Why teams look beyond Arcade
Credits. AI video uses 50 credits for every 30 seconds and each AI visual uses 50, out of 200 a month on Free and 800 on Growth.
One free demo. Arcade Free publishes one interactive demo and one AI video, on one seat.
Seats and Enterprise gates. Growth is $42.50 per seat a month billed annually, extra seats are $50 a month, and HTML capture is listed on Enterprise.
Research and trust
Comparing cheapest plans tells you very little. Start from what you’ll make each month: how many demos, how many minutes of video, how many people building. Price two tools against those numbers, then trial both with a real workflow from your product. A good price only matters if the demo comes out right.
Arclet: guided demos with no credits
Arclet is the Arcade alternative for teams that only need the demo. Record a workflow with the Chrome extension, edit each step, and share a public link viewers open without logging in. One creator can publish five demos free.
Unlimited published demos and branding removal start on Starter: $29 a month, or $25 billed annually. Two people building? Team includes both for $69 a month billed annually, or $79 monthly.
Guided interactive demos with chapters and branches on every plan, and nothing metered by credits.
Watch for: No AI visuals, and HTML capture isn’t generally available yet.
Price: Free, then Starter at $25/month billed annually ($29 monthly) for one creator.

Free Arcade alternatives
Arcade’s own free plan holds one seat to one published demo and one published video, with 200 AI credits a month; whether a card is needed to start isn’t stated anywhere on the pricing page.
Two alternatives beat that cap outright. Arclet and Supademo each give one creator five published demos free, with no card required for either. Arclet adds basic analytics with 30 days of history on Free; Supademo’s free plan carries none.
Storylane and Navattic match Arcade’s one-demo cap but each includes basic analytics on Free, and Storylane adds lead capture; neither states whether a card is required. Guidde’s free plan covers 25 how-to videos with no card needed. Walnut publishes no free tier or trial at all, and HowdyGo’s only entry point is a 14-day trial.
Pick an Arcade alternative by the job
The reason you bought Arcade tells you which alternative to try first.
Clickable demos on a budget
You make walkthroughs, not videos. Arclet and Supademo both give one creator five free demos. Arclet Team includes two creators; Supademo charges for each one.
HTML demos for a sales motion
Reps need buyers to explore the product. HowdyGo includes HTML demos from Starter, Storylane adds HTML editing on Growth, and Navattic and Walnut suit larger go-to-market teams.
AI video as the main output
If the video matters more than the click-through, Guidde is built for narrated how-tos and starts free.
