and sends unlimited videos free, forever, with a small "Sent with CarShots" badge.
The car comes with the video
Send the video on top of the car's Car Page, with studio photos, the walkaround, the window sticker and the price, not a video on its own like Loom usually sends.
When Loom may be the better choice
Be honest about what you need. Loom may suit you better if:
- You mostly record your screen for coworkers, not videos for shoppers.
- You want team spaces, editing by transcript and AI meeting notes.
- You need recordings in 4K or longer than a few minutes.

FAQ
How much does Loom cost?
Loom Starter is free for 25 videos per person and 5-minute recordings. Business is $18 a user a month and Business + AI $24. Enterprise is by quote.
Can car salespeople use Loom?
Yes, but Loom doesn't know about cars. A CarShots video can sit on top of the car's page with its studio photos, price and window sticker, and the salesperson sees when the shopper watched.
Is there a free Loom alternative with no signup?
Yes. The free send a video tool records or uploads a video of up to 2 minutes and gives you a link, no account needed. Guest videos stay up 14 days.
