2. Custom Demo Engine: Simulate Sophisticated Interactions with Ease

Demoboost's custom demo engine is designed to go beyond traditional demo automation, enabling the simulation of complex user interactions and UI elements. It allows you to create realistic demos that replicate advanced software behaviours, such as:

• Hovers and Pop-ups: Simulate mouse-over effects, tooltips, and pop-up windows just like in your live product.
• JavaScript Plugins and Custom Widgets: Integrate elements like calculators, chatbots, and custom widgets within your demos.
• Cross-Platform Integrations: Demonstrate seamless integration with other platforms.
• Dynamic Data Simulation: Personalize demos based on different scenarios, industries, or roles for a tailored experience.
• Interactive Forms and Inputs: Enable users to interact with fields and forms as they would in the live product like calculators, chatbots or search functionalities.

Reprise struggles to accurately capture these complex behaviours, often requiring additional costly implementation forany  advanced simulation.

3. Flexible Live Demo Capabilities: Tailor Your Presentations On-the-Fly

Demoboost understands that not all live sessions are equal, yet buyers expect to see a demo in each. Currently, many AEs skip demos in initial calls, focusing on qualification and discovery, then involving SEs too early. Demoboost offers a flexible solution for early-stage demos, enabling AEs to follow a script and leverage speaker notes to appear as knowledgeable product experts from the outset. SEs often spend excessive time customising complex demos, so Demoboost developed an overlay for live demos that allows presales to create templates, eliminating customization time while preserving pitch flexibility in later stages.

In contrast, Reprise's current live demo solution relies on a complex overlay, lacking the capability for AEs to conduct independent demos in live meetings and prematurely involving presales in deals.

4. Pricing and Cost-Effectiveness: Get the Most Value for Your Investment

Demoboost offers flexible and affordable pricing options tailored for companies of different sizes, without compromising essential features. In contrast, Reprise's pricing can be prohibitive, with plans starting at $15,000 for the basic Replay™ and exceeding $34,000 for the advanced Replicate™ plan. Additionally, Reprise charges $250 per hour for initial guidance  For companies seeking a budget-friendly yet powerful solution, Demoboost stands out as the more cost-effective choice.

5. Hands-On Support: Free Demo Building Assistance and Consulting

With Demoboost, you get complimentary demo creation and consulting services, ensuring your team is ready to deliver interactive demos that engage prospects. This hands-on support eliminates the need for hiring costly professional services. In contrast, Reprise charges $250 per hour for similar services, adding to the total cost of ownership.

6. Non-Linear Navigation: Give Prospects Control Over Their Journey

Demoboost allows prospects to navigate demos non-linearly, jumping between sections, revisiting content, or exploring different paths. This flexibility helps prospects engage more deeply, resulting in a better understanding of the product's capabilities. On the other hand, Reprise locks users into a linear demo sequence, limiting engagement and exploration.
