You record a workflow once from your real product using a Chrome extension, and Rendemo turns it into a guided, clickable demo you can embed on any page with one script tag, send as a link, render as a video, or overlay on your live product.\n\nRendemo has a free plan, Pro at $39 per month, Scale at $129 per month, and custom Enterprise pricing. Pricing is flat per workspace with unlimited creators, so adding teammates does not increase the bill.\n\nRendemo demos are interactive. The recorder captures the real HTML of your product, so a viewer clicks and types through the demo themselves rather than watching a video. Rendemo can also render the same recording to an MP4 video when you need one.\n\nNo. Recording a demo needs only the Chrome extension, and the studio is designed for non-technical teams. Engineering is optional: demos and product tours can also be defined in your codebase and verified in CI, so a UI change that breaks a tour fails the build.\n\nThe common uses are customer onboarding, sales and pre-sales demos, support and help centers, product-led growth landing pages, internal training and enablement, and release announcements.\n\nYes. Every published demo gives you one script tag that renders the demo inline or behind a button, and works in plain HTML as well as React, Vue and Svelte.\n\nIt takes about a minute, and you will never walk someone through it manually again.\n\nFree plan · no credit card · 1 published demo or tour", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-interactive-product-demos-made-easy", "canonical_source": "https://www.rendemo.com", "published_at": "2026-08-14 15:59:07+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-14 16:15:49.936413+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["Rendemo", "Storylane", "Navattic", "Arcade", "Supademo", "Claude Code", "Claude.ai"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-interactive-product-demos-made-easy", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-interactive-product-demos-made-easy.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-interactive-product-demos-made-easy.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-interactive-product-demos-made-easy.jsonld"}}
