The Short Answer
Proovyt or HowdyGo?
HowdyGo is a bootstrapped, Sydney-based tool for HTML product demos, sandbox environments and videos. Every plan includes unlimited users, and HTML demos start on Starter at $159 a month.
HowdyGo has no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Proovyt starts free, then $35 a month for one creator, with HTML capture, in beta, on Pro at $79.
Unlimited users make HowdyGo's price flat. From four people, Starter at $159 is less than Proovyt Team at $49 per seat, but analytics, CRM integrations, a custom domain and offline demos sit on HowdyGo Pro at $399.

Capability by Capability
How Proovyt and HowdyGo Compare in Practice
Six things every demo tool has to do. Proovyt first, then HowdyGo, then the difference in one line.
01
Capture
Proovyt
Proovyt Capture, the Chrome extension, records a click-through on the tab you choose. Each click becomes a step with a hotspot and a callout, and one recording holds up to 200 steps. Screenshots you already have work too. Drop, paste or pick image files and each one becomes a step.
On Pro and Team the extension can also record the page itself next to each screenshot. This is HTML capture, in beta. Typed text is never captured. Video capture is not available yet.
HowdyGo
HowdyGo captures HTML and CSS through a browser extension.
HowdyGo is HTML-only. Proovyt captures screenshots on every plan and HTML, in beta, on Pro and Team.
02
Editing
Proovyt
Proovyt puts an edit layer on top of each screenshot. Blur, replace text, change a number, add a label or a highlight, on every plan including Free. Every edit can be undone, and blur is baked into the pixels when you publish or export.
On HTML capture steps, in beta, you can also replace, hide or blur any element's text. AI edits are not available yet.
HowdyGo
HowdyGo's Edit UI changes captured HTML, including text, media and hidden sensitive data. Screen swap replaces a step's screen without recording again. It calls its editor slide-style editing with no video timeline, and edits charts, logos and images in captures.
Both edit captured screens in a slide-style editor. HowdyGo works on HTML. Proovyt also works on plain screenshots, on every plan.
03
Branding
Proovyt
The brand kit, from Creator at $35 a month, holds your logos, colors and fonts. Every demo linked to the kit picks up a change, published and embedded ones included, with nothing to republish.
Every demo opens with an intro card and closes with an end card whose buttons send the viewer somewhere next. Free demos carry a small Made with Proovyt badge, and every paid plan removes it. Custom domains are not available yet and are coming to Pro.
HowdyGo
A custom domain is on HowdyGo Pro at $399 a month.
Proovyt's brand kit starts on Creator at $35. Its custom domains are not available yet.
04
Sharing
Proovyt
Share a hosted link, paste an embed, or download one self-contained HTML file that plays in any browser, from Creator. Republishing keeps the link, and publishing copies only the screenshots the demo uses, with blur baked in.
Pro, at $79 a month, adds password-protected links, expiring links and lead capture. Branching and CRM integrations are not available yet.
HowdyGo
Offline demos, CRM integrations and a JavaScript SDK are on Pro at $399 a month.
Proovyt's owned HTML file starts on Creator at $35.
05
Analytics and Privacy
Proovyt
Every plan shows view counts. From Creator you also see unique viewers, completion rate and drop-off by step, for hosted links and embeds. Pro adds per-viewer analytics with CSV export.
Hosted pages and embeds set no cookies, and analytics store no IP addresses.
HowdyGo
Analytics are on HowdyGo Pro at $399 a month. Starter has no CRM or analytics.
Proovyt's views, completion and drop-off start on Creator at $35, with no cookies.
06
Pricing and Seats
Proovyt
Every Proovyt price is public. Free, then Creator at $35 a month billed annually, Pro at $79, and Team at $49 per seat from 2 seats. Self-serve checkout sells up to 100 seats.
You pay by card through Stripe, and upgrade, downgrade or cancel from the billing page with no call to book. Annual plans change at renewal.
HowdyGo
HowdyGo lists a 14-day trial, Starter at $159 a month, Pro at $399 and a custom Enterprise plan, each with unlimited users.
Proovyt is cheaper for small teams and starts free. HowdyGo's flat price favours large teams.
