How to choose

What the 26 makers publish

  • 20 of 26 publish a free plan.
  • The lowest published US-dollar entry price is Slidesgo AI Presentation Maker at $3/mo, billed yearly; the median is $10 a month.
  • 5 do not publish a price at all.
  • Most common confirmed features: PowerPoint export (24) and Brand kit (23).

Check before you pay

  • If the deck ends up in PowerPoint or Google Slides, check that export keeps editable text, not flat images.
  • Free plans often cap AI credits or add a watermark to exports; check before you build a client deck.
  • Brand kits are usually on team plans — price it per seat if several people present.
  • Generated decks need fact-checking; budget time to edit, whatever the tool.

How we score

Every fact on this page was read from the maker's own pricing, feature and help pages on Oct 24, 2026 and links to the page it came from. One formula scores every product out of 10; anything a maker does not publish earns nothing, so a hidden price or an unstated limit costs points.

5 pointsShare of the five features below that the maker confirms on its own pages.
1.5 pointsA free plan (0.75 for a free trial instead).
1.5 pointsA published price — or the product is free outright.
2 pointsHow cheap the entry plan is against the other US-dollar monthly or yearly prices in this list. A price in another currency, a one-time fee or a price with no stated period gets the minimum (0.5).
±1.0 maxEditor adjustment, printed on the card with its reason. Commission is never a reason.
The five features: PowerPoint export — Exports the deck to PowerPoint (.pptx). Doc import — Builds a deck from an uploaded document, PDF or URL. Brand kit — Applies your fonts, colours, logo or theme to decks. AI images — Generates images inside the deck with AI. Collaboration — Real-time collaboration or a shared team workspace.
