What our research says

AI PPT Maker

Cheap and undemanding: the entry tier is under $5 and both paid plans get the same features, differing only in credit volume. Accepting documents, spreadsheets and video as input is more flexible than most rivals, and the new Agent and Creative modes add image-model slides. The operator is only named in the terms as a 'PTE. LTD.' entity with no address, so treat it as a tool for non-sensitive material.

Pros

paid plans start at $3.90 a month
builds decks from PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, Markdown and video
exports to PPTX, PDF, Keynote and PNG
Creative Slides mode can draw slides with current image models

Cons

free output carries a watermark and excludes Creative Slides
displayed prices are discounts off $4.90 and $19.90, and promotional prices are non-refundable
the terms name an operating entity but give no address or governing country
no public API found

Beautiful.ai

Buys you consistency rather than creativity — the layout engine stops non-designers producing ugly slides, which is worth real money in a sales org, but you are locked into its idea of what a slide is.

Pros

Smart-slide rules genuinely prevent the usual amateur layout failures
Brand locking and shared libraries make team consistency the default, not a review step
Long-established product rather than a recent generative wrapper

Cons

Month-to-month Pro is $45 against $14.50 on annual billing, so the headline price is a twelve-month commitment
Editing is web-only, with no mobile app and no public API found
The layout engine resists you the moment you want something bespoke
No free plan for non-students — evaluation is a 14-day trial that wants a card and bills automatically
