Best for infographics and visual reports in a browser
Piktochart is a browser design tool for infographics, reports and presentations, with a free plan and paid plans from $10 a member a month. The free plan allows 2 PNG downloads, and PDF and PowerPoint downloads need Business at $17.
Who Piktochart is for
- Fits if you make infographics and reports more than slide decks
- Makes sense if your team shares one brand kit on Business
Who Piktochart is not for
- Tight if you stay free, with 2 PNG downloads and free templates only
- Watch out: PDF and PowerPoint downloads are not on Pro
- Watch out: AI credits are capped at 60 on Free, 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Business
- Pricey if you buy for a team, as each paid price is per member
- Watch out: its pricing page returned an error when we checked, so the figures are from the listing

Keep Piktochart, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Piktochart you could make: templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
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 $120 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A slide editor.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. Piktochart’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.
