Before the table: when Navattic is the right call
Navattic is an interactive product demo platform. There are jobs it does better than we do, and this is the list. If you recognise yourself on the right, we'd rather you went and used it than churned in month two.
Pick stepvideo when…
- You need a file and a link: an MP4 for a help centre, an email or a launch post, plus a numbered written guide.
- The audience has to learn a procedure and then repeat it in the real product.
- You want per-minute pricing rather than seats: Navattic sells Base and Growth as seat bundles, read on 2 October 2026.
- You want narration, captions and the guide from one take rather than a demo plus a separate video tool.
The claims on our side are all specified. Read the edit rules
Pick Navattic when…
- Your demo belongs in a landing page as an interactive element a visitor drives themselves.
- You need deep CRM and sales-stack integration — their tiers list Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Gong, Salesloft, Outreach and more.
- You want account identification, pipeline-impact reporting and A/B testing on the demo itself.
- You want AI avatars with the demo; their plans list 50, 100 and 300 avatar minutes by tier.
- A single free demo is enough to start: Starter is free for everyone, 1 seat, 1 demo.

| Feature | This page | NavatticTheir own pages |
|---|---|---|
| Automatic zoom on the control you clickedThe recording knows where the click landed, so the camera punches in on the button rather than showing the whole screen. | Yes. Yes — up to 1.8×, anchored to the click, 600ms in and 2.4s hold | Partly, or on a higher plan. Auto zoom onto a tooltip's anchor in click-through steps; docs say zoom is unavailable on video steps |
| Dead time removed without editingPage loads, spinners and thinking pauses are what make a raw recording unwatchable. | Yes. Yes — anything over 4s plays at 3×, over 30s at 8× | Not listed. Not applicable — an interactive demo has no runtime to compress |
| Cut a mistake while you're still recordingFlub a step, hit a key, keep going — no second take of the whole workflow. | Yes. Yes — the hotkey removes the last 8s (beta) | Not listed. Not listed on Navattic's pricing page |
| AI voiceover written per stepNarration that follows the steps, and that you can rewrite one step at a time. | Yes. Yes — a script per step, each one editable and re-voiced on its own | Yes. AI voiceovers listed from Base on the pricing page; the docs put narrated demos at Growth or higher |
| Word-by-word captions burned into the MP4Captions that survive being posted anywhere, without a sidecar file. | Yes. Yes — word-synced, burned in at render | Partly, or on a higher plan. An opt-in caption overlay follows the narration on narrated demos; burned-in MP4 captions not listed |
| A written guide from the same takeThe same recording as a numbered walkthrough, so you don't write the doc twice. | Yes. Yes — numbered steps, each with its own screenshot from the recording | Yes. Exports a PDF with a screenshot and narration per step, or a numbered text list |
| Edit steps, not a timelineRename, reorder, merge, delete or rewrite — no scrubbing, no keyframes. | Yes. Yes — the video is a step list | Yes. Yes — a demo editor over captured HTML |
| A share page per renderSomewhere to send the link that isn't a file attachment. | Yes. Yes — public or unlisted by link | Yes. Yes — shareable and embeddable demos |
| LanguagesBoth halves matter: the language you speak while recording, and the language the finished video ships in. | Yes. Speak 96, publish in 58 — voiceover, captions and guide in each | Partly, or on a higher plan. Demo translation from Growth, 35 languages; translating an HTML capture is Enterprise only |
| How you captureWhat you have to install before you can record anything. | Yes. Chrome extension — records the tab you pick | Yes. Chrome extension capturing HTML, screenshots or video, plus Mac and Windows apps |

Questions
stepvideo vs Navattic, asked plainly
What does Navattic cost?
Their pricing page lists Starter as free for everyone, Base at $500 a month and Growth at $1,000 a month when billed annually, rising to $600 and $1,200 billed monthly, read on 2 October 2026. Startup and Enterprise are on request. The figures render in the page rather than in its source, so a quick look at the HTML can suggest no price is published when it is.
Can I get a video out of Navattic, or a guide out of stepvideo?
Both, in fact. Navattic's docs describe capturing screenshots and video, exporting MP4, and exporting a PDF with a screenshot and narration per step, read on 2 October 2026. The difference is not whether each produces a document but what the primary artifact is: a demo a viewer clicks through, against a video a viewer watches with the guide beside it.
Could a team use both?
Routinely, and it is the honest answer. An interactive demo on the pricing page for prospects, and narrated videos with written guides in the help centre for the customers who bought. They are not competing for the same moment.
