# DemoPage vs click-through demo tools: A tour you build, or a demo that follows the buyer.

> Click-through demo tools capture copies of your screens and let buyers click along a path your team designs. DemoPage shows your real product in a secure browser we run, follows what each buyer asks for, and answers questions from your own pages. Pick a click-through tour for a fixed, instant tour; pick DemoPage when buyers ask different things.

Here, click-through demo tools means tools such as Navattic, Storylane, Arcade, and Walnut. Features differ from tool to tool; this compares the approach.

## Side by side

| | Click-through demo tools | DemoPage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What the buyer sees | Captured copies of your screens | Your real product, in a secure browser we run |
| The path | A path your team designs in advance | Planned from what the buyer asks for |
| Who builds it | Your team captures and edits each tour | DemoPage reads your pages; you approve the ones it may show |
| Questions | Text you wrote into the tour | Answers from your own pages, with a link to each |
| When the product changes | Recapture the screens | Re-read the pages; the next demo shows the current product |
| Languages | The languages you write | 17 languages |
| Speed | Loads at once | A recording plays at once; a live demo reaches its first screen in seconds |
| After the demo | A form or booking link | The lead, what they saw and asked, and a recap, sent to your CRM or inbox |

## Pick click-through demo tools when

- You want a short tour on a landing page that loads instantly
- Every visitor should see the same steps, exactly as designed
- What you show can't run in a web browser

## Pick DemoPage when

- Buyers ask different questions and want to see different screens
- Your product changes often and captured tours go stale
- You want answers your team can stand behind, with a link to the page
- You want the lead handed over with what they saw and asked

You can use both: a short tour on a landing page, and DemoPage behind the demo button for buyers who want their own questions answered.

## Questions

**Is DemoPage an interactive demo tool?**
Not in the click-through sense. It doesn't replay captured screens; it shows your real product in a secure browser we run, and visitors can click around without anything being saved.

**Do I have to build tours in DemoPage?**
No. DemoPage reads your site, docs, and optional sandbox, and you choose the pages it may show. Each demo follows what the visitor asks for.

**Can visitors click in DemoPage too?**
Yes. They can click around the real product while payments, sign-ups, CRM writes, and other changes stay blocked.
