Which one is for you
Pick AiPPT if
- Fits if you want to turn a PDF or a web link into a first-draft deck
- Works for people who make a few decks a month and pay yearly
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: the 140 credits are a one-time grant and never renew
- Skip it if you want a hard price, as the discounts have no end date and the lifetime option has no price on the page
- Pricey if you want more than 25 slides a deck, which needs the $11 Pro plan
- Watch out: Google Drive import, merging slides and image-layer separation are tied to plans
Pick Decktopus if
- Fits if you're a consultant or a small agency needing client decks without a designer
- Works for rehearsing a talk and taking practice questions before the real thing
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a proper free try first, as 15 credits is about 3 slides
- Not for you if you might change your mind, because purchases are final and non-refundable
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $24.99 for Pro against $9.99 on annual billing
- Tight if you edit a lot with AI, as each slide or edit costs 5 of Pro's 750 monthly credits
- Watch out: Brand Kit and the team workspace need Business at $19.99 a seat, and nothing works offline
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAAiPPTFair | 1.8GPADecktopusWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPlus is $9 a month on yearly billing against a category whose middle is $10. Pro is $11. The page shows crossed-out higher prices with no end date. | CPro is $9.99 a month billed annually, which is exactly the middle figure for presentation tools here, with 750 AI credits a month and every export. Monthly billing is $24.99 and Business is $19.99 a seat. And the FAQ says purchases are final, with no refunds. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plan is a one-time grant of 140 credits, with 1 Agent task at a time and 10 to 15 AI pages a project. Those credits do not come back, so you will hit the wall. | DThere's no free plan and no trial as such. A new account gets 15 AI credits and a slide costs 5, so you get about 3 slides before paying, which is less than an evening's work, never mind a week's. |
| Features | CTopic, text, files and links in, PPTX, PDF or images out, plus chat editing and a template library. Some things, like merging slides and Google Drive import, are marked by plan. | CA whole deck from a topic or an uploaded file, edits described in plain words, export to PDF, PowerPoint or PNG, and shared links that track who read what. Loop rehearses your talk with AI coaches. The listing's own gaps: Brand Kit and the team workspace need Business, and nothing works offline. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It is a web app where you build the deck, pick one of four modes and watch your credits. | CNo App Store rating on record, and you still write the prompts, judge the draft and watch a credit balance, with 5 credits gone per slide or edit. Typing a topic and getting slides back is the quick bit. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. It exports to PowerPoint and Google Slides files but has no app of its own. | CA web app and nothing else: no desktop or phone app, and the pricing FAQ says decks can't be created, edited or viewed offline. For connections there are two, ChatGPT and an MCP server for Claude. |

Key features
AiPPT
- Input from many sources
- Start from a topic, pasted text, or uploaded PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and image files, or a URL, and the AI structures them into slides.
- Four generation modes
- Agent, Classic, Flow and Visual modes each have their own page limits per project, from 10 to 50 AI slides depending on mode and plan.
- Conversational editing
- Decks can be revised with plain instructions to rewrite content, adjust layouts, add charts or change the theme, according to the vendor.
- Export formats
- Finished decks download as PPTX, PDF or image files, or can be shared online, and the vendor says they stay editable in PowerPoint and Google Slides.
- Template library
- Templates are grouped by use, such as education, business plans, pitch decks and infographics, and users can upload a custom theme.
Decktopus
- AI deck generation
- Entering a topic or uploading a file produces a full presentation with structure, content and design. Generating a slide costs 5 AI credits from the monthly allowance.
- Prompt-based editing
- Any slide can be changed by describing the edit in plain language instead of adjusting the layout by hand. Each AI edit costs 5 credits, shown before the change is applied.
- Loop delivery coach
- Four AI agents gather the context, build a narrative with speaking notes, simulate audience questions and run a live rehearsal that measures pacing and filler words.
- Brand Kit
- On Business plans, a brand kit built from a website URL applies company colors, fonts and style to every deck a team generates.
- Live links and viewer tracking
- A shared link always shows the latest version of a deck. Tracking shows who opened it and how long they spent on each slide, and an email gate turns viewers into contacts.
- ChatGPT app and MCP server
- Decktopus can be called from inside ChatGPT, and a remote MCP server connects it to Claude and other MCP-ready assistants to return a presentation or carousel.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
