Is Cap a good free Loom alternative?

For an individual, Cap is the strongest free recorder: a native app, no time limit on local recordings, a full editor, and 4K export, with the code on GitHub. For a company, the free plan does not cover commercial use, and the team features (AI, analytics, workspaces, a custom domain) are on Cap Pro at $8.16 to $12 a user a month.

Is there a free screen recorder for teams?

OrgOrg's Screen Recorder is free for teams of up to 5 people, commercial use included. It records a screen, a window, or a tab with a camera bubble from the browser, with an instant link, comments on the timeline, and a team library. The suite that comes with it holds profiles, go links, on-call, and feedback.

What does OrgOrg lack that Cap has?

A native app, local recordings with no time limit, an editor, 4K and 60 fps export, AI summaries and transcripts, viewer analytics, your own S3 storage, and the open-source code. OrgOrg records from the browser, shares a link, keeps the comments on the timeline, and counts views.

Yes. Cap's code is on GitHub under AGPLv3, with the camera and capture crates under MIT. The docs give a Docker Compose setup with the web app, a media server, MySQL, and MinIO or any S3-compatible store. Cap states that it does not offer direct support for self-hosted deployments.

How long can a recording be in OrgOrg?

Five minutes on the free plan and three hours on Pro. The free plan stores 60 minutes of video for 30 days, and Pro stores 1,000 hours for a year. The library shows how long each recording stays.

The free Cap alternative

OrgOrg vs Cap · Open-source screen recorder with a desktop app and cloud links

Free for teams of up to 5. Every app, no feature gates, no credit card. Past 5 people, Pro is $10 per member per month.

Cap is the open-source screen recorder: a native app for Mac, Windows, and Linux, local recordings with no time limit, a 4K editor, and cloud links. The links are free for personal use up to 5 minutes, and Cap Pro is $8.16 a user a month. OrgOrg's Screen Recorder records from the browser inside a suite that is free for up to 5 people. This page lays out the honest tradeoffs.

When OrgOrg is the right pick

Teams that record a walkthrough or a bug report from the browser, share a link with an audience, and discuss it on the timeline, with no app to install and no commercial license to buy. OrgOrg is the right pick when the recorder is one tool among the profiles, go links, on-call, and feedback you already run in the suite.

When Cap is the right pick

People who want a native recorder with a real editor, 4K and 60 fps export, and the code on GitHub. Teams that want AI titles, summaries, and chapters, a custom domain, and their own S3 bucket on Cap Pro. Cap is the safe pick when the recording is a product in itself, when a license per desktop fits, and when self-hosting the whole stack matters.

Where OrgOrg wins

Record a screen, a window, or a tab with a camera bubble from the browser extension in Chrome and Firefox, with no app to install and no license per desktop.
Commercial use on every plan: the free plan is for teams of up to five people, not for personal use only.
Every upload gets a link with its audience: you, specific people or groups, the org, or anyone with the link.
Comments at a moment in the video, emoji reactions, and mentions, with the discussion attached to the recording.
A team library with thumbnails, the creator, the length, and a view count, as one of 20 or more apps for one flat price.

Where Cap wins

Open source under AGPLv3, with the camera and capture crates under MIT, and self-hosting with Docker Compose and your own S3, R2, B2, MinIO, or Wasabi storage.
A native app on macOS, Windows (beta), and Linux, with Studio Mode: local recordings with no time limit, trimming, splitting, reordering, and export to MP4 or GIF at up to 4K and 60 fps.
Instant Mode: the upload runs while you record, and the link is ready when you stop.
AI titles, summaries, chapters, and transcriptions with no usage limit on Cap Pro, plus viewer analytics, password shares, and a custom domain.
A Loom importer, Google Drive storage, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 reports, HIPAA with a signed BAA, and a Chrome extension since June 2026.

How to move from Cap to OrgOrg

A screen recorder moves with the next recording, not with the archive. Cap exports every recording as an MP4, so the archive is yours; the new walkthroughs start in OrgOrg from the switch date.

Export what the team depends on. Cap exports any recording as an MP4 or a GIF on every plan. Export the videos that onboarding or a runbook points at, and let the rest stay behind their old links.
Install the OrgOrg extension. The extension records from Chrome and Firefox, and it also powers go links, Snipit, and the new tab page. There is no app to install and no license per desktop.
Record the first walkthrough. Click Screen Recorder in the toolbar popup, toggle the microphone and the camera, pick a screen, a window, or a tab, and stop. Preview, name, and upload.
Set the audience and share the link. Choose who can watch: you, specific people or groups, the org, or anyone with the link. Paste the link where the conversation is, and let the comments land on the timeline.
Replace the old links where they matter. Re-record the videos that onboarding docs and READMEs point at, and update those links. A go link such as go/onboarding-video keeps the next move to one edit.

The verdict

Cap is the better pick for a person or a team that wants a native recorder with an editor, local recordings with no limit, 4K export, and the code to run itself. Such a team buys a license per desktop or Cap Pro per user for commercial use. OrgOrg is the better pick when the recorder is one tool among many: record from the browser, share a link with an audience, discuss on the timeline, and keep the library. The suite is free for up to five people and $10 per member a month after that.
