Recurring subscription per workspace and included seats

Guideflow prices and plan limits were checked on its official pricing page in October 2026. The yearly view lists Solo at $35 per month, Growth at $499 per month and Advanced at $1,499 per month; monthly billing is higher. Enterprise terms and product packaging can change.

Three differences

Pay once for the core creation workflow

MakeMeDemo is a $79 one-time licence per person. Guideflow is free for five watermarked guideflows, while paid plans use recurring subscriptions that start at $35 per month when billed yearly and rise substantially for HTML demos, sandboxes and enterprise features.

Keep recording, AI processing and publishing under your control

MakeMeDemo records, generates and renders on your computer, then publishes to storage you own or exports self-contained files. Guideflow uses a cloud workspace and hosted buyer experiences so it can provide analytics, lead capture and centralized collaboration.

Turn any desktop workflow or phone recording into a demo

MakeMeDemo records websites and native desktop apps on macOS or Windows and imports existing phone video. It does not require a browser-only capture flow, a mirrored phone session or a higher-tier HTML sandbox.

When Guideflow is the better choice

Choose Guideflow when a marketing, sales or enablement team needs browser-captured HTML demos, sandbox or live-demo environments, buyer analytics, forms, visitor identification, CRM integration, prospect personalization, branching, custom domains or multi-asset Demo Centers. Those cloud go-to-market capabilities are deeper than MakeMeDemo currently provides.

Questions

How much does Guideflow cost?

Guideflow lists a free plan for five guideflows. When billed yearly, Solo starts at $35 per month, Growth at $499 per month and Advanced at $1,499 per month. The page also lists higher monthly-billing prices, while enterprise packaging may require a sales conversation.

Can Guideflow record desktop and mobile apps?

Yes. Guideflow offers macOS and Windows desktop apps. Its mobile workflow records a mirrored phone window from the desktop app; MakeMeDemo can instead import an existing phone recording as source material.

Does Guideflow support HTML demos and sandboxes?

Yes, depending on plan. The current pricing page lists HTML capture and HTML-based demos on Growth, sandbox and offline demos on Advanced, and Live Demo as an Enterprise add-on.

Can MakeMeDemo replace Guideflow?

For locally recording software, using AI to create a polished walkthrough and exporting or self-hosting the result, often yes. Guideflow remains the stronger fit for cloud analytics, lead capture, CRM-connected personalization, HTML sandboxes, live demos and centralized demo hubs.
