The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/presentations ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace ChatSlide you would be making a video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 53 of the 89 other presentation tools grade higher. It costs $99 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make. - You could not: An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make. - You could not: A slide editor.
