Question 1

Why choose Shiken over Loom?

Accepted Answer

Loom is built for quick async video messages and, with Loom AI for Meetings, can also send a notetaker to your Zoom, Meet and Teams calls. Shiken does both jobs and keeps going: it records screen and camera Loom-style, captures live meetings with a bot or bot-free, scores every conversation against custom coaching rubrics, and turns every recording into microlearning, flashcards, AI roleplays or a SCORM package for your LMS.

Question 2

Can Shiken replace Loom for async video messaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shiken records your screen, camera and microphone, auto-captions the result, lets you trim and brand the video, then shares via a public link, embed, Slack, Teams or SMS, which covers the core Loom workflows. The same recording engine also captures live meetings and feeds directly into your learning platform.

Question 3

Does Shiken have a video editor like Loom’s?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shiken includes a video editor: trim, split, add auto-generated captions, overlay your brand, remove filler words, and export as a clip, SCORM module or shareable link. Loom’s editor offers trimming, stitching, captions in 50+ languages and, on its AI plans, filler-word removal. Loom’s published materials do not describe SCORM export or turning videos into courseware as of October 2026.

Question 4

How does Shiken turn videos into training content?

Accepted Answer

Any recording, whether an async update, a product walkthrough or a customer call, can be converted in a click into a microlearning module with embedded quiz questions, a flashcard deck, a new AI roleplay scenario, or a SCORM package for your LMS. Shiken captures once and creates everywhere.

Question 5

What about live meeting recording?

Accepted Answer

Both record live meetings. Loom AI for Meetings joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls as a visible Notetaker and, on its AI plans, emails a summary and action items. Shiken offers the same bot-based capture plus bot-free capture via computer audio, and adds transcripts with speaker labels, coaching scores and shareable clips from every meeting alongside your async video library.

Question 6

Can teams use Shiken for coaching the way they use Loom for feedback?

Accepted Answer

Shiken is built around coaching. Every recording, async or live, can be scored against a custom rubric such as a sales methodology, communication framework or compliance checklist, and linked to targeted AI roleplays for practice. Loom supports comments, reactions and tasks on videos; structured coaching or scorecards are not described in its published materials as of October 2026.

Question 7

Does Shiken integrate with the tools Loom does?

Accepted Answer

Shiken integrates with Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce and Zapier (4,000+ apps), plus your LMS via SCORM and xAPI, and you can embed Shiken videos in any website as you would a Loom. Loom lists Google Workspace, Slack, Salesforce, Figma, Jira and hundreds of other tools.

Question 8

How does pricing compare?

Accepted Answer

Both publish pricing and both have a free plan. Loom’s pricing page lists Starter at $0 (25 videos, 5-minute recordings), Business at $18 and Business + AI at $24 per user per month, with Enterprise by quote. Shiken’s paid tiers include video recording, the meeting recorder, AI coaching, roleplays and the learning platform in one subscription. If you would pair Loom with an LMS and a coaching tool, compare that combined cost with Shiken on your own seat count.
