Arcade vs Folio

Arcade creates AI-generated product videos, visuals, and interactive demos. Users can build a Brand Kit from their website, add product context, generate content with prompts, and edit it with AI assistance or manually. Finished videos can be exported as video or GIF, embedded on a website, or shared by link. Listed integrations include Amplitude, Clearbit, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, Intercom, Mixpanel, PostHog, Product Hunt, Salesforce, Segment, and Slack. Arcade offers desktop downloads for Windows 10+ and macOS Ventura 13.0+, and its download page says users can record and share interactive iOS app demos from a phone. The Free plan includes one seat, one published demo, one published video, 200 AI credits per month, and unlimited views. Growth costs $42.50/user/mo (annual) and includes up to 10 users, unlimited published demos and AI videos, and 800 AI credits per month. Arcade says customer content is not used to train AI models; Enterprise customers can request zero data retention.

Folio is a no-code tool for creating and managing interactive product demos and walkthroughs, aimed at growth, sales, and product teams. Users can capture application screens, edit demo content, and build annotated guides. Folio reports viewer behavior and statistics for tours, demos, and individual screens. Demos can be embedded or shared by direct link, with collaboration and personalization options. The service lists integrations including Gmail, Intercom, Google Drive, Segment, Google Calendar, Zapier, HubSpot, OpenAI, Marketo, Slack, and Salesforce. The Free plan costs nothing for one user and permits up to two basic demos and templates, unlimited demo steps, screens, and views, with a watermark. Lite costs $25 a year with annual billing, billed at $25 per month/user. A 14-day trial is listed. Folio is available on the web, through an API, and as browser extensions; the Free plan lists a Gmail add-on and Chrome/Edge extension. Enterprise lists Open APIs and SAML SSO integrations. Folio says personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States and that absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
