Prices start at $149. > - If you want a demo you edit often, or one visitors click through, Supademo is the better pick. If you need one polished video for a launch and have no time to make it, Swoopcut fits better. We run Swoopcut, so keep that in mind as you read. Supademo's facts come from its own pricing page, checked 20 October 2026. ## Should you build your demo yourself or have it filmed? Build it yourself if you will keep changing it. Supademo is made for that. You capture your app, edit the steps, and share the result as a link, an embed, a video or a PDF. Fixing a typo costs you five minutes, and you never wait on anyone. Have it filmed if the demo is a one-off moment, such as a launch. With Swoopcut you send a link to your app, a test login for a demo account and one line on what to show. We film it in a real browser and send a watermarked preview within 48 hours of working access. ## Swoopcut vs Supademo at a glance | | Supademo | Swoopcut | |---|---|---| | What it is | Self-serve tool for interactive demos and video recordings | Done-for-you launch video | | Price on 20 Oct 2026 | Free, then $50 a creator a month ($38 on the yearly plan) | $149 a clip, $399 for 3, $249 a month | | Who builds it | You | We do | | What you get | Link, embed, video or PDF | Video files in 16:9, plus 1:1 and 9:16 in the Launch Pack | | What it records | Your own app, captured by you | Web apps that open in Chrome | | When you pay | Free plan first, then monthly | After a watermarked preview (Always Fresh: monthly) | | Fixes | As many as you like, done by you | 1 round on the Launch Clip, 2 per clip on the Launch Pack | ## Where Supademo wins - Price for light use.

No one else has to act first. - Interactive demos. Visitors can click through a Supademo demo at their own pace. A Swoopcut video plays start to finish and cannot be clicked. - Team features. Paid plans add collaborators, analytics and tracking links. Swoopcut makes video files and does not offer these. ## Where Swoopcut wins - No building or editing. You don't pick the steps, rehearse or tidy the edit. We film the [launch video of your app](https://swoopcut.com/) at 60 fps, with smooth zooms that follow every click. - You see it before you pay. If the video isn't usable, you don't pay. - A finished film for posting. Every Swoopcut clip is directed and cut before it reaches you. The [Launch Pack](https://swoopcut.com/#pricing) comes in 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16, plus social cuts, with captions and a thumbnail for each size. - No monthly seat. The Launch Clip is a one-off $149, with no plan to cancel afterwards. ## What does each option cost? Supademo's free plan costs $0. Scale, the first paid plan, is $50 a month for each creator, or $38 a month on the yearly plan. Business is $249 a month, or $199 on the yearly plan. Your own time is the larger cost for most teams. The Swoopcut [Launch Clip](https://swoopcut.com/#pricing) is $149, tax included, for one 20 to 45 second clip with a social cut under 10 MB, captions and a thumbnail. The Launch Pack is $399 for 3 clips, which works out to $133 per clip you keep. If you ship often and want the video filmed again after each release, Always Fresh is $249 a month for up to 4 new or re-recorded clips. ## What about Arcade? Arcade is another self-serve tool for interactive demos, so the same trade-off applies. On 20 October 2026 its free plan gave 250 one-time credits, videos up to 30 seconds and an Arcade watermark. The Pro plan was $49 a month on the yearly plan, or $59 monthly. Choose it for the same reasons as Supademo: you build, you edit, you control. ## Other ways to get a launch video There are other options too.
