- 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 Prezi if
- Fits if you teach or train and want people answering polls and quizzes from their phones
- Works for starting from an existing PowerPoint, Google Slides or Canva deck
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if your decks are private and you're not paying, since free presentations are public by default
- Pricey if you need PDF export, offline access or the desktop app, which start at Plus, $19 a month billed annually
- Tight if you lean on the AI, with 500 credits a month on Basic and Standard that don't roll over
- Skip it if you want ordinary slides in a row, as the zooming canvas takes learning
- Watch out: these prices come from a guide on Prezi's blog from June 2026, and its monthly rates are approximate
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAHaiku DeckFair | 2.2GPAPreziFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | DStandard is $7 a month billed annually, but it mostly buys privacy settings and unlimited projects. The parts you'd actually pay for, PDF export, offline, the desktop app and unlimited AI, all start at Plus, $19 a month, in the dearest tenth here against a $9.99 middle. Teams is $39 a user. |
| Free plan and trial | CBasic is one presentation, shared publicly and searchable, with no download. That is a trial in practice. | CBasic is free with the full online editor and 500 AI credits a month, then the caps bite: presentations are public by default, storage is limited and there's no PDF export at all. |
| 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 job: AI drafts from a prompt or an imported PowerPoint, PDF or Word file, the zoomable canvas, live polls, quizzes, Q&A and word clouds joined by QR code, and a link afterwards offering a narrated video, transcript and flashcards. Plus gates PDF export and offline. |
| 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 zooming canvas is the learning curve: it isn't slides in a row, so your first one takes longer than it would elsewhere. The audience joins by scanning a QR code. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and iOS, with PowerPoint and YouTube connections. No Android or desktop app is listed. | BA browser app, with the desktop app and offline access held back for Plus and higher. It does take decks in from PowerPoint, Google Slides and Canva, and pulls pictures from Unsplash and Giphy. |
| Best for | simple image-led decks on the web and iPad | zooming talks with live polls and quizzes |

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.
