Pricing, honestly
Walnut's Ignite plan starts at $575/mo billed annually with 3 editor and 3 presenter seats, roughly $6,900 a year before add-ons. Accelerate is $1,550/mo with sandbox demos, personalization, and SSO. Scale is custom. Every plan is sold through a demo call, and several capabilities cost extra. Mirage starts free, takes 90 seconds to first demo, and tops out at a planned $79/mo. For a self-serve SaaS, Walnut isn't ten times better; it is just ten times more expensive for a job Mirage already does.
