The problems this solves
Category leaders price you out
The interactive-demo category was built for enterprise GTM budgets: Navattic at $500/mo, Walnut at $575/mo, Storylane's HTML tier at $500/mo. Mirage is $0 to start and $20/mo for unlimited; the same buyer-facing outcome at startup prices.
Speed matters more than feature depth
You don't need A/B testing suites and Salesforce apps yet. You need a demo on the landing page before Friday's launch. Mirage's capture-to-live time is about 90 seconds.
Every tool wants a seat count
Per-seat pricing punishes small teams that share logins anyway. Mirage is flat: one price, unlimited demos.
How startups use Mirage
01
The pre-launch waitlist page
Nothing sells a waitlist like proof the product exists. Embed a demo of what you've built; even an early version; and watch signup quality jump.
02
Launch week, everywhere
The same demo embeds on your site, links from your Product Hunt gallery, and pins to your X profile. One capture, every channel.
03
Sales before you have sales
Lead capture on the demo turns your landing page into a pipeline source. Follow up only with people who clicked through to the end; they're your hottest leads.
From product to published demo in ~90 seconds
- 1. Capture
Click through your product with the Mirage Chrome extension; it records real DOM snapshots, not screenshots. - 2. Direct
Add hotspots, tooltips, spotlight, and zoom in a Figma-like editor. Brand it with your colors and an intro splash. - 3. Publish
Get a share link and iframe embed. Watch views, completions, and per-step drop-off roll in.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best free interactive demo tool for a startup?
Mirage's free plan includes the full editor and real DOM capture; the feature competitors gate at $350–500/mo. Supademo's free tier allows 5 demos but watermarked and screenshot-based; Arcade's free tier caps at 1 published demo without HTML capture. For a startup landing page, DOM fidelity free is the differentiator.
When should a startup upgrade from the free plan?
When you need more than one published demo, custom slugs, badge removal, or more hotspots per step. Pro is $20/mo; typically when demos start driving real signups.
Will it slow down our landing page?
Demos load in an iframe with a branded loading skeleton and lazy step hydration; your page's own performance is untouched.
