Total Cost Of Ownership of Loom

Total Cost of Ownership comparison said:

Sure — to calculate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for Loom over 3 years, I need some details first. Loom’s cost depends on number of users, plan tier, growth, and whether you’re migrating from another tool.

📌 Sample Inputs

• Users: 100
• Annual growth: 19%
• Plan: Business (paid)
• No current migration cost
• No self-host or deployment cost

🧮 Pricing Assumptions

According to Loom’s official pricing:

• Business plan: ≈ $18 per user per month when billed monthly or roughly $15 per user per month billed annually (most commonly chosen for budgeting) Atlassian

We’ll assume annual billing for cost savings.

• Annual cost per user ≈ $15 × 12 = $180 Atlassian

📊 Year-by-Year User Count (with 19% growth)

Year	Users
Year 1	100
Year 2	119
Year 3	119 × 1.19 ≈ 141.6 → round to 142

💰 Annual Cost Calculation

Year 1

• Users: 100
• Cost/year = 100 × $180 = $18,000

Year 2

• Users: 119
• Cost/year = 119 × $180 = $21,420

Year 3

• Users: 142
• Cost/year = 142 × $180 = $25,560

📦 Total Cost of Ownership (3-Year)

👉 TCO = Year1 + Year2 + Year3

$18,000 + $21,420 + $25,560 = $64,980

📌 Summary

Category	3-Year Total
Subscription cost (Business plan)	$64,980
Migration cost	$0 (not needed)
Server / infra cost	$0 (cloud SaaS)
Other (training, admin)	Depends on internal spend

✔️ Total 3-year TCO for 100 users growing at 19% annually: approximately $64,980.

🔍 Notes

• If you pay monthly instead of annually, price per user is typically higher (around $18/month), which increases the TCO. Atlassian
• This TCO includes only subscription costs; internal costs like admin time, support, or training aren’t included.
• If you ever upgrade to Business + AI (more features), expect higher per-user pricing (~$240/yr by some pricing data). Atlassian

If you want, I can also project ROI (e.g., productivity savings) or compare Loom with competitors like Vidyard or ScreenPal.
