The cheapest demo tool is not always the one with the lowest number on the pricing page. A low entry plan can hold back the one feature you need, such as text editing or HTML capture, and the next plan up can be ten times the price. The useful question is the lowest price for the work you need done.
The short answer. On 6 October 2026 the lowest published entry plans were $35 a month billed annually, from Proovyt Creator and Guideflow Solo. Proovyt Creator includes text and number editing on screenshots and an owned HTML export. For HTML capture, Proovyt Pro at $79 was the lowest published price in our research.
