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. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A slide editor. - You could not: Several people working in it at the same moment. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
