Supademo sells page HTML capture from $249 a month, where Arcade keeps it for Enterprise.

Where Arcade is the better choice
A voice on the free plan. Arcade's free demo can carry an AI voiceover. On Supademo that needs Scale.
Windows. Arcade's Windows desktop app launched in February 2026. Supademo's is in beta and captures screenshots only.
You also want marketing videos. Arcade's main product now builds a video from a description. It is a separate subscription, but one login.
Where Supademo is the better choice
More for nothing. Five demos is enough to cover a small product. One is enough to try the tool.
HTML capture without a sales call. HTML demos let you edit the text and data on a captured page. Supademo lists them at $249 a month. Arcade moved them to Enterprise in May 2026.
Sharper exports. A Supademo exports as MP4 up to 4K. Arcade's demo exports stop at 720p and 24 frames a second.
An assistant that edits demos. Supademo's MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor edit, translate and share demos. Arcade's docs say its server cannot create or edit interactive demos.
Training formats. Both turn a demo into a step-by-step guide. Supademo also exports a SCORM package for a training system, on any plan.
Keeping demos current
Both replace steps by hand today. In Supademo, swapping a step's screenshot updates every embed and link.
Both have also announced agents that do the re-recording. Arcade announced its Auto-update Agent on December 3, 2025. Its post still points to a waitlist, and its docs do not describe the agent. Supademo's agentic recording page calls it "an upcoming Supademo feature" and takes requests for early access.
What each one costs
Arcade's Growth plan is $50 per seat a month, or $510 a seat billed yearly, for up to 10 seats. Above that is Enterprise, at a custom price.
Supademo has more steps on the ladder. Scale is $50 per creator a month, or $38 billed yearly. Business is $249 a month, or $199 billed yearly, for the first creator. Growth is $450, or $350 billed yearly, with 5 creators. Enterprise starts at 10 creators.
For three people on the entry plan billed yearly, that is $127.50 a month on Arcade and $114 on Supademo.
Which should you pick
If you want interactive demos and nothing else, Supademo is the safer choice in November 2026. It gives more away, sells HTML capture at a listed price, and demos are still its main product.
If you want AI voiceover on a free demo, need the Windows app, or plan to make AI marketing videos too, Arcade fits better.
Both make demos people click. If what you need is a narrated video of the product that a coding agent records, and records again when the product changes, that is a different tool: see tday vs Arcade and tday vs Supademo.
