What Rendemo is
Rendemo's home and pricing pages, read on 11 November 2026, describe interactive walkthroughs captured with a Chrome extension that records a product's real HTML, so viewers click and type through the demo. One capture becomes a guided demo to embed or link, a Live Guide laid over the product's own live pages, or a video. Every published demo is embedded with one script tag.
It ships an MCP server on every plan, the free one included, so Claude Code, Claude.ai or another assistant can make, improve and publish demos end to end: write the captions, apply a brand kit, direct the camera, lint for covered targets and clipped crops, set an email gate and hand back the embed code. npx rendemo login connects it in one command, and tours can be written against markers in your own code so that a change to the interface that breaks one fails your build. Its comparison table says real-HTML demos are on its free plan while elsewhere they cost hundreds a month, and its comparison pages, it says, list what each rival does better.

How the two compare
| Rendemo | ShotDemo | |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | A flat monthly price for the whole team | Once per demo you keep live, for the whole team |
| Free plan | One published demo, 1,000 views a month, badge | One live demo with a small badge, no limit on its views |
| Views | Capped by plan: 1,000, 25,000 or 150,000 a month | Never counted against a limit |
| Real HTML pages | Every plan | Every demo made with the extension or from a website |
| Localisation | Scale | Every plan: 32 languages, each with a voice |
| An MCP server for AI assistants | Every plan | Every workspace, with sign-in from Claude.ai |
| Tours laid over the live product | Live Guide, on Scale | No: ShotDemo's demos play on their own |
| Tours checked in your build | Yes | No |
| An AI agent for viewers | Not listed | A bought demo: questions typed or spoken, answered from the demo |
| A/B tests | Not listed | Every workspace, between live demos |

Built for agents too
Rendemo's MCP story is a strong one, and ShotDemo has its own. Its API and MCP server work in every workspace: an assistant such as Claude Code or Cursor makes a demo from a website's address or from screenshots, changes its words, puts in new screenshots after a release, translates it, publishes it, makes links for one person, and reads the analytics and the leads. Claude.ai connects by signing in, which makes a key that Settings can take back. Inside the app, Ask the AI does the same in words ("translate my newest demo into Spanish") and acts only once you press Do it. The demo check scores a demo for where it will be used and fixes the common faults in one click, and its AI review reads every screenshot for better words and details to blur.
What a year costs
Rendemo's Pro plan is $468 a year for any number of creators, which is hard to beat for a team that publishes many demos to a modest audience. The comparison turns on two things. The first is views: a demo on a busy homepage passes 25,000 views a month, which puts Rendemo on Scale at $1,548 a year, and past 150,000 on Enterprise; ShotDemo never counts views against a limit. The second is how many demos you keep live: at $12 once each, ten ShotDemo demos cost about as much as three months of Rendemo's Pro, and the year after costs nothing for those ten.
Where Rendemo is the better choice
Rendemo is the better choice if you want tours laid over your live product, its Live Guide, which ShotDemo deliberately does not build: ShotDemo's tours are demos the app opens, not tooltips attached to your real interface. It is also the pick for a developer team that wants tours defined in code and checked in continuous integration, so a release that breaks a tour fails the build. Its free plan keeps real-HTML demos and lets you switch which one is live at any time, and a team that publishes dozens of demos to small audiences may find one flat monthly price cheaper than buying each.
Where ShotDemo is the better choice
ShotDemo suits a demo that many people see, since views are never capped, and teams that want more than a walkthrough in one place: an AI agent for viewers, A/B tests between demos, survey questions in forms, alerts when the person a link was made for opens it, and translations with a voice in each language. It suits makers who start from screenshots, a website's address on four screen sizes, a screen recording, another tool's video export or a Figma prototype, and makers who want a real video of the demo: every published demo exports as a narrated MP4, WebM or GIF, the camera moving to each hotspot.
Moving from Rendemo
Rendemo exports a recording as video; give that video to New demo › Video and ShotDemo makes one step of each screen, then the AI writes each step's words and places its hotspot. To keep the pages as HTML, record the flow again with the ShotDemo extension for Chrome. Your assistant can do the rest through ShotDemo's MCP server: rewrite the words, translate, publish and hand you the embed code.
Start free: publish one demo and watch its numbers, with no view limit. Buy it once, at $12, for the badge gone and every feature above.
