Which one is for you
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
Pick SlideShare if
- Fits if you search for slides on a topic
- Works for people who publish a deck to be found
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to build slides, as it is a hosting and discovery site
- Tight if you want downloads or to copy text, which need a subscription
- Watch out: the subscription is tied to Scribd, with no price we could read
- Watch out: the page is ad-supported until you subscribe
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAPitchGood | 2.4GPASlideShareFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | CThe subscription price was not shown on pages we could read, so it sits in the middle of presentation tools. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | BBrowsing, reading and uploading are free; downloads need a subscription. The page offers a 30-day free download period. |
| Features | 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. | CA public library with uploads, downloads, text copying and ad-free reading. It hosts and finds decks rather than building them. |
| Ease of use | 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. | BNo store rating on record. Open the site, search, read. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | CWeb only on the listing, with no apps or integrations list. |
| Best for | team decks you send as tracked links | browsing and uploading public decks |

Worth knowing
Pitch
- Plus covers a single seat; a workspace with more than one member has to use Team or Business.
- Prices depend on billing country: the US rates here are above the euro, pound and rest-of-world dollar rates of 10, 15 and 20 per seat a month on yearly billing.
- Free-plan AI credits are a one-time 100, and removing Pitch branding from downloads and share links needs a paid plan.
- Advanced links, pitch rooms and workspace roles start at Team; SAML SSO and SCIM are Enterprise only, which needs at least 30 seats.
SlideShare
- The subscription price was not shown on pages that could be read, so no plan prices are recorded.
- Downloading and copying text from decks needs a paid subscription.
- It is a hosting and discovery site, not a tool for building slides.
- The subscription includes access to Scribd documents, so it is tied to that service.
Key features
Pitch
- Slide editor and templates
- Start from a blank canvas, a template or AI-generated slides, then adjust every detail by hand. Paid plans add custom fonts and video uploads.
- Live co-editing
- Several people edit a deck at once, assign slides to each other and leave comments. Team and Business add admin, creator and commenter roles, and commenters do not take a paid seat.
- Advanced links
- Share links that track visits, slide views and time spent per slide, and can require a visitor's email or allow PDF download. Team includes 25 and Business is unlimited.
- Pitch rooms
- A pitch room gathers decks and other resources behind one link and shows how a client engages with them. Team includes 2 shared rooms and Business is unlimited.
- AI credits
- AI actions that speed up slide creation draw on credits: 100 one-time credits on Free, 500 per seat a month on Plus and Team, and 750 on Business. Extra credits can be bought.

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.
