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 SlideSpeak if
- Fits if you start from a long PDF or Word file and want slides from it
- Works for teams that want an API to generate decks
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 100 credits once, about 3 presentations
- Pricey if you want exports, as PDF and PPT start at Premium, $29 a month
- Skip it if you want your own template cheaply, as the add-on is $129 on every paid tier
- Watch out: prices show a discount from a crossed-out figure with no end date
- Watch out: Lifetime Premium Plus for $359 is advertised as a limited offer
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAPlus AIFair | 1.8GPASlideSpeakWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | DPremium is $29 a month billed monthly, in the dearest tenth of the category, which starts at $20. Annual billing takes 15% off, but its price was not shown. |
| 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. | CThe free plan is a sign-up grant of 100 credits, about 3 presentations. They do not renew, so it works as a taste. |
| 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. | CDocuments to decks, an AI assistant, AI video, an API and brand kits. Export to PDF and PPT starts on Premium. |
| 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. You upload files, spend credits and edit the result. |
| 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. | CWeb only, with an API but no listed integrations or apps. |
| Best for | AI slides inside Google Slides and PowerPoint | AI decks from long documents |

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.
SlideSpeak
- The free plan's 100 credits are a sign-up grant, enough for about 3 presentations.
- A custom template add-on costs $129 on every paid tier.
- The page shows an annual option with 15% off, but its price was not displayed in the page text.
- Pricing is shown as a discount from crossed-out figures with no end date; recorded here as the charged price.
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.
SlideSpeak
- Documents to decks
- Converts PDFs, Word files, Excel sheets and text into structured presentations and exports real .pptx files.
- AI assistant Charles
- Generates content, rewrites wording, changes tone and creates AI images or infographics inside the presentation.
- AI video
- Paid plans list AI video with voice cloning and AI presenters, screen recording and video translation.
- Credits and top-ups
- Paid credits refresh each billing cycle. One-time top-ups, 500 credits for $10 or 2,000 for $30, last 12 months.
- Team and brand tools
- Premium adds team workspaces and live quizzes with SCORM export; Premium Plus adds brand kits with custom fonts.
- API
- A SlideSpeak API lets developers generate presentations programmatically.

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.
