Unlike most resources you’ll find online, we won’t give you a list of Vidyard alternatives that are almost all the same. 

This guide is more exhaustive. We’ve consolidated the very best solutions for each type of video category. It’ll help you pick the best solution based on what you care most for you and your team. 

For example ⤵️

📹 Loom is the top pick if you want very similar features.

🤝 Sendspark is a popular alternative for sales uses like video outreach.

📺 Veed is a fantastic option if you want to do more editing.

🤖 And Synthesia is a new option to create videos entirely with AI.

Below, we cover these in detail and offer guidance as to why you may consider each platform over Vidyard (this includes key features, pricing breakdown, drawbacks, and public reviews). 

Let’s dive in, shall we? ⤵️ 

3 reasons to consider interactive content over videos

Before we get to our list, as Growth expert Andrew Capland recently mentioned on LinkedIn, it's worth noting that there’s an interactive demo movement in software. More teams are transitioning away from product marketing video content for interactive demos. 

Also, Vidyard does have some valuable strengths. Unlike alternatives like Loom, Vidyards’ editing, personalization, and analytics capabilities are superior.

Reason 1 → Interactive demos convert better 

Based on Vidyard’s own analysis of 1.7M+ videos, the average video conversion rate is 3.21%. We’ve done our own analysis of 20,000+ published interactive demos, and the average conversion rate (CTR) is 23%, or 7.2x higher! 

In a nutshell, interactive content drives more engagement and increases conversion. 

Reason 2 → It’s faster to create interactive content than video content

Well, that depends on the type of content you want to produce. 

Sometimes, a simple screen-sharing video is the quickest way to share product walkthrough content, but it’s limited. 

What we’ve heard from our customers like Glide is that combining video content with interactive demos not only drives more engagement but saves a ton of time.

Reason 3 → Interactive demos are effortless to iterate and scale

Need to modify a video after it’s been publicly shared? The only solution is to rerecord it, which is a pain. Interactive content offers more insights and can be edited after they’re live (with HTML editing). Meaning you can quickly iterate with your best-performing assets. Here’s an example 👇
