Why teams look beyond Walnut
The entry plan is a bundle. Ignite is $575 a month billed annually and comes with three Editor and three Presenter seats, whether or not anyone presents.
Personalization and sandboxes sit one plan up. Both start on Accelerate, $1,550 a month billed annually.
Branding and AI both have limits on Ignite. White labeling is an add-on, and AI features pause when the yearly credit pool runs out unless you top up.
Research and trust
Split your team into people who build demos and people who only share or present them. Walnut prices both. The tools below charge per seat, per creator or per workspace, so price the builders first. Then trial one on a real demo of your product and have a presenter use it on a call before you decide live presenting needs a platform.
Arclet: demos buyers open on their own
Arclet is the Walnut alternative for teams whose demos run without a presenter. 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 anyone opens from a public link, with branding removal from Starter.
Watch for: No personalization, playlists, or live presenting, and HTML capture isn’t generally available yet.

Free Walnut alternatives
Walnut publishes no free tier or trial of any kind — every plan starts at a quote, and Ignite is the first with a listed price, at $575 a month billed annually. If a free start matters, look at the guided-demo tools on this page instead.
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, where Supademo’s free plan has none. Arcade’s free plan holds one demo and one AI video, and its card requirement isn’t published. Storylane’s free plan captures leads and includes basic analytics on one demo; Navattic’s free Starter also includes basic analytics on one demo, and neither states whether a card is required. HowdyGo has no free plan, only a 14-day trial with no card required. Reprise’s “build your first demo free” page states no duration or limits, so it isn’t a comparable free plan either.
Pick a Walnut alternative by the job
Walnut is built for presales. Most teams leaving it were using a smaller part of it.
Self-serve demos on the website
Demos a buyer opens alone, from a link or an embed. Arclet does this free for five demos; Supademo and Arcade are the other free plans worth a try.
Editable HTML demos on a mid-size budget
You want HTML editing but not a $575-a-month floor. HowdyGo Starter covers unlimited users; Storylane Growth covers five seats with A/B testing.
Presales that demos live
SEs present on calls and personalize per deal. Put Navattic Growth and a Reprise quote next to Walnut Accelerate for the same team.
