The Walnut Trap
Walnut is enterprise software. It's designed for companies with $10M+ ARR and sales teams of 10+. If that's you, Walnut is probably underpriced.
But if you're a founder with $0 ARR launching a product, Walnut's $9,200 entry point means you can't afford to demo your own product until you've raised funding or hit revenue. That's a market failure.
DemoSpeak fixes that: founders can create professional demos from day 1 for under $50/month.
When Walnut Is Still the Right Choice
Walnut makes sense at $50M+ ARR when you need complex, secure demo environments. For everyone else, Walnut is like buying enterprise SaaS for a solo freelancer. You're paying for features you'll never use. DemoSpeak is the alternative when you need 80% of Walnut's capability at 2% of the cost.
- You're a Fortune 500 company with large sales teams
- You need full sandbox environments with live data
- You require enterprise security and compliance
- You have budget for $9,200+/year enterprise software
- You need complex, data-heavy demo environments
