What is Arcade?
Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
What is Instapage?
Instapage repositions from landing-page builder to multi-surface marketing platform, with personalization-at-scale as the wedge.
Instapage is publicly transitioning from 'best landing page builder' into a broader marketing platform covering websites, personalization, experimentation, email, and analytics. Two real product launches in the same window — AI Collections for personalized pages at scale and built-in Schema Markup — sit alongside CRO survey content and tactical landing-page examples. The product story is the main editorial thread for the first time in a long while.

Arcade's AI video tool now works inside Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini via MCP.
◆ Current state
Arcade's releases are almost all about AI video. The November release adds an Arcade MCP so users can create and edit videos from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants, with credit costs shown in the chat. It also adds 60 native voices in 15 more languages and one-click variations of a single video. In October, AI video got its own home and users could pick the model behind each video.
◆ Where it's heading
Arcade spent the autumn turning its editor into an AI video studio, with style references, curated scenes and model choice. It is now taking that studio into the assistants people already use, and charging per edit in credits. Localisation and variations push it toward producing many versions of one video for different audiences.
◆ Prediction
Expect more agent-facing work, such as deeper MCP actions or usage-based pricing detail, since the MCP launch already exposes credit costs per edit.
Instapage
0.0MARKETING
Instapage repositions from landing-page builder to multi-surface marketing platform, with personalization-at-scale as the wedge.
◆ Current state
Instapage is publicly transitioning from 'best landing page builder' into a broader marketing platform covering websites, personalization, experimentation, email, and analytics. Two real product launches in the same window — AI Collections for personalized pages at scale and built-in Schema Markup — sit alongside CRO survey content and tactical landing-page examples. The product story is the main editorial thread for the first time in a long while.
◆ Where it's heading
Instapage is pushing to be evaluated as a platform rather than a single tool inside someone else's stack. Personalization-at-scale is the wedge that justifies the broader pricing the repositioning requires and is where AI gets to do real work. Older content — A/B testing primers, examples roundups — is being kept in the feed but the editorial weight has shifted to the platform pitch.
◆ Prediction
Expect more product news on the email and analytics surfaces the platform pitch now claims, plus enterprise-flavored case studies that justify the multi-surface pricing. AI Collections is positioned to grow into the showcase capability.
