Testbox vs. Demostack

Stop Maintaining Clones. Start Closing Deals.

Demostack creates a static clone or replica of your product, which is brittle and requires constant re-cloning after product updates. TestBox gives you a fully functional, live demo and sandbox environments, hydrated with real synthetic data—zero maintenance, 100% reliable workflows.

Core Technology

Cloning/Replication: Creates an independent replicate that functions without relying on any backend systems.

Data Hydration & Orchestration: Ingests synthetic data directly into a live product account via API for a highly realistic, functional product environment. 

Maintenance

High Upkeep: Every UI or feature change requires manually re-cloning and updating all demo assets. Clones break easily.

Zero Maintenance: Automatically reflects all UI/feature changes from the live product. As long as the data schema doesn’t change, you only have to integrate once.

Workflow Reliability

Limited/Simulated: Good for surface-level click-throughs, but complex backend logic, transactions, and integrations often break or do not save.

Fully Functional: Hydrated data powers every workflow, integration, and report end-to-end, guaranteeing a true, high-trust experience.

AI/LLM Support

Canned Responses: AI demos rely on cloning canned/pre-programmed responses that can't handle dynamic buyer questions.

Real Functionality: Rich data allows true AI features (like churn analysis or LLM querying) to run correctly and provide real-time, accurate insights.

Data Depth

Focuses on generating generic data to fill fields and dashboards; struggles to support a strategic, multi-layered sales narrative.

Strategic Data Stories: Leverages expert design to create custom, multi-layered data (e.g., green-to-red accounts, specific transactions) that aligns with your key value narratives.

Buyer Engagement

Claims to offer "hands-on sandboxes," but they lack live backend functionality, limiting true testing. Best for guided tours.

Best for deep-dive Proof of Concepts (POCs) in a live, product environment where buyers can run and save real workflows.

Team Enablement

Focuses on creating a library of assets, but reps must worry about broken clones and manual updates.

Provides always-on, functional environments and built-in demo playbooks to ensure every rep tells a consistent, confident, and reliable story.

Pricing Model

High-cost model, with annual platform fees starting at $50,000 to $55,000 for enterprise-level use cases.

Flexible, tiered pricing based on platform complexity and seats, with lower entry points for high-growth companies.

Choosing the Best Demo Platform For Your Team

Demostack is best for

  • Teams requiring a completely walled-off, uncoupled environment
  • Companies with slow or infrequent product release cycles
  • Create a simple library of assets for pre-sales guided tours

TestBox is best for

  • Complex, data-heavy products that need end-to-end functional workflows and dynamic AI demos
  • Delivering strategic data stories that are consistent, repeatable and tailored to persona, segment or vertical
  • Scalable demo environments that update automatically with product releases.

Accordion openAccordion close

Because TestBox hydrates your live product with rich synthetic data your demo and POC environments have full functional integrity. You can confidently run generative AI, multi-step workflows and even live integrations. 

3. Data Expertise That Tells the Real Story
Accordion openAccordion close

It’s not just data at scale; it’s data with a winning narrative. TestBox replaces simple data fills with strategic data stories that validate your product’s performance.

4. Fully Functional Sandboxes for Buyer Confidence

TestBox environments create a true sandbox experience. Unlike clones, which function as a limited playback system not connected to a backend, our POC environments are fully functional so buyers can run real workflows with confidence.

5. Enablement That Scales for Every Rep

Demo playbooks give reps the messaging and navigation they need to deliver great demos, without SE support.

Real Teams, Real Outcomes

“The ability to practice workflows before client meetings is essential to my success — and TestBox makes this possible.”

“TestBox maintains a complete demo account with relevant data, so I can tell a story instead of explaining away missing demo data.”

“TestBox allows users to quickly and easily create sandbox environments and demo instances to help win deals — and it works!”

“TestBox enables us to automate manual processes and scale end-user experiences. Our growing sales org will use it in every meeting with prospects.”

“The product does EXACTLY what the sales team said it would. It genuinely makes our demo story better and makes it easy for reps to run trials with prospects.”

“TestBox creates highly realistic, interactive demo environments using dummy data — we can tell a compelling product story without worrying about sensitive info or missing data.”

Frequently Asked Questions About How Demostack and TestBox

Accordion openAccordion close
What’s the difference between TestBox and Demostack?

Demostack creates a static clone/replica of your product that is prone to breaking with new releases. TestBox hydrates a live instance of your product with real synthetic data, so it's always functional, always up-to-date, and never requires the manual maintenance associated with cloning.

Accordion openAccordion close
Why do Demostack clones break so often?

Demostack captures your product's code at a specific point in time. When your engineering team updates the UI or releases a new feature, the clone's code no longer matches your live product, forcing you to manually re-clone and update your entire demo library.

Accordion openAccordion close
Can Demostack support complex AI demos?

Not reliably. Cloned environments can only show canned, pre-programmed responses. TestBox's approach ingests the data needed to make your AI/LLM models function in real-time, allowing your product to respond dynamically to complex questions and demonstrate real value.

Accordion openAccordion close
Does TestBox take longer to set up than Demostack?

The initial setup for TestBox is generally longer (typically 4-8 weeks) because we build custom data and automation workflows. However, once implemented, TestBox is set-it-and-forget-it and requires no ongoing maintenance from your team, freeing up your SEs and engineers from the endless cycle of re-cloning.
