What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

The report card
Best for simple image-led decks on the web and iPad
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. No Android or desktop app is listed. |
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 Haiku Deck is for
- Fits if you want a few big pictures and a line of text per slide
- Works for iPad users who present from the app
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: one deck, public and searchable, with no download
- Skip it if your decks are private, as the $7.99 Public plan makes them searchable on Google
- Too light for data-heavy decks, as the charts are simple
- Watch out: downloads are not part of the free trial, and team prices need a request
Good to know
Good for
- Visual, low-text talks built around photos
- Teachers and trainers who present from an iPad
- Speakers who want to track who opened a shared deck
Worth knowing
- Free Basic is limited to one presentation, shared publicly, with no download.
- The cheapest paid plan, Public, makes every deck searchable on the web; private decks start at Pro.
- The pricing page says downloads are not part of the free trial.
- Team pricing needs a request, with discounts for five or more members.

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