Three differences

Buy the tool once instead of renting each creator seat

MakeMeDemo is a $79 one-time licence per person. Arcade Growth is a recurring per-seat subscription, so its collaboration and analytics make more sense when a GTM team will actively use them.

Recordings and publishing stay under your control

MakeMeDemo creates and renders on your computer, then publishes to storage you own or exports self-contained files. Arcade is designed around a hosted workspace, shared pages and cloud analytics.

The core demo workflow does not require an enterprise platform

MakeMeDemo records websites and desktop apps, writes the walkthrough, places hotspots, generates voiceover and exports interactive or video formats in one desktop workflow.

When Arcade is the better choice

Choose Arcade when a marketing or sales team needs advanced insights, branching, forms and CTAs, integrations, shared brand controls, collaboration or Enterprise HTML capture. Those cloud GTM features are deeper than MakeMeDemo currently provides.
