Overview

Arcade is a product-storytelling tool for teams creating AI-assisted videos, visuals and interactive demos. It will suit product, marketing and sales groups that need to create and share software demonstrations; smaller teams should weigh its sharply limited free publishing against the cost of adding seats.

Key features

Arcade combines a website-based Brand Kit with product context and prompt-led generation, followed by AI-assisted or manual editing. That gives teams a way to shape generated material rather than accept it as-is, while keeping demos, videos and visuals in the same creation workflow.

Videos can be exported as video or GIF, embedded on a site or shared by link. Interactive demos, collaborative editing, viewer analytics, custom branding and a sales content library extend its usefulness to teams preparing customer-facing material and tracking engagement.

Integrations include Amplitude, Clearbit, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, Intercom, Mixpanel, PostHog, Product Hunt, Salesforce, Segment and Slack. This is a broad set of analytics, product and sales tools, though the presence of an integration does not establish its depth.

Arcades are private by default to people with the unique link. Embedding or publishing can make them public, and published content may be indexed, so teams sharing sensitive material should check visibility before publishing. Creators can turn off tracking and IP collection; Arcade also says it honors browser Do Not Track settings.

Arcade says it is SOC 2 Type II compliant, encrypts stored data with AES-256 and data in transit with TLS 1.3, and does not use customer text, screenshots, video or audio to train AI models. Enterprise customers can request zero data retention. These controls may matter to teams handling customer or product material, while the Enterprise retention option is not part of the standard plans.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free and allows one user, one published demo, one published video, 200 AI credits per month and unlimited views. That is enough to try the creation and sharing workflow, but the single published item of each type and lack of AI credit top-ups make it restrictive for ongoing campaigns. The plan has one seat.

Growth costs 42.50 USD per month per seat when billed yearly; the pricing page shows $50 monthly and $42.50 yearly, a 15% yearly discount. It supports up to 10 users, unlimited published demos and AI videos, and 800 AI credits per month. This is the practical fit for teams that publish regularly, but the AI allowance remains a monthly quota. Additional Growth seats can be added for $50/month.

Enterprise has custom pricing and includes multiple teams, included seats, 100,000 AI credits per year, SSO, a dedicated CSM and a private Slack channel. It is aimed at organizations needing team-level administration and higher-tier support rather than a fixed per-seat plan.

Arcade lists a knowledge base and live chat for support; dedicated CSM support, advanced onboarding and a private Slack channel are higher-tier offerings. The pricing details do not state a trial period or paid-plan renewal terms.

Platforms

Arcade is available on the web, as an API and extension, and through macOS and Windows desktop downloads. The desktop requirements are macOS Ventura 13.0+ and Windows 10+. Users can also record and share interactive demos of iOS apps directly from a phone.

Who it's for

Arcade is strongest for product, marketing and sales teams that need one workflow for creating demos and videos, editing them collaboratively and sharing them with customers or prospects. Its analytics and CRM integrations make it relevant to teams already using the listed tools. Solo users or small teams needing several published assets on a free plan may find the caps too limiting, while organizations requiring multiple teams, SSO or dedicated support should consider Enterprise.

Pros and cons

Pro: Prompt-led generation plus manual editing gives teams control over product content instead of limiting them to generated output.
Pro: Video and GIF exports, embeds and link sharing support several ways to distribute the same content.
Pro: Growth removes the published-demo and video caps, a meaningful upgrade for teams producing content regularly.
Con: Free permits only one published demo and one published video, and its 200 monthly AI credits cannot be topped up.
Con: Growth is billed per seat, with each added seat priced at $50/month, so team expansion adds cost.
Con: Publishing or embedding can expose content publicly and published content may be indexed, requiring care with sensitive demos.

Alternatives

Choose PandaDoc instead if document workflows are the priority: its free plan allows 60 documents per year and two recipients per document. Pitch is a better fit for presentation-making, with a free plan for five members, two external guests and 10GB of storage.

Supademo is worth comparing for guided interactive demos and video recordings: its free plan allows one creator/admin, five guided demos and 50 video recordings in 4K. Storylane offers a close free-plan comparison, with one seat, one published demo, unlimited demo views, an AI content assistant and voiceovers.

For buyer-facing sales rooms, Aligned has a free Starter plan with four active rooms per seat and unlimited buyer stakeholders. Encelade is an alternative for AI-generated decks, with a free Starter plan that includes 150 credits, three decks and up to 20 pages per generation.

Intuiface is another option for interactive presentations. Navattic offers a free Starter plan with one seat, one HTML or media demo, unlimited views and basic analytics.

Verdict

Arcade is a strong choice for product, marketing and sales teams that need to create, edit and distribute interactive demos alongside video content. Its most compelling reason to choose it is the combination of prompt-led creation, manual refinement and flexible sharing; the clearest reason to look elsewhere is the free plan’s one-item publishing caps, followed by Growth’s per-seat cost for larger teams.
