Haiku Deck makes short, picture-heavy presentations with built-in image search. Free is one public deck with no download, the cheapest paid plan still makes every deck searchable on the web, and private decks start at Pro. - **Value for money: C.** Public is $7.99 a month billed yearly and Pro is $9.99, both near the category's middle of $10. Private decks and downloads are only on Pro. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Basic is one presentation, shared publicly and searchable, with no download. That is a trial in practice. - **Features: C.** Image search, simple charts, narration and video, and an AI builder. Charts are simple, and privacy and PPTX or PDF download need Pro. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It is a web app where you build the deck, though with a deliberately small set of tools. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and iOS, with PowerPoint and YouTube connections.

What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $95.88 a year. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A slide editor. - You could not: A tracking script and a database that counts every visit. - You could not: A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
