What our research says

Motionit

A small indie deck generator whose one real selling point is handing you an editable Google Slides file instead of locking the deck in its own viewer. Set against Gamma or Decktopus it is thin, and the free plan is too small to judge the output properly.

Pros

  • Accepts text, PDF/DOCX uploads and URLs as input
  • Google Slides handoff keeps the last-mile edits in a familiar editor
  • Guided templates for pitch, education and how-to formats
  • Free tier exists, unlike several rivals

Cons

  • Editing in Google Slides is gated behind the paid plan
  • Free plan is roughly three slides a month, effectively a taster
  • No pricing page - amounts only appear inside the signed-in account
  • No company details, no API, and a very small team footprint

Plus AI

The one thing it does that standalone deck generators cannot is leave you with an ordinary Slides or PowerPoint file that colleagues can open and edit without an account. That alone decides it for most corporate users. The absence of any free tier means you evaluate on a carded trial or not at all.

Pros

  • Native add-on for both Google Slides and PowerPoint, output stays in the native format
  • Generates from a prompt, a pasted document or an uploaded PDF
  • Slide-level rewriting, reformatting, translation and image generation after the first draft
  • Separate market-research report generator from a company or industry name
  • Presentations API, agent API and MCP server for programmatic use

Cons

  • No free tier at all; the 7-day trial requires a card
  • Credit-metered, so heavy generation runs out before the month does
  • Team tier is per user, so cost scales linearly
  • Output still needs a manual design pass for anything client-facing
