Walnut Alternative for Interactive Demos

Walnut Is Built for Enterprise Sales. Not Everyone Needs That.

Walnut is a capable interactive demo platform aimed squarely at enterprise sales teams. It captures your app, builds personalized, guided sales demos, and gives revenue teams the controls they need at scale. If that's your world, Walnut is a serious option.

But that focus comes with weight: a learning curve, and sales-led pricing built for large organizations. Plenty of teams (founders, smaller product and marketing teams, developers) just want to make a good interactive demo without signing up for an enterprise platform. If that's you, Stepshots takes a lighter approach.

Where an Enterprise Platform Is Overkill

For a lot of teams, the enterprise-grade approach gets in the way:

• Pricing. Sales-led, enterprise-tier plans are a big commitment when you mainly want to publish a few interactive demos.
• Learning curve. Deep personalization and demo-management features mean more to learn before your first demo ships.
• Team-gated. Letting more people create, view, or analyze demos can mean moving up tiers.

None of that is wrong for a large sales org. It's just a poor fit when you want something simple and self-serve.

What Stepshots Offers Instead

Stepshots is an interactive demo tool you can start using today, by yourself, for free.

• Self-serve and affordable. A free tier, then a flat €19/mo Pro plan. No sales call to get started.
• Interactive demos. Capture a flow, then add callouts, highlights, arrows, zoom, and blur in a visual editor.
• Share and embed. Public links, iframe embeds, and a React SDK.
• Analytics. Step completion and drop-off on every demo.
• Developer-friendly. An open-source CLI with config-as-code, plus a browser extension for capturing right in Chrome.

Sensitive fields like passwords are skipped at capture time.
