|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DThe only one-person plan is Pro at $14.50 a month billed annually, against a $9.99 middle and a $12.99 dear quarter for presentation tools. Pay monthly and it's $45. Team is $40 a month billed annually, and the pricing page can't agree whether that covers 3 users or 1. | DLite is $39 a user a month, or $399 a year, about $33 a month and over three times the category's $10 middle. Premium and above are quoted. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo permanent free plan. The 14-day trial of Pro or Team needs a credit card, and the card is charged when the trial ends unless you cancel in time. Students with a verified .edu email do get a year of Pro free. | DA free trial is offered, but the pricing page does not say how long it lasts or whether a card is needed. |
| Features | CSmart Slides: 300-plus layouts that keep spacing and alignment in order, AI that drafts a deck from your files with an outline to approve first, brand themes, viewer analytics and PowerPoint export.

Lite is capped at 25 downloads a month, 300 a year, and its template is AI-made. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record, and the work is still yours: build the deck, pick a theme, set up the brand. The layouts do the lining-up, which is the whole pitch for people who can't design, but nothing here gets you going faster than its rivals do. | CNo store rating on record. It needs a brand template set up and has a library to learn. |
| Platforms and integrations | BA browser app with no phone or desktop version. It connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Slack, Google Drive, Dropbox, Smartsheet and Airtable, and an add-in brings the layout engine into PowerPoint itself. Offline means exporting a PDF or PowerPoint file. | CWeb only, with no integrations listed. API access is on the Custom plan. |

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.
