# A Pitch alternative for decks that end up in PowerPoint > Pitch is a browser-based presentation editor with a Free plan and PowerPoint import, and it states that it is hosted in Ireland. If PowerPoint export has to work on your plan, the brand should guide the AI and you also need Word and Excel files, Slaide is worth testing next to it. This page sets the two side by side from vendor pages, with dated sources. - Source: https://ai-presentations.com/alternatives/pitch/ - Updated: 22 October 2026 - Language: English - German version: https://ai-presentations.com/de/alternativen/pitch/ Published by Slaide, one of the tools compared. No tool gets a score. As of: 22 October 2026. Prices are shown in the currency and tax basis of each vendor's page and are not converted. The entry plan may not include every feature in the other columns. ## Three reasons to look beyond Pitch Each point restates a line of the table below. The numbers link to the vendor pages behind it. 1. **PowerPoint export on the plan you use.** Pitch lists PowerPoint export as a premium feature, and its pricing page lists it inconsistently for Plus. Slaide's Free plan exports .pptx too, with a Slaide mark.

Slaide builds Word files for A4 pages and Excel workbooks from the same brief as the deck. Sources: [Help center](https://help.slaide.de). 3. **A brand that guides the AI.** Pitch offers a slide style and uploaded custom fonts, and its pages do not state a brand kit. Slaide's brand holds colors, fonts, logo and tone, or is read from a website, for up to 5 brands.
