Slidebook is a searchable library of public investor presentations and startup pitch decks, filtered by IPO, M&A or SPAC. It does not make slides, and full results and downloads need Pro at $29 a month. - **Value for money: D.** $29 a month is above the $20 where the dearest tenth of presentation tools starts, with no yearly option. - **Free plan and trial: C.** The Basic plan gives extended search results and an extended view, but downloads and full results are Pro. - **Features: D.** Slide search, collections, downloads and filters. It displays existing decks and does not create slides, so as a presentation tool it covers one narrow function. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating is on record, but it is a site you open and search with nothing to set up. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no apps and no integrations on the listing.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 70 of the 89 other presentation tools grade higher. It costs $348 a year. - You could make: Documents: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A library of papers and sources to search. - You could not: A slide editor.
