The report card
Best for web presentations with quizzes and analytics
Emaze makes presentations, websites and other web content, with quizzes, audience analytics and PowerPoint import. The free Basic plan stops at 5 projects. Pro is $9 per user a month on yearly billing, and premium templates, imports and downloads all sit behind it.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro is $9 per user a month billed yearly, inside the category's middle of $10. Education plans at $1 and $2 need a .edu or .gov address. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Basic is free but stops at 5 projects, 3 quizzes and 1 month of audience analytics. A regular user will hit those. |
| Features | C | Several content types, PowerPoint and PDF import, quizzes, analytics and custom domains. Premium templates, imports and downloads are locked to paid plans. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is a web app where you build the content, which takes time. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with a Zoom connection. Downloads as PDF, MP4 or HTML are on Pro. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Emaze is for
- Fits if you want presentations that live as web pages with a link to share
- Works for teachers who qualify for the $1 to $2 education plans

- Pricey if you want premium templates, PowerPoint import or downloads, all on Pro at $9 a user a month

- Watch out: Business is quoted by sales, and the page shows a higher tier above it

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Emaze you could make: templates and surveys. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 34 of the 51 other presentation tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Templates and surveys: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A slide editor.
- A tracking script and a database that counts every visit.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
What this rests on. Emaze’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
