Comparison
Storylane is a mature demo platform, and RepX, its AI agent, chats with visitors and surfaces your pre-built demos, from around $2,000 a month as an enterprise add-on. Showdini does one thing: it gets on a call and gives each visitor a guided, narrated walkthrough of your product over voice, self-serve from $200 a month.
Why teams choose Showdini over Storylane
A fraction of the price, self-serve
RepX is an enterprise add-on that starts around $2,000 a month. Showdini starts at $200, and anyone can set it up themselves in about 30 minutes, no sales call or enterprise contract, and easy to maintain.
It runs the demo, not a chat that links to one
RepX answers in chat and pulls up your pre-built demos for the visitor to click. Showdini presents your product itself, showing and narrating the walkthrough over voice like a rep. The visitor watches a demo happen, they don't drive one.
Specialised, with proven demo quality
Storylane is a broad platform that does many demo jobs. Showdini does one: the live AI sales rep. Its demos are built from hundreds of real ones and convert 20–30% of the visitors who take them.
Storylane and Showdini overlap more than most. Storylane's RepX is a conversational AI agent: it chats over text, voice and video, runs discovery, qualifies against your ICP and books meetings, surfacing your pre-built Storylane demos in the chat. It's strong, but it's an enterprise add-on starting around $2,000 a month. Showdini is narrower and much cheaper. It's a specialised AI sales rep that shares its screen and walks each visitor through your product over voice, like a rep on a call. It starts at $200 a month, sets up in about 30 minutes, and its demos convert 20–30% of the visitors who take them.

What changes when you switch
A demo, given live
Every visitor gets a guided, narrated walkthrough of your product on the spot, not a chat that links to a self-serve demo.
Live in 30 minutes, self-serve
No enterprise contract or onboarding project. Anyone can point Showdini at your product and have it live in about half an hour, and it stays easy to maintain.
A fraction of the cost
Showdini starts at $200 a month. RepX is an enterprise add-on from around $2,000, so the live-demo capability costs far less with Showdini.
Qualified and handed off
Like RepX, Showdini qualifies visitors and passes warm buyers to sales, so this is table stakes, not the trade-off.
The verdict
Showdini is best for
Giving every visitor a guided, narrated walkthrough of your product over voice, self-serve and without an enterprise contract.
Storylane
is best for
Teams already invested in Storylane who want a full demo suite plus an AI chat agent (RepX) that answers questions and surfaces their pre-built demos, and who can carry an enterprise price.
