Stea vs Consensus

The closest positioning to ours. The difference is what the agent is driving.

What Consensus says it does

Consensus calls itself “the Interactive AI platform that turns every demo into a buying decision”, and publishes three formats: video demos, interactive and sandbox tours, and a “Live Demo Agent” running 24/7. They describe themselves as a leader in “Agentic GTM Platforms”.

Read on 1 October 2026 from their own site. Where they do not state a behaviour, the table below says so rather than scoring it against them.

What Consensus is good at

  • The deepest enterprise footprint of anyone here, with the review-site standing to match.
  • Stakeholder tracking across a buying committee, which we do not do.
  • Video demo automation at a scale that suits a large field organisation.

What is different about Stea

Do not pick on the word “agent”

They ship a live demo agent and so do we, so the word decides nothing. What differs is the surface: ours signs into a sandbox of your product and clicks through the running software. If theirs does the same, the comparison moves to price shape and setup, and we would rather you asked them directly than took our word for it.

A week, and a fee per demo that worked

We write the actions for your product by hand, which takes about a week and costs a fixed fee, and then you pay per demo that answered someone. That is a smaller commitment than an enterprise licence and a worse fit for a large field org — which is the honest shape of the trade.

Side by side

Consensus Stea
What the visitor sees Video, an interactive tour, or their live demo agent Your actual software, driven live in a cloud browser
Fitted to the visitor Personalised per buyer, industry and language Four questions first, then only the screens that answer them
An unscripted question Their live demo agent captures intent from every question Answered, or flagged and passed to you — it does not guess
When your product changes They do not publish a behaviour for this The action stops and tells you, rather than clicking the wrong thing
What comes back Stakeholder tracking and engagement intent Transcript, what was on screen, and what it could not answer
What you pay for Enterprise licensing Each demo that answered someone. Nothing for the ones that showed nothing

When Consensus is the better buy

If what you need is in the list above, buy that. We take a week to set up, charge a fixed fee to write the actions for your product, and then charge per demo that answered someone — which is a bad trade if you wanted something publishable this afternoon, and a good one if more people ask to see your product than your team has hours to show it.
