Decktopus vs Plus AI

Decktopus

• Consultants, agencies and small firms that need client decks without a designer
• Presenters who want to rehearse and take practice questions before a talk
• Redesigning an existing presentation file while keeping its content

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

Decktopus

• There is no ongoing free plan: new accounts get 15 AI credits, about 3 slides, and further use needs a paid plan.
• Brand Kit, the team workspace and custom domains are Business features; Pro is a single-person plan.
• An internet connection is required: the pricing FAQ says presentations cannot be created, edited or viewed offline.
• The pricing FAQ states that all purchases are final and non-refundable.

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.

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.

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.
