Testbox vs. Consensus
Stop Passive Viewing. Start Active Validation.
Consensus automates the delivery of video-based demo content, which just isn't enough for final product evaluation. TestBox provides the necessary functional step: a fully live product environment that moves buyers past watching a demo to confidently testing, validating, and actively using your product before they buy.

Frequently Asked Questions About How Consensus and TestBox Compare
Consensus is a content platform for showing your product via video and static screenshots. TestBox is a data-first platform that injects real synthetic data into a live product account, providing a functional environment where prospects can test your product.
Consensus is optimized for asynchronous video tours. While their simulation component can support some click paths, the core technology isn't built for the unscripted demands of a high-stakes, live technical demo. TestBox is rated significantly higher on G2 for Live Demonstration.
Consensus requires users to manually re-record and re-edit video segments and screenshot flows after product updates. This creates constant, resource-intensive maintenance. TestBox eliminates this by automatically reflecting live product updates.
Consensus excels at tracking content consumption (who watched which video segment). TestBox provides functional analytics: tracking what features buyers clicked on, tested, and explored inside the live, working environment.
Consensus is highly effective for top-of-funnel activities like lead education and qualification via interactive videos. TestBox is optimized for the mid-to-late funnel when functional integrity, confidence, and hands-on evaluation become critical to closing the deal.
