  • Data collected by Uptrue's independent monitoring infrastructure

Uptime This Week

Loom 100.00% Skype 100.00% HTTP checks every 5 min · 7-day period · Uptrue independent monitoring

Both Loom and Skype maintained perfect 100% uptime throughout the week, with zero recorded incidents or downtime. This represents equivalent reliability at the headline level for enterprise collaboration needs during the monitoring period.

Response Time

Loom 98ms Skype 405ms Lower is better · Median TTFB · Excludes model inference time

Loom responded to requests in an average of 98ms, while Skype averaged 405ms—a meaningful 307ms gap. For real-time collaboration scenarios, Loom's faster response time provides a noticeably snappier user experience, though both fall within acceptable ranges for asynchronous communication tools.

Incidents & Downtime

Loom No incidents Skype No incidents Incident = 2+ consecutive failed checks · 7-day window

Neither Loom nor Skype recorded any incidents during the week of April 20, 2026. Both services maintained consistent availability with zero total downtime minutes, eliminating reliability as a differentiator during this monitoring window.

Historical Context
Collaboration tools in this category have generally demonstrated high baseline reliability over extended periods, though response time variance between providers often reflects architectural and geographic distribution differences rather than availability failures.

Which Should You Choose?

Both providers are operationally equivalent on uptime. Choose based on response time sensitivity: Loom for latency-critical workflows requiring sub-100ms interaction, or Skype if response time is less critical and integration with Microsoft's ecosystem is prioritized.

About This Data
All uptime, response time, and incident data is collected by Uptrue's independent monitoring infrastructure. HTTP checks run every 5 minutes. An incident is recorded only after 2+ consecutive failed checks. Uptrue is not affiliated with any monitored service. For corrections: reports@uptrue.io
