Arcade

What it is for

Arcade is a product-story desk: record a click-path into an interactive demo, or prompt an on-brand AI video, then share a link. Use it when the job is a clickable tour or a branded teaser from your real UI, not when you need a long-form talking-head host.

What makes it unique: the cover is Arcade’s own official How to Create Arcades share — a real Arcade (product-listing walkthrough + Create a New Product Listing hotspot) — not a pricing card.

Key features

• Interactive demo capture — Chrome extension, desktop app, or Figma plugin records clicks / scrolls / typing into steps (Quick Start; Chrome Extension video). One capture; those surfaces are install, not three products.
• Demo editor — hotspots, callouts, pan & zoom, blur, brand kit on the same walkthrough (Quick Start Part 2; Interactive Demo). Those tools sit here, not four generates.
• AI Video — prompt a teaser / product overview from a brief, a demo, or a reference clip; then edit the timeline (docs: AI Video vs Interactive Demo). A generate, not a click-path.
• AI voiceover / Avery — TTS on a demo or video, plus Avery copy; burns AI credits (Plans and AI Credits; pricing). A second pass, not the editor.
• Branch / publish — branching paths, CTAs / forms, embed or MP4 / GIF export, insights (Growth+) (pricing; Interactive Demo). Delivery, not a record.

Arcade MCP (Claude / ChatGPT → a video) is a pipe onto AI Video, not a sixth product. Chrome / desktop / Figma are install. Credits are the meter for AI. Seat counts are SKU.

Who it's for

Best fit: PMM teams who will stay on Free for one published demo and only buy Growth when they need branching, branding, and 800 AI credits / month.

Limitations / costs

• Free is one published demo. Extra publishes need Growth.
• $42.50 is the yearly card. Monthly is $50.
• AI credits reset with the billing cycle. Free is 200 / month.
• A story desk, not a how-to step-doc. For click-path + written SOP, see Guidde or Scribe.

Alternatives

• Guidde — how-to video + written doc when Arcade’s interactive hotspot tour is not the job.
• Tella — screen + camera recorder when you want a hosted 4K demo, not a click-through.
• Scribe — step-by-step process docs from a capture.
