3. Arcade is the easiest to scale 

Glide published 316 Arcades in their first 4 months. Our platform is built so that everyone can create their own interactive demos, and our integrations and analytics allow for data to flow to your systems and improvements to be made as you ramp up production. 

The 5 most popular Arcade alternatives you can consider

1. Navattic

Public reviews: 4.7 ⭐ (G2)

Similar to: Storylane

Typical users: Product and marketing teams.

Best for: HTML-based pre/post edits.

What is Navattic?

Navattic is a demo automation platform designed to create interactive, no-code product demos that improve engagement and help drive conversions.

It’s best known for converting screen captures into editable HTML components. 

Navattic’s downside is that the recording process is cumbersome, and design options are limited.

Key differences between Navattic and Arcade

• Breadth of customization: Arcade offers way more design flexibility than Navattic when it comes to on-brand components and interactive elements. Navattic focuses efforts on the experience its customers. We focus on efforts on the experience for your customers, because that’s what drives results for you. 
• Speed: Arcade does not require implementation time, while Navattic’s implementation is 2 weeks, on average. Creating an Arcade takes about 6 minutes (avg), whereas in Navattic, it’s about an hour (based on customer interviews). 
• Price: Arcade’s entry-level paid plan has a minimum of $600 per year. Navattic’s minimum is 10x that, at $6,000 per year.

Why do people pick Navattic?

• HTML: Up until Arcade’s latest update, Navattic had the best HTML/CSS captures and editing. HTML editing lets you blur sections or add text, change the data shown to viewers, and more.
• Recognized platform: Navattic is trusted by hundreds of SaaS companies. Their GTM team does a great job at creating awareness for the brand and driving new customers. 
• Sandboxes: Navattic allows for the creation of sandbox environments that viewers can play with without “breaking”. It allows for further exploration without requiring the real product. Arcade does not offer sandboxes.

What do people dislike about Navattic? 

Many customers mention the clunkyness of Navattic’s interface: 

“UI could be improved (some things not as intuitive), mobile view still seems to be very clunky. Web capture edits don't always apply. Would be helpful if we could choose specifically where the tooltips go on a web capture. Full view for demos are great but would be nice if there were more mobile view options that don't require manually recreating a new tour (i.e like Arcade)”

“Initially setting up each demo in Navattic can be a bit fiddly.”

“As with all software, sometimes the UX isn't quite right. It's not the best but it certainly is not the worst. Depending on what the job is, creating a demo can be a little tedious.”

Limited customization is a frequent complaint:

“While Navattic offers powerful features for creating demos, there is room for enhancement in user interface customization options and integration capabilities. Improving these aspects would offer users greater flexibility to seamlessly integrate demo content into their sales processes.”

How much does Navattic cost compare to Arcade?

Navattic and Arcade’s pricing both increase based on usage and specific feature sets. Navattic is considered more expensive and inflexible when compared to Arcade.

The platform does not offer monthly plans. Teams have to choose between annual and quarterly contracts: 

• Base: $600/month for unlimited usage and some premium features.
• Growth: $1,200/month to unlock all premium features
• Enterprise: Custom price for hands-on support, audit logs, and offline demos.

2. Storylane

Public reviews: 4.8 ⭐ (G2)

Similar to: Navattic

Typical users: Marketing and product teams

Best for: Integration with existing GTM systems

What is Storylane?

Storylane is a popular interactive demo platform known for its 3,000+ integrations and ease of use. 

It doesn’t have the design and personalization features that Arcade has, but is a solid option nonetheless.

Since most Storylane tours are built with screenshots, it sometimes doesn’t feel like viewers are engaging with the actual product.

Key differences between Storylane and Arcade

• Integrations: Storylane has 3000+ integrations, whereas Arcade has a handful of native ones.
• Recording quality: Storylane has recording limitations (like not being able to set a screen above 800h when capturing), and low resolution. Arcade is know for flawlessly capturing all screen sizes and resolutions. 
• Shared demo libraries: Storylane is know for demo hubs, while Arcades are often embedded directly into websites or used through navigable collections.

Why do people pick Storylane?

• It’s simple: Although Storylane doesn not have the customization range that Arcade has when it comes to viewer experience, it is very simple for someone to create a demo in Storylane. 
• Range: Customers appreciate the ability to capture demos, create sandboxes, and launch demo hubs.
• Customization options like time delays: In Storylane, you can add custom timing on screens that have no action, which you can’t yet do in Arcade.

What do people dislike about Storylane?

• Add-ons quickly increase costs: 

“The pricing is pretty steep. I wish there was a pricing option between the free and starter plans.”

• Frequent online reviews mention how the UX needs time to get used to:

• Many users report limited customization options: 

“The product is still basic. For example, there is no way to publish a draft when updating an existing demo.”

• HTML editing is not on par with other players like Arcade and Navattic. For example, unlike Arcade and Navattic, there is no ability to blur parts of the information on screen.  

“Some of the screen capturing has been difficult with the HTML but their engineers are quick off the mark to ensure it gets working again.”

How much does Storylane cost compare to Arcade?

Storylane is a little bit more expensive than Arcade at face value, but the real difference lies in how pricing plans scale. Storylane’s cost goes up quite significantly as you start leveraging add-ons and premium features at scale. 

• Free: one creator, one published demo, and basic features. 

• Starter Plan ($40/month per creator): 1 seat, unlimited demos, AI voiceover assistance, basic lead capture, and basic integrations. 

• Growth Plan ($500/month for 5 creators): All features of the Starter plan, plus HTML demo editor, demo personalization with tokens, custom lead forms, 10+ integrations, and advanced viewer analytics.

• Premium Plan ($1200/month): All features of the Growth plan, plus custom seats, offline demos, demo coaching, SSO, Salesforce integration, and a white label demo URL.

3. Walnut

Public reviews: 4.7 ⭐ (G2)

Similar to: Storylane

Typical users: Product and marketing teams.

Best for: HTML-based pre/post edits.

What is Walnut?

Walnut is an interactive demo platform that replicates your product’s code into interactive steps, mainly through its Chrome Extension. 

It’s best known for converting screen captures into editable HTML components, and for its wide range of sandbox options for sales teams. 

Walnut’s downsides are a steep learning curve, limited value non-sales teams, and expensive price. Arcade’s video capabilities are much more advanced than Walnut’s. 

Key differences between Walnut and Arcade

• 1:1 vs 1:many: Walnut demos are often aimed at one account or one prospect. Arcades are meant to be created once, then personalized to specific audiences. 
• Non-guided vs guided demos: You can’t have “un-guided” and “guided” demos together in a Walnut sandbox. Arcade, on the other hand, combines autoplays, video steps, and click-through steps for a more flexible experience.
• Demo insights: Walnut aims to keep sales teams inside the Walnut platform with “deal insights”, while Arcade is optimized to sync demo analytics to “source-of-truth” applications like Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, etc. 
• Sales-only vs GTM-agnostic: Walnut is tailored for sales use cases only. The software has been built to support sales through the demo process, whereas Arcade is agnostic to Marketing, Sales and Product teams.

Why do people pick Walnut?

• DOM editing: The ability for sales reps to edit sandboxes in real-time is really advanced in Walnut. This makes it easy for reps to tailor tours and demos with a realistic copy of the product that has “dummy” data.
• Flexibility in sandboxing : Walnut customers keep reporting how flexible the sandboxing is for sales teams.

• Full-funnel solution: For sales teams, Walnut offers a demo solution that can support the entire funnel, from unassisted product tours to live demos. 

What do people dislike about Walnut? 

• Steep learning curve (a lot of G2 reviews about this): 

“Getting started was a little tricky and we had some delays in the storylines we were demo-ing, which gave the impression that the product was running slowly”

“There are a lot of features and I didn’t understand the storyline component initially. I had to contact support for a bit of a walkthrough.”

• There is a risk associated with “live” demos. They can break and cause prospects to doubt the effectiveness of your product. 
• Walnut is expensive (starting at $9,200 annually). Especially when considering that the platform has limited value for marketing and product teams.
• Mobile demos often don’t work: 

This is what happens when you try to open a Walnut demo on mobile ⤵️

How much does Walnut cost compare to Arcade?

Walnut requires significant investment at implementation, while you can scale Arcade cost as you add users and publish new demos. 

Walnut’s Lite plan will cost you $9,200 per year plus add-ons, and includes all features except the Salesforce integration. 

The Pro plan costs $20,000 per year plus add-ons and includes dedicated support and the platform’s Salesforce integration. 

💡 Note: Expect to pay extra for features like Offline demos, white label, and translations (all of which are included in Arcade’s plans).

4. Reprise

Public reviews: 4.4 ⭐ (G2)

Similar to: Demostack

Typical users: Sales managers

Best for: Cloning products into a sandbox environment

What is Reprise?

Reprise is an enterprise demo platform designed to help sales, marketing, and presales teams create interactive, customized product demos that enhance buyer engagement.

It lacks the flexibility and ease of use of platforms like Arcade and Navattic but excels at recreating product environments and capturing sales leads (something Arcade is also great at).

Key differences between Reprise and Arcade

• Usability: Anyone can easily create Arcades in minutes with either the Chrome extension, HTML capture, or manual uploads. Reprise requires significant learning, experiments, and hands-on support.
• Sales-focused vs GTM-focused: Reprise aims to serve sales teams. Arcade is used by sales, marketing, and product teams across the customer journey. Reprise has more live-demo options and sandbox features, like “leave-behinds”.
• Enterprise vs all-sizes: Reprise is tailored for large enterprise companies that want and need hands-on support. Arcade is built to serve small teams who want to get started by themselves, as well as large businesses (like Zapier).

Why do people pick Reprise?

• Full suite of tools: Reprise offers Reveal, Replay, and Replicate. They appeal to both product and marketing teams that want to create demos and sales teams that need sandboxes and POC environments.
• Data studio: Reprise enables data injection and deep customization of demos, allowing users to personalize product demos for different verticals or user personas. 
• Enterprise-ready: It’s also tailored to the enterprise with solid security and accessibility features. This comes with a spicy pricetag, however.

Why do people dislike about Reprise?

• Improvements are stalling:

“We were an early customer of Reprise; unfortunately, the platform has only become more unusable quarter by quarter.”

• There are countless customers complain about the UX:

“The time commitment associated with building a reprise tour is pretty substantial. Due to this, it can be daunting even to start one. Additionally, this requires an in-depth knowledge of the product, so folks who aren't on product/product marketing teams will probably have some difficulty building out the tours.”

• It’s too expensive for what’s included: 

“I find myself wishing it had more features that helped with end to end top of funnel tracking for SDR ,BDR etc. I'm looking at Consensus for this but really hoping I don't need to go there because I like Reprise's tech a lot better. It's low maintenance and reduces the cost of updating assets like these significantly.” 

How much does Reprise cost compared to Arcade?

Reprise does not provide specific pricing details directly on its website, as its pricing depends on factors like the number of users and the customization required. 

Based on customer interviews, it’s clear that Reprise is one of the most expensive interactive demo platforms on the market. Arcade is much more affordable and flexible. 

💡 Pricing Limitations: Minimum commitments and setup fees.

5. Tourial

Public reviews: 4.6 ⭐ (G2)

Similar to: Walnut

Typical users: Product marketers.

Best for: Multi-channel demos

What is Tourial?

Tourial is an interactive demo platform for teams with more straightforward needs that want to embed demos everywhere. 

The product suite focuses on interactive tours and demo centers for go-to-market teams.

It’s a good option, but the platform has been losing steam against more modern competitors (Arcade, Navattic, Supademo). 

Key differences between Tourial and Arcade

• Curated playlists: Tourial’s "TourPlayer" feature enables creating demo playlists for specific audience segments. Arcade collections and personalization features focus on dynamic personalization rather than static libraries.
• Recording options: Tourtial emphasizes screenshots, while Arcade leads with Chrome Extension and HTML capture.
• “On-brand” vs basic design settings: Arcade’s demos completely encapsulate your real product experience and brand feel. Tourial’s design settings are limited to things like colours and fonts. 

Why do companies pick Tourial?

• Easy for simple uses: Getting the hang of Tourial is pretty easy for sales and marketing teams. Where things get difficult is when users try to add complex customization (like page morphs and pan & zoom).

What do people dislike about Tourial?

The most common complaints are about the clunky UX and lack of features: 

“The most frustrating things though are that when you take a screenshot or a video with the extension it does not always upload to my tour in Tourial. I always have to open a new tour when I add a new screenshot and then I have multiple tabs with draft tours that don't always save.”

“Working with the Chrome extension hit and miss - I often encounter bugs or quirks when uploading screen capture. Limited video editing.”

The mobile experience is not on par with other similar platforms:

How much does Tourial cost compare to Arcade?

The short: Arcade and Tourial are both affordable solutions. Tourial’s pricing is more opaque and custom, with add-ons for advanced features and analytics support. 

Each plan includes: 

• Basic → Interactive tours, standard integrations (HubSpot, Zapier, Slack), and group training. 
• Growth → Advanced integrations (Salesforce, Marketo), multi-team management, demo centers, SSO, and 1-hour personalized training. 
• Enterprise → Personalized training, and CSM support. 

💰 Demo Center is available as an add-on for $500/mo. 

Why people choose Arcade

Zapier chose Arcade because traditional solutions—such as static graphics or embedded videos—fell short. Videos were too heavy for the fast-paced top-of-funnel audience, and static content lacked the interactivity needed to hold attention. Other platforms didn’t have the video capabilities that Arcade has. 

Labelbox evaluated other interactive demo platforms and chose Arcade for several reasons, including its cost-effectiveness in testing and refining a robust demo strategy without overextending their budget. 

"Arcade is the tool that enables people to maximize their creativity to showcase and distribute product value."

Wrike picked Arcade over competitors because it provided the most flexible, easy-friendly, and affordable solution that the Wrike team could scale quickly and experiment with. 

“Arcade really enabled us to cut down the time needed to create assets. One of the blockers we had previously was team capacity to build these tours and experiences. Now, I can do all the heavy lifting in creating the demo environments and the experiences I want to showcase and really go on from there.”
