DemoTV
A viewer-ranked product demo channel: submit demos for free, let viewers decide channel rankings through one-on-one Channel Battles, and offer product comparison pages.
About DemoTV
DemoTV is a viewer-ranked product demo channel. Founders submit product demo videos for free (via a YouTube link or MP4), which go live after review; viewers watch two demos side by side and pick the one they would actually try, and the number of wins determines which demos hold the current top three spots on channels 1–3. The site also offers paired comparison pages that put the demos, key differences, and a try-it task for two products with the same purpose in one place, along with source links and review dates. Channel owners can optionally purchase labeled paid placements and other extra exposure; the official site states that paid placements do not affect rankings.
