Yes, this is a list of our top alternatives. We at Arcade don’t believe in competitor bashing. Some tools have strengths you might care about that are subjectively stronger than others, and that’s ok.
Although this guide can’t be 100% unbiased, below we do our best to list the top 5 Arcade alternatives based on public reviews, real customer testimonials, and the companies we often face in sales-led deals.
💡 Note: Reviews and comments are curated from public G2 reviews and customer interviews.

Our tool is the most flexible and customizable in terms of visual polish, effects, and overall user experience.
Features like HTML capture let you record your product exactly as it is in code, and creator tools help you create stunning experiences for your viewers.
Our team ships a new update every single week. Most of our competitors (like Navattic, for example) don’t have a public changelog and release a handful of new features every quarter. Check out how fast we ship features.

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.
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.”
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:

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.
“The pricing is pretty steep. I wish there was a pricing option between the free and starter plans.”
“The product is still basic. For example, there is no way to publish a draft when updating an existing demo.”
“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.”
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.

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.
“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.”
This is what happens when you try to open a Walnut demo on mobile ⤵️
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).

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

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