A free demo can be enough to test a landing page. The price changes when three people need to edit it, sales wants personalized versions, or the team needs an interactive HTML capture instead of screenshots.
Interactive demo software ranges from free plans to paid subscriptions and custom enterprise contracts. Start with the demo format and the number of people who need to create or edit, then check integrations, AI usage, and the billing commitment. A low starting price only helps if that plan supports the workflow you intend to run.
Prices below were checked against official vendor pages on October 31, 2026. Dollar amounts exclude tax. Plan details and prices can change; confirm the checkout or quote before buying.
Interactive demo pricing at a glance
This table compares publicly listed entry points, not equivalent bundles. Annual amounts are monthly equivalents billed annually where stated.
| Product | Free starting point | Paid entry point | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Navattic | One seat, one HTML or media demo, unlimited views | Base and Growth are billed annually; request current pricing | Base includes five seats; verify the current quote and desired integrations |
| Storylane | One seat, one published demo, unlimited views | Starter: $50/month monthly or $40/month billed annually | Starter uses screenshots and video; Growth adds HTML and includes five seats |
| Arcade | One published demo, unlimited views | Growth: $50 per seat/month monthly or $42.50 per seat/month billed annually | Check the interactive demo plan separately from its AI video subscription |
| Supademo | One creator, five guided demos, unlimited views | Scale: $50 per creator/month monthly or $38 per creator/month billed annually | Guided HTML starts on Business; sandbox demos start on Growth |
| Userorbit | Check current trial availability | Scale: $293/month monthly or $249/month billed annually | Demos are included alongside other product workflows; Growth does not include demos |
The buying rule: Compare the lowest plan that actually supports your capture format and team, not just each vendor's cheapest plan. Userorbit's Scale price buys a broader platform, so it is not a like-for-like demo-only subscription.
What determines the price?
1. Who creates and maintains demos?
Some vendors charge per creator or seat; others bundle a number of seats into a plan. Count the people who capture screens, edit flows, update copy, or publish demos. Then ask whether reviewers and salespeople who only share links need paid seats.
For example, Supademo Scale is priced per creator, while Storylane Starter includes one seat and lists additional seats at $40 each. Confirm the billing period and whether unused seats can be removed before renewal. A five-seat bundle can be useful to a team of five and expensive for a team of one.
2. Do you need screenshots, HTML, or a sandbox?
Screenshot demos guide a viewer through a sequence of captured screens. HTML demos can allow more extensive editing of captured content, while sandbox demos may support a more exploratory experience. The labels and capabilities vary by vendor, so test the interactions you need rather than assuming all HTML or sandbox demos behave alike.
On Supademo, guided HTML begins at Business, listed at $199/month on annual billing; Growth, listed at $350/month on annual billing, adds sandbox demos. Storylane lists HTML on its Growth plan. The upgrade for the right capture format may matter more than the price of another seat.
3. How many demos must be live?
A free plan may allow unlimited views but only one published demo. That can work for a single homepage walkthrough, but not for separate sales, onboarding, and feature-launch flows. Ask whether the limit applies to live demos, drafts, workspaces, or the total created, and what happens to embedded demos if you downgrade.
4. What happens when people view or use AI?
Unlimited views are common in the free plans compared above, but do not assume every vendor or feature is unlimited. Check visitor limits, lead capture, account identification, data retention, and whether analytics or exports change at higher usage.
AI usage can have its own allowance or add-on. Storylane lists monthly AI credits by plan, while Supademo lists its AI Demo Agent separately from the core demo platform. Ask what consumes credits, whether unused credits expire, and what happens when the team runs out. Check generation, edits, translations, voice, and agent conversations separately.
5. Which features force a higher plan?
Map the features you need to the first plan that includes each one. Common upgrade triggers include custom branding and domains, CRM integrations, personalization, branching, lead capture, advanced analytics, SSO, audit logs, and support. An integration listed on a pricing page may still require a particular plan or a paid account with the connected service.
For a sales-led team, ask whether the demo can identify accounts, capture leads, route notifications, and connect engagement to a CRM. For product teams, ask whether you can reuse the experience in help content, announcements, and onboarding without rebuilding it.
6. What are the contract and operating costs?
Annual billing can lower the monthly equivalent but commits more cash upfront. Ask about minimum seats, onboarding fees, extra workspaces, overages, renewal increases, cancellation notice, and data export. A custom quote should spell out each line and the renewal term.
Budget for internal work too: capturing a flow, reviewing private data, updating changed screens, translating content, and checking broken embeds all take time. A cheaper subscription is not necessarily cheaper to maintain.
What might different teams pay?
These are illustrative starting points, not quotes. They exclude tax, add-ons, implementation, and any discounts beyond the listed annual billing. Verify eligibility and checkout totals.
| Situation | Example starting cost | What could change it |
|---|---|---|
| One founder testing one live demo | $0 on Navattic, Storylane, or Arcade's listed free plan | More live demos, branding, editing needs, or advanced analytics |
| One creator publishing multiple screenshot demos | Storylane Starter at $50/month monthly or $40/month billed annually; Supademo Scale at $50/month monthly or $38/month billed annually | Additional creators, AI usage, integrations, or HTML capture |
| Five creators needing guided HTML | Supademo Growth at $350/month billed annually, with five creators included; Storylane Growth at $500/month billed annually, with five seats included | Confirm feature fit, contract, extra seats, AI, and integration costs |
| Team connecting demos with onboarding and support | Userorbit Scale at $249/month billed annually, with 10,000 MAUs listed | Confirm actual usage, demo limits, billing, and any add-ons with Userorbit |
Five creators do not automatically need the same capabilities or permissions across products. Test an actual workflow and ask for a written quote for your usage before comparing the totals.
When is a free plan enough?
Use a free plan when one person can maintain the demo and the live-demo and branding limits fit the campaign. Test the embed, mobile experience, lead capture, and update process before publishing it widely.
Pay when a restriction blocks a real job: more than one live demo, more authors, a required integration, or a different capture format. If you need a product tour inside an existing application rather than a self-contained pre-sales experience, compare the formats first in our demo vs. tour guide.
How should you choose between a demo tool and a broader platform?
A dedicated demo product can be a good fit when your priority is sophisticated sales demonstrations, personalized buyer journeys, or a particular capture and editing workflow. Test its integrations and sharing experience with the people who will use it.
Consider Userorbit's interactive demos when your team also wants to connect demos with onboarding, announcements, feedback, help, and support. Scale includes these broader capabilities, but a team that only needs one demo should compare its full cost and feature fit against a focused tool. For a wider comparison, see our interactive demo software guide.

Frequently asked questions
How much does interactive demo software cost?
The vendors compared here offer free entry plans, while listed paid starting prices range from tens to hundreds of dollars per month depending on the product and billing term. The plan that fits your team may cost more than the entry tier.
Do interactive demo tools charge per viewer?
Not always. Several vendors in this comparison list unlimited views on their free plans. Check the specific plan for other usage limits, lead capture, analytics, and AI features.
Is HTML capture worth paying for?
It can be useful if you need to edit captured content or present a more interactive experience. If a guided screenshot flow answers the buyer's question, test that first and compare the time and plan cost before upgrading.
Is an annual subscription always cheaper?
Annual plans often have a lower monthly equivalent, but require a longer commitment. Compare the full annual invoice with monthly billing, including seats and add-ons, and ask about renewal terms.
Can one demo serve sales and onboarding?
Sometimes. The audiences may need different context, calls to action, and analytics. Check whether the tool supports separate versions and whether maintaining them requires additional seats or published-demo capacity.
