Beautiful.ai vs Plus AI

Beautiful.ai

• People without design skills who want slides that format themselves
• Teams that need every deck to follow the same colors, fonts and logos
• Students: a verified .edu email gets Pro free for the first year

Plus AI

• People who want AI help without leaving Google Slides or PowerPoint
• Consultants and sales teams turning documents into editable native slides
• Teams that need generated slides to follow their logo, colors and fonts

Beautiful.ai

• There is no permanent free plan; the 14-day trial needs a credit card, which is charged unless the trial is canceled in time.
• Paying monthly costs far more for one person: Pro is $45 a month billed monthly against $14.50 a month billed annually.
• The pricing page is inconsistent on Team: the plan card shows $40 a month including 3 users, while its FAQ states $40 per user per month.
• It is a browser-based app; for offline use Beautiful.ai points to exporting a deck as a PDF or PowerPoint file.

Plus AI

• There is no free plan: a paid plan is required after the 7-day trial, and starting the trial needs a credit card.
• It is an add-on, not a standalone editor: it runs inside Google Slides and PowerPoint for Windows and Mac, and PowerPoint for iPad is not supported.
• Its own web app only generates decks for export as .pptx; the AI editing tools work in the add-ons, not in the web app.
• AI credits belong to each user and reset monthly. Document uploads and image generation need Pro, and custom branding needs Team.

Beautiful.ai

Smart Slides

More than 300 layouts for data, comparisons, quotes, timelines and image grids that keep spacing, alignment and hierarchy in order as content changes.

AI deck generation

Start from a topic, a pasted outline or source files and links, refine the slide-by-slide outline, then choose a theme and image style before the slides are generated.

Brand controls

Brand colors, fonts and logos are defined once in a custom theme and applied to every slide. Enterprise adds configurable brand guardrails.

Team workspace

The Team plan adds real-time collaborative editing, a central slide and template library, a shared asset library, version control and locked slides.

Sharing and viewer analytics

Decks are presented live, shared by secure link or embedded on a website, and analytics show who viewed a deck, which slides they looked at and for how long.

PowerPoint import and export

PowerPoint files can be imported, and any deck can be exported as an editable .pptx or a PDF. A PowerPoint add-in brings the layout engine into PowerPoint itself.

Plus AI

Generate from a prompt or a file

A few sentences, a preset, or an uploaded PDF, Word, PowerPoint or text file becomes a full deck created directly in Google Slides or PowerPoint. File uploads need the Pro plan.

Insert, Rewrite and Remix

Insert adds a single slide in a chosen layout, Rewrite summarizes, expands or changes tone, and Remix reformats existing content into a different slide design.

AI credits

Using the AI agent draws on a monthly credit limit per user, from 1,500 on Basic to 6,000 on Team. A typical task uses 40 to 170 credits, and limits reset on the billing date.

Custom branding and templates

The Team plan applies a logo, colors and fonts to Plus AI templates. Enterprise customers can have slides generated from their own slide masters and asset libraries.

Presets and custom instructions

Frequently used prompts are saved as presets, and custom instructions store context about a person or company for later generations. Team plans share a preset library.

API, Zapier and MCP server

The Presentations API creates native PowerPoint files over HTTP with a bearer key and needs a Pro or Team plan. Zapier and an MCP server offer the same without code.
