The honest take

Two products, two different theses

Interactive HTML demo platform

Where Supademo wins

AI voiceover and AI-generated annotations cut authoring time on first draft
Embed analytics and lead-capture forms are first-class
Lower price point than Arcade for teams just starting out
Branching demos let viewers pick their own path

Best for: Marketing teams that prioritize fast authoring and lead capture over reproducibility.

CaptureBeam

Where CaptureBeam wins

Render is the artifact — an MP4 plays in every channel without an embedded player
YAML-as-code keeps demos under version control instead of a hosted editor
Programmatic API for CI-driven re-renders on every UI change
Reproducible polish: cursor, zoom, ripple are computed every time, not a one-shot capture

Best for: Teams that treat demos as engineering artifacts — reviewed, versioned, and regenerated on every release.

The thesis difference

Supademo optimizes for capture quality. CaptureBeam optimizes for reproducibility.

Most demo tools are recorders: you press record once and the polished output is a function of that take. CaptureBeam is a compiler: the YAML is the source of truth, and the polished MP4 is computed every time you render. When your UI changes, Supademo needs another take. CaptureBeam regenerates from the same script.

Source of truth

Supademo: the original recording.
CaptureBeam: the YAML in your repo.

On UI change

Supademo: re-record from scratch.
CaptureBeam: re-render the same script.

Authoring

Supademo: hosted WYSIWYG editor.
CaptureBeam: YAML in PR + structured editor.

Should you switch?

The honest answer

If you ship UI more often than once a quarter and your demos go stale because of it, CaptureBeam is the better fit. If your demos are mostly one-off marketing assets that don't need to be regenerated, stick with Supademo — it's a great tool and we're not the right answer for that workload.

If you're unsure, sign up for a month at $19.99 and run one demo through both the dashboard and the API. The first render goes up in under a minute; you'll know quickly whether the wedge applies to your team.
