An Arcade alternative for recorded product demos

Comparison · 4 min read · Updated October 2026

Short answer: Arcade makes interactive click-through demos and AI-generated product videos. Its pricing page lists a free plan with videos up to 30 seconds, 1080p exports and an Arcade watermark, and Pro at $59 a month or $49 a month billed yearly, with 1,000 credits (checked 29 Oct 2026). If what you want is a real recording of your product, edited with a close-up on every click and exported as an MP4 you own, that is a different tool: a screen recorder like Girato.

A real recording, zoomed on each click in the Girato editor, then the exported video.

Using both

Plenty of teams do: an interactive tour on the website, and a short recorded video for social, ads and email. Girato exports a standard MP4, so the video goes anywhere a file can.
