Arcade Pricing in 2026: Interactive Demo Plans, Per-Seat Costs, and Flat-Price Alternatives

The Short Answer

Arcade, the interactive demo tool at arcade.software, has three plans in 2026. Free is $0 for 1 seat and 1 published demo with a watermark. Growth is $50 per seat per month, or $42.50 per seat per month billed yearly, for up to 10 seats. Enterprise is priced by sales. A team of five on Growth pays $250 a month, or $2,550 a year on annual billing. If per-seat pricing is the problem, flat-price alternatives start at €19/month for the whole account.

Arcade's Plans at a Glance

Plan	Price	Seats	Published demos	Watermark
Free	$0	1	1 demo + 1 video (3 editable)	Yes
Growth	$50/seat/mo, or $42.50/seat/mo billed yearly	Up to 10	Unlimited	Removed
Enterprise	Custom	Custom	Unlimited	Removed

The Free plan comes with 200 AI credits a month but no analytics, custom branding, video export or team workspace. Growth adds all four, plus 800 AI credits a month, a custom landing page, demo branching, CTAs and forms, and MP4/GIF export. HTML capture, SSO, API access, role-based access and custom domains are on Enterprise only.

What a Team Actually Pays

Every Growth seat costs the same, so the bill grows with headcount. At Arcade's published rates:

Seats	Monthly billing	Annual billing
1	$50/mo	$510/yr
3	$150/mo	$1,530/yr
5	$250/mo	$2,550/yr
10	$500/mo	$5,100/yr

For comparison, Stepshots Pro is €190 a year on every row of that table. What it caps is demos (30 hosted), not people.

The Costs That Surprise Teams

• The free plan is for trying Arcade, not for running demos. One published demo, a watermark, and no analytics. You can't see whether anyone clicked through.
• Every teammate is a line item. A marketer, a PM and a sales engineer who all edit demos cost three seats: $150 a month.
• Growth stops at 10 seats. Past that, or if you need SSO or HTML capture, the only option is Enterprise, at a price Arcade doesn't publish.

Who Arcade's Pricing Fits

Arcade is good at polished, fast demos. It records your screen and adds AI voiceover and narration to the demo. If one person makes all your demos, a single Growth seat at $42.50 a month buys that polish without much seat math. It gets expensive once three or four people need to edit, especially if what you actually ship is a handful of embedded demos.

A Flat-Price Alternative: Stepshots

	Arcade	Stepshots
Free plan	1 seat, 1 watermarked demo, no analytics	1 hosted demo + unlimited local recording (open-source CLI)
Published demos	Unlimited on Growth	30 hosted on Pro
Entry paid price	$50/seat/mo ($42.50 billed yearly)	€29 one-time for one demo, or €19/month flat (€190/year)
Adding teammates	+$50/seat/mo, up to 10	No per-seat billing
Analytics	Growth and up	Pro, or on a single €29 demo
MP4/GIF export	Growth and up	Pro
Capture	Screen recording; HTML capture on Enterprise	Browser extension or CLI, recorded from a config file
MCP server (AI agents)	Not listed on the pricing page	Free, in the open-source CLI and hosted

The €19/month Pro plan includes 30 hosted demos, view analytics with per-step drop-off, custom branding, embeds anywhere, unbranded guided tours, and AI sandbox hosting, where you generate the sandbox with your own AI key. If you only need one demo, a single Pro demo is €29 one-time. That covers analytics and the per-step tour funnel for that demo, with no Stepshots badge and no recurring charge.

Arcade vs Other Demo Tools on Price

Storylane also charges per seat, starting at $40/month plus $40 per extra seat (see Storylane pricing). Navattic sells annual seat tiers and no longer publishes its prices (see Navattic pricing). For a roundup of all of them, see the best interactive demo software.

Which Should You Pick?

Pick Arcade if one or two people make demos, and AI voiceover matters more than the per-seat cost. Pick Stepshots if several people need access, or you want embedded demos with per-step analytics at a flat €19 a month instead of $50 per person.

The free tier includes one hosted demo and unlimited local recording with the open-source CLI. Try Stepshots free.
