Comparison
Arcade turns screen recordings into interactive demos and videos people watch on their own. Showdini gets on a live call, demos your product for them over voice, and qualifies the hot ones for sales.
Why teams choose Showdini over Arcade
Demos personalised to each prospect
It does real discovery first, like a rep would: it learns what the visitor is trying to solve, then shows exactly how your product solves their problem.
Qualifies while it demos
Every visitor gets sized up during the demo, not after. Good-fit buyers go straight to sales, ready to talk; the tyre-kickers are filtered out before they reach your team.
Instant setup
Record a video of your product, link your docs and you're done. No tours to build.
Arcade is built for demos people consume on their own: a polished walkthrough they click through, or a video they watch at their own pace. Showdini does the demo with the visitor. It takes them through your product live, shares screen, clicks on the product, answers whatever they ask, and qualifies them in the same session.

Every visitor qualified
Visitors are demoed and qualified on the spot, so hot buyers reach sales while they are hot instead of days later.
Reps only on real buyers
Showdini qualifies everyone and routes the good-fit leads, so your team stops demoing tyre-kickers.
Always on, every timezone
Every visitor can get a real demo the moment they're interested. 24/7, with no one rostered on.
