How much does a product demo video cost?
A professional agency demo usually runs between five thousand and fifteen thousand dollars per video. Freelance editors sit lower, around one thousand to four thousand. In house production looks free until you count the hours. A five minute demo often eats two to four full days of a PMM or designer, which is real money once you add salary and delay.
The number that matters is cost per version
One video is never one video. You need a short version for the website, a longer one for onboarding, one for each persona, and translated versions for each region. At agency rates, a launch that needs eight versions costs more than most quarterly content budgets.
Platform pricing works differently
Generation platforms charge per seat and per volume instead of per video. That flips the math. The tenth video costs close to nothing, which is exactly the opposite of an agency contract. For teams weighing this, the product marketing video option usually wins on the second or third version rather than the first.
Free trials exist, so you can test the real cost on your own product before committing.
