Which one is for you
Pick Plus AI if
- Fits if you already work in Google Slides or PowerPoint and want AI drafts there
- Works for teams whose slides must carry their logo, colors and fonts, on Team at $30 a user a month
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it without a card, as the 7-day trial asks for one and there's no free plan
- Skip it if you make slides on an iPad or phone, since PowerPoint for iPad isn't supported and there are no phone apps
- Pricey if you turn documents into decks, as uploads need Pro at $20 a user a month billed annually
- Pricey if you use the AI all day, because unlimited credits means Max at $200 a user a month
- Watch out: one task uses 40 to 170 credits, and the web app only exports .pptx, without the AI editing tools
Pick SlidesAI if
- Fits if you make slides in Google Slides and want a draft from your notes
- Works for students on the $10 Pro plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 200 credits a month, which is about one deck
- Skip it if you want unused credits to carry over, as they do not and free users cannot buy more
- Pricey if you want 20 or more slides a deck, as that needs Pro, and 50+ needs Premium at $20.83
- Watch out: Teams Pro and Teams Premium prices were not read, and the monthly prices are not in the page text
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAPlus AIFair | 2.2GPASlidesAIFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CBasic is $10 a user a month billed annually, or $15 monthly, which is the middle figure for this category, and it covers both add-ons with 1,500 AI credits. Turning an uploaded document into slides needs Pro at $20, branding needs Team at $30, and all-day AI use means Max at $200. | CPro is $10 a user a month billed yearly, the category's middle. Premium is $20.83. Monthly-billing prices were not in the page text. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan at all. There's a 7-day trial of any paid plan with 1,000 AI credits, and you have to hand over a credit card to start it, which is the thing most people want to avoid. | CBasic is free with 200 AI credits a month, 2,500 characters of input and up to 10 slides. Pro's 30,000 yearly credits cover about 140 decks, so Basic covers roughly one. |
| Features | DIt generates whole decks and single slides, with Rewrite, Remix, an API, Zapier and an MCP server. But it's an add-on, not an editor: it needs Google Slides or PowerPoint to be any use, its own web app only puts out a .pptx, and the AI editing tools don't work there. | CCreate from a topic or document, brand kits, model tiers and an outline step. Document upload and decks over 10 slides need paid plans. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record. There's nothing to set up: you add it to the Google Slides or PowerPoint you already use and carry on working there. Watching credits is the fiddly bit, as one task uses 40 to 170. | CNo store rating on record. Credits, model tiers and brand kits all need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BIt lives inside Google Slides and inside PowerPoint for Windows and Mac, with a web app that makes decks to export, plus an API, Zapier and an MCP server. No phone apps, and PowerPoint for iPad isn't supported. | BWeb, with Google Slides, PowerPoint and ChatGPT connections. No desktop or phone app is listed. |

Worth knowing
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.
SlidesAI
- Unused credits do not roll over, and extra credits cannot be bought on the free plan.
- A Monthly Billing option exists, but its prices are not in the page text, so only yearly prices are recorded.
- Teams Pro and Teams Premium add roles and central billing; their prices were not read.
- Individual and Team plans are sold by Dodo Payments as merchant of record.
Key features
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.
SlidesAI
- Create from a topic or document
- Type a topic, paste notes or a script, or upload PDF and Word files (Pro and up). It asks a few questions about slide count and tone first.
- Brand kits
- Import your branded PPTX template and decks follow its layouts, colors, fonts and logo: 1 kit on Basic, 3 on Pro, 6 on Premium.
- AI credits and model tiers
- Credits pay for AI work. A 10-slide deck on the default model uses 105 credits; higher-quality models cost more per action.
- Outline before slides
- An outline opens beside the chat with one line per slide, which you can edit or reorder before the text is written.
- Works inside other tools
- Available as a Google Slides add-on, a PowerPoint add-in and in ChatGPT, as well as the web app.
- Export
- Present, share a link, or export to PowerPoint or Google 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.
