Arcade is a polished platform with desktop and Figma capture, AI features, and a broad set of publishing tools. Its free plan and paid tiers make sense for teams that need that scope; Demonstratio is aimed at teams that want a smaller workflow.
Demonstratio is in development
Side by side
Arcade's rows come from its own pricing page. Demonstratio's entries describe the current product scope.
| Arcade | Demonstratio | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 1 published demo, 1 published video, 1 seat, 200 AI credits a month, watermarked. | Planned: a free tier with more than one publishable demo and privacy controls included. |
| Blur on the free tier | No — blur is listed among the premium features, alongside autoplay, pan and zoom, branching, CTAs, forms, and translations. | Blur and redact are core editor tools, not a plan feature. |
| Watermark | On free. Removed on Growth. | A "Made with Demonstratio" link exists in the player and is controlled per workspace. How it maps to plans is not decided. |
| AI | Metered. 200 credits a month on free, 800 on Growth, 100,000 a year on Enterprise. | No AI features in the initial product, so there are no AI credits to manage. |
| Video and GIF export | MP4 and GIF export are Growth features. | MP4 at 720p or 1080p, rendered in the browser via WebCodecs, with per-slide timing. No GIF. |
| Branching | Demo branching is included on Growth. | Not supported. |
| Capture | Chrome extension, desktop app, and a Figma plugin. | Chrome extension only, plus image upload for steps you cannot record. Steps keep the real screen, so you can edit the wording on one later. |
| Seats | Growth is per seat, up to 10 included; additional seats are $150 a month each. | Four roles with email invites. Pricing not set; the intent is flat rather than per-seat. |
Arcade details from arcade.software/pricing, checked August 2026. Feature availability changes; check their page before deciding.
Arcade's free plan gives you one published demo, one published video, and a watermark. You can edit up to three, but only one goes live. That gives you a way to evaluate the editor without a time limit, but publishing capacity is limited to one demo.
AI credits scale with the plan: 200 a month free, 800 on Growth, 100,000 a year on Enterprise. If you use those features, the credit model gives you a predictable allowance. If you do not, you are still choosing a plan that includes them. Demonstratio does not include AI features in its initial product, so there are no AI credits to manage.
From their pricing page, checked August 2026. Demonstratio is still in development, so exact prices are not available yet.
| Tool | Free tier | Entry plan | 3 people / month |
|---|---|---|---|
| ArcadeInteractive demo platform | 1 published demo, 1 published video, 200 AI credits/mo, 1 seat, watermarked | Growth — $50/mo ($42.50/mo annual), per seat, up to 10 seats | $127.503 seats at the $42.50 annual rate. |

We build Demonstratio, so this comparison is not independent. Here are the capabilities you will not find in it today—and where Arcade may be the better fit.
No AI-generated scripts, voiceovers, translations, or cloned voices.
No branching or multi-path demos. Each demo follows one path from start to finish.
No personalization variables for addressing viewers by company or account name.
No PDF, GIF, or image export. MP4 is the only export format.
No native CRM connectors. Integrations are limited to outbound webhooks for now.
No custom domains at launch.
No live sandbox of your product. A demo replays the screens you captured, along one path.
Capture is Chrome-extension only — no desktop, mobile, or Figma capture.
The product is still in development, so there is no signup or trial yet.
Some of these are intentional product decisions; others are simply not built yet. If you need one of these capabilities today, Arcade is the better choice.
