Which one is for you
Pick Haiku Deck if
- Fits if you want a few big pictures and a line of text per slide
- Works for iPad users who present from the app
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: one deck, public and searchable, with no download
- Skip it if your decks are private, as the $7.99 Public plan makes them searchable on Google
- Too light for data-heavy decks, as the charts are simple
- Watch out: downloads are not part of the free trial, and team prices need a request
Pick Pitch if
- Fits if you send sales decks and want to see whether they were opened and which slides were read, on Team
- Works for up to 5 people on the free plan, if Pitch branding on links and downloads is fine
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if link tracking is the point, since it starts at Team, $19 a seat a month paying yearly or $23 monthly
- Tight if you're on your own and might add a colleague: Plus covers one seat, so two people means Team
- Not for you if a small company needs SSO, as SAML SSO and SCIM are Enterprise only, from 30 seats
- Tight if you lean on the AI while staying free, with 100 credits that don't renew and 2 guests
- Watch out: US prices of $13, $19 and $25 sit above the 10, 15 and 20 a seat charged in euros, pounds and elsewhere
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAHaiku DeckFair | 2.6GPAPitchGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPublic is $7.99 a month billed yearly and Pro is $9.99, both near the category's middle of $10. Private decks and downloads are only on Pro. | DPlus is $13 a seat a month paying yearly and covers one person, above the $12.99 dear quarter here. Worse, the tracked links that are the whole reason to pick Pitch start at Team, $19 a seat, nearly twice the $9.99 middle. US rates also run above the 10, 15 and 20 charged elsewhere. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is one presentation, shared publicly and searchable, with no download. That is a trial in practice. | BFree with no time limit for 1 to 5 members, with unlimited presentations, custom templates and basic sharing links, which a small team could work on. The catches: Pitch branding stays on downloads and share links, there are 2 guests, and the 100 AI credits never refill. |
| Features | CImage search, simple charts, narration and video, and an AI builder. Charts are simple, and privacy and PPTX or PDF download need Pro. | BCovers the whole job: a full slide editor with templates and AI, several people editing at once and assigning slides to each other, links that report visits and time per slide, pitch rooms for clients, an API and an MCP connector. Advanced links and rooms start at Team. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It is a web app where you build the deck, though with a deliberately small set of tools. | CNo App Store rating on record, and the deck is still yours to build, with roles and teamspaces to set up for a team. You can start from a template or an AI prompt, and you send a link instead of attaching a file. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and iOS, with PowerPoint and YouTube connections. No Android or desktop app is listed. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, the full set. On top of that Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Google Analytics, Loom and Zapier, an API for building decks from other systems, and an MCP connector on every 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.
