Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 9 of the 89 other presentation tools we grade
Slidebook is a collection of public investor presentations and startup pitch decks that can be searched by phrase and filtered by type, such as IPO, M&A or SPAC. It is a reference library rather than a tool for making slides. A free tier shows extended results and a paid tier shows full ones.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Slidebook, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating is on record, but it is a site you open and search with nothing to set up.

The report card
Best for searching public investor decks and pitch decks
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Slidebook is for
- Fits if you research how companies present to investors
- Works for founders who want examples of pitch decks
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want to make slides, as it only finds and shows decks
- Pricey if you want downloads, since they need Pro at $29 a month
- Tight if you stay free, as results and views are limited to extended ones
- Watch out: there is only a monthly price, and the site has a page for takedown requests from owners
Good to know
Good for
- Bankers and analysts looking for slide examples
- Founders researching how other companies structure pitch decks
- Researchers mining market data held in presentations
Worth knowing
- It finds and displays existing presentations; it does not create slides.
- Downloads and full results need the Pro plan.
- The pricing page shows one monthly price and no yearly option.
- The site has a takedown request page for the presentation owners.

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
To replace Slidebook you would be making a library of papers and sources to search. 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.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- A slide editor.
What this rests on. Slidebook’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.
