ShotDemo

Compare

A LiveDemo alternative where nobody is billed per creator

LiveDemo and ShotDemo both make interactive tours of a product and both put an AI agent beside them that answers visitors' questions. The difference is in how you pay and in what the agent is. LiveDemo bills every creator in the workspace each month, and puts its agent, with voice and live video avatars, in a higher plan; its code is open to read and to host yourself. ShotDemo charges once for each demo you keep live, includes the agent in that purchase, and never bills a person. This page sets out what LiveDemo offers, where it is the stronger pick, and how to move a demo across.

What LiveDemo is

LiveDemo's home and pricing pages, read on 11 November 2026, describe interactive HTML tours captured with a Chrome extension, a Figma plugin or Mac and Windows apps, to embed on a website or in a product-led sign-up flow, with a library that marketing, sales and customer success reuse. Its free Startup plan already has AI voiceovers, AI text personalisation, pan and zoom and autoplay. Paid plans add lead forms, personalisation variables, GIF and MP4 exports and session recordings.

Its Growth plan is built around an AI demo agent: it answers from your documents and shows the right demo, by chat, by voice or as a live video avatar; it qualifies leads, books meetings in the conversation, and sends summaries of each conversation and its buying intent by email and to HubSpot, Slack or a webhook. A website widget shows the agent as a bubble, a pill or a smart bar, with rules for which pages it appears on. LiveDemo is source-available under the FSL-1.1-MIT licence: self-hosting is free on every plan, and white-labelling is a paid option. The top of its site offers one-click migration from Storylane, Arcade, Navattic and Supademo.

LiveDemo's prices

The pricing page, read on 11 November 2026, listed:

  • Startup: free for one creator, three published demos, basic insights and LiveDemo's watermark.
  • Pro: $34 per creator a month, or $27 billed yearly. Unlimited demos, advanced insights and session recordings, no watermark, lead forms, GIF and MP4 exports and personalisation variables, with a seven-day trial.
  • Growth: $49 per creator a month, or $39 billed yearly. The AI demo agent with voice and live video avatars (1000 avatar credits, about 60 minutes, a month, one session at a time), the website widget, qualification, booking, summaries, HubSpot, Slack and webhooks, and several workspaces.
  • Business: a custom price from ten creators, hosted by LiveDemo or by you, with paid white-labelling, a custom domain and dedicated support.

Every person in a workspace counts as a creator, it says: a team of five on Pro pays for five.

Two ways to answer a visitor

LiveDemo's agent works from your documents and can appear as a talking face. ShotDemo's answers from the published demo's own words and a brief you write for it, and stays a text and voice assistant on purpose: no avatars, no footage of people who are not there. A viewer clicks "Ask a question", types or says it, and gets a short answer, read aloud if they want, with a button that shows the step holding the answer. When they want to buy or to talk to someone, it offers the demo's own calendar or form, and when the demo does not say, it says it does not know rather than guess a price or a date. Nothing behind a password chapter reaches it.

For the maker, the demo's analytics read the agent's questions viewer by viewer. A "Sum it up" button writes a note on one conversation: what they wanted, how near to buying they seem, what to send next. The questions it could not answer from the demo are listed on their own, which is the list of what the demo should say next. The agent comes with buying the demo and answers up to 300 questions a month, with nothing more to buy.

What a year costs

A team of five on LiveDemo's Pro plan pays $27 per creator a month billed yearly: $1,620 a year. With the agent, on Growth, the same five pay $2,340 a year. On ShotDemo the five people are free once the workspace has bought a demo, and each demo they keep live is $12 once, agent included: ten demos cost less than one month of that Pro plan for the five, and nothing in the second year. A single creator who keeps three demos live will find LiveDemo's free plan or ShotDemo's per-demo price the closest in cost; the gap grows with each person added.

Where LiveDemo is the better choice

LiveDemo is the better choice if you want to read the code or run it on your own servers: it is source-available and self-hosting is free, which ShotDemo does not offer. Its agent can appear as a live video avatar, answers from your documents as well as your demos, and books meetings inside the chat, and its widget comes in three styles. It records desktop software with its Mac and Windows apps. And if you are leaving Storylane, Arcade, Navattic or Supademo with many demos, its one-click migration is a quicker road than ShotDemo's, which goes through a video.

Where ShotDemo is the better choice

ShotDemo suits teams that would rather not count creators: everyone you invite is free once the workspace has bought a demo, and each demo is paid for once. It suits makers who want the agent without credits or a higher plan, and those who want the demo as a real video too: every published demo exports as a narrated MP4, WebM or GIF with the camera moving to each hotspot. It suits teams that want to start from more than a recording: screenshots, a website's address on a desktop, laptop, tablet or phone screen, a screen recording, or a Figma prototype with its click links. And it puts A/B tests between demos, survey questions, translations into 32 languages, showcases and store and social pictures of each screen in the same purchase.

Moving from LiveDemo

LiveDemo lists GIF and MP4 exports; give the MP4 to New demo › Video and ShotDemo makes one step of each screen, then the AI writes the words and places each hotspot on what to click. Recording the flow again with the ShotDemo extension for Chrome gives you the pages as HTML as well. Copy your agent's brief into the demo's settings, rebuild your forms, and replace the embeds on your pages when the new demo is live.

Start free: build the demo, publish it and watch its numbers. Buy it once, at $12, when you want the badge gone, the agent on and your team in.
