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. It costs $84 a year. - You could make: Templates and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A slide editor. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
