How we grade them
| 2.4GPAGeniallyFair | 2.0GPASlidesgoFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is €6 a month billed annually, or €10 monthly, and an archived copy of Genially's US price file puts the paid plans at $120, $300 and $600 a year, so Pro lands about the $9.99 middle here. The parts teachers want cost more: quizzes with tracking need Master at €20 a member, LMS packages Author at €40. | CNo US dollar price could be read, since the page showed ringgit, so it sits in the middle of presentation tools. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree gets 2 GB, 1,000-plus templates, every interaction and animation, file import and live sessions for up to 50 people. Then the wall: you can't download anything at all, and AI is 500 credits a year. | CA free account gives 3 template downloads and 3 AI presentations a month, with attribution, which you will hit. |
| Features | BThe whole interactive job: clickable hotspots, animations, games, branching scenarios, live sessions with polls, quizzes with per-student tracking, and SCORM, xAPI or LTI publishing to a learning platform. Which plan you need for each is the catch, not whether it's there. | CTemplate library, AI maker, online editor and lessons. Monthly caps apply even on Premium: 150 downloads and 150 AI decks. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record, and the work is building the interactive thing yourself: hotspots, paths, questions. A template, an AI prompt or an imported PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides file gets you a starting point. | CNo store rating on record. You pick a template and then edit it yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with no phone or desktop app listed. It does connect where teaching happens: Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Schoology and D2L Brightspace. | CWeb only on the listing, with downloads for PowerPoint and Google Slides. |
| Best for | clickable lessons, quizzes and games for a class | templates and an AI maker for slides |

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.
