OnboardFi vs Storylane: AI Demo Automation Compared
Storylane builds interactive demos from screenshots and HTML captures with guided flows and branching paths. OnboardFi takes a different approach: a voice-first AI agent that controls a live browser and responds to your prospects in real-time.
See OnboardFi in ActionTL;DR
Storylane is an interactive demo platform offering both screenshot and HTML-capture formats, with a free plan and lower entry price. Teams get multiple demo types — screenshot tours, HTML demos, video, and sandboxes. OnboardFi replaces pre-built demos with a live AI agent that speaks to viewers and controls your actual product in real-time. Choose Storylane if you want affordable, multi-format demos with a free tier. Choose OnboardFi if you want AI that qualifies visitors and demos your product autonomously.
Why Teams Look for a Storylane Alternative
Storylane made interactive demos accessible with a free plan and flexible formats. But some teams want demos that go beyond click-through paths.
You want real conversations, not guided click-throughs
Storylane demos are interactive but follow pre-built paths — viewers click through screens with tooltips and annotations. OnboardFi demos are voice-driven — the AI speaks to the viewer, answers questions, and navigates your actual product in real-time.
You need qualification and demos in one platform
With Storylane, you need a separate AI SDR or chat tool to qualify visitors before they reach a demo. OnboardFi provides both agent types — Embedded Agents qualify on your site, then hand off to Demo Agents automatically.
You want demos that stay current without manual updates
Storylane demos are built from screenshots or HTML captures. When your product changes, demo flows need re-capturing and updating. OnboardFi generates demos dynamically from your live product, so updates are reflected automatically.
You want voice-first engagement, not passive browsing
Click-through demos tell you what viewers clicked. Voice-first demos let the AI understand what viewers actually care about — their questions, concerns, and priorities — providing richer signal for your sales team.
Side-by-Side
Feature-by-Feature Comparison

|---|---|---|
| Demo Format | Live AI agent controls a real browser while speaking to the viewer in real-time | Screenshot-based and HTML-capture demos with guided flows, tooltips, and branching paths |
| Conversation | Voice-first via Gemini Live API — viewers speak, the AI listens and responds | Self-serve click-through flows — viewers navigate guided paths with annotations and CTAs |
| Personalization | AI adapts the demo in real-time based on what the viewer asks and their role or industry | Token-based personalization — swap text and images dynamically, plus branching logic for different viewer paths |
| Content Creation | Configure a system prompt and target URL — the AI handles the rest, no recording needed | Capture screenshots or HTML of your product, then add guides, hotspots, and callouts to build demo flows |
| Lead Qualification | Built-in via Embedded Agent — qualify visitors on your site, then hand off to a personalized demo | Lead capture forms within demos — collects info but does not qualify leads via AI |
| Demo Formats | One format: live AI-controlled browser demo with voice interaction | Multiple formats: screenshot demos, HTML demos, video demos, and sandbox environments |
| Integrations | HubSpot (import), webhooks. Salesforce coming soon | HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Intercom, Google Analytics, Segment, and other tools |

Demo Experience
Storylane offers flexibility in how teams build demos. Capture screenshots for quick product tours, use HTML captures for more interactive experiences, record video walkthroughs, or set up sandbox environments for hands-on evaluation. Teams can build guided flows with tooltips, hotspots, annotations, and branching logic that routes viewers to different paths based on their selections.
OnboardFi takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of pre-built content, an AI agent powered by the Gemini Live API speaks directly to the viewer while controlling a real browser. It navigates your product, clicks through workflows, fills forms, and answers questions — all live. No two sessions are the same because the AI adapts to what each viewer asks.
Bottom line: Storylane gives teams multiple demo format options for different use cases. OnboardFi offers one format — a live AI agent controlling your real product — but that format is dynamic, voice-driven, and requires no content production.
Qualification and Demo Handoff
Storylane includes lead capture forms within demos, so teams can gate content or collect viewer information. But it does not qualify leads through AI conversation — the forms collect data, then your team reviews and follows up.
OnboardFi provides two agent types in one platform. Embedded Agents qualify visitors directly on your website through voice-first AI conversations. When a lead qualifies, they receive a personalized demo link via email. Click the link and they're in their own Demo Agent session — watching AI walk through your product while answering their specific questions.
Bottom line: If you need demos with flexible formats and lead capture forms, Storylane delivers. If you want AI-driven qualification and demos in one system, OnboardFi eliminates a vendor.
Pricing
Storylane offers a free plan — a rare option in demo automation — along with paid tiers that scale with features and usage. This makes Storylane one of the most accessible entry points for teams exploring interactive demos for the first time.
OnboardFi's Basic Plan is $225/month (or $2,100/year), includes 5 agents (any combination of Embedded and Demo Agents), 100 sessions per month, and a 14-day free trial. Additional sessions cost $1.50 each. No sales call required to get started, though at a higher price point than Storylane's entry-level options.
When Storylane Is the Better Choice
Different tools fit different needs. Storylane is strong in areas where affordability and format variety matter most.
Teams that need multiple demo formats
Storylane offers screenshot demos, HTML-capture demos, video demos, and sandbox environments. If your team needs different demo types for different stages of the funnel — a quick screenshot tour for top-of-funnel and a sandbox for technical evaluation — Storylane provides broader format options.
Organizations with budget constraints
Storylane offers a free plan and paid plans at lower entry points than most demo automation tools. If your team is testing interactive demos for the first time or needs to keep costs minimal, Storylane provides a more affordable starting point.
Teams that prefer silent, self-paced demo experiences
Storylane demos are click-through and self-paced — no microphone required. OnboardFi is voice-only. If your audience prefers to explore your product silently without speaking aloud, Storylane fits better.
When OnboardFi Is the Better Choice
You want one platform for qualification and demos
Instead of pairing Storylane with a separate AI SDR or chat tool, OnboardFi handles both stages. Embedded Agents qualify visitors on your website. Demo Agents walk them through your product. One vendor, one data layer.
You prefer live, conversational demos over guided tours
If your product is complex enough that prospects have unpredictable questions, an AI that responds in real-time and controls a live browser provides more depth than clicking through pre-built guided flows — regardless of how many demo formats are available.
You want demos that update automatically
Because OnboardFi demos run on your live product, UI changes are reflected automatically. No re-capturing screenshots or HTML, no rebuilding guided flows every time you ship a feature update.
Your team is too small to produce demo content
Building screenshot tours, HTML-capture demos, and video walkthroughs takes time and effort. OnboardFi generates demos dynamically from your product — configure the AI with a system prompt and a target URL, and it handles the rest.

Common Questions
Is OnboardFi a direct replacement for Storylane?
Not exactly. They take fundamentally different approaches. Storylane is built around multi-format interactive demos — screenshots, HTML captures, video, and sandboxes — with a focus on accessibility and affordability. OnboardFi is built around live AI agents that control a real browser. If you need multiple demo formats and a free plan to get started, Storylane is purpose-built. If you want AI-driven, real-time demos with voice interaction, OnboardFi is a different category of solution.
Can viewers type instead of speaking?
No. OnboardFi is voice-first — viewers interact by speaking through their microphone. There is no text chat input. If your audience strongly prefers text-based or click-based interaction, Storylane is the better fit.
Does OnboardFi integrate with Salesforce?
Not yet. Salesforce integration is on the roadmap but not currently available. Today, OnboardFi supports HubSpot (contact import) and generic webhooks. If Salesforce integration is a requirement, Storylane has an advantage here.
What does “the AI controls a live browser” actually mean?
The Demo Agent opens a real browser session within the demo interface. It can navigate to URLs, click elements, type text, scroll pages, and take screenshots — all while explaining what it's doing via voice. Viewers watch the AI actually use your product, not a simulation or recording of it.
