If your launch needs a video file for X, LinkedIn or Product Hunt, Arcade is built for that. - **AI does the first draft.** You can ask Claude or ChatGPT to build the video through Arcade MCP, and there are templates such as article to video. - **One price for a team.** Pro covers up to 10 seats. You pay for credits, not for each person who makes videos. ## Where Supademo wins - **Viewers click through the product themselves.** That is the core of Supademo, and it suits help docs, onboarding and sales follow-ups where people want to try the flow. - **Cheaper for one person.** Scale is $38 a creator a month on the yearly plan, and the free plan gives you 5 interactive demos with no credit count to watch. - **More ways to share.** The free plan already shares as a link, an embed, a video or a PDF. - **Room to grow into sales demos.** Business adds HTML demos and Growth adds sandbox demos, if your sales team needs them later. ## Which one fits? - You want a launch or social video you can post: Arcade. - You want a demo people click through on your site, in docs or after a sales call: Supademo. - You want both and it's just you: start on Supademo's free plan, and try Arcade's free credits for the video. Both have free plans, so testing costs nothing but time. ## Neither? Have the video made for you Arcade and Supademo both expect you to record, cut and polish the demo yourself. If launch week is already full, a done-for-you service fits better. Swoopcut films the [launch video of your app](https://swoopcut.com/) in a real browser at 60 fps, from a link, a test login and one line on what to show. You get a watermarked preview within 48 hours of working access. If the video isn't usable, you don't pay. - The [Launch Clip](https://swoopcut.com/#pricing) is $149 for one 20 to 45 second clip with captions and a thumbnail. - The [Launch Pack](https://swoopcut.com/#pricing) is $399 for 3 clips in 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16. Swoopcut only films web apps that open in Chrome. It doesn't make interactive demos, so if click-through is what you need, use Supademo or Arcade. ## Common questions ### Is Arcade or Supademo cheaper? For one person, Supademo.
