# A Presentations.AI alternative that works from your own template > Presentations.AI makes a branded deck from a prompt and reads logo, fonts and colors from a website. It has a free Starter plan. If you want to start from your own .pptx, need a clear answer on exporting from the free plan and also want Word and Excel files, Slaide is the one to test beside it. This page sets the two side by side from vendor pages, with dated sources. - Source: https://ai-presentations.com/alternatives/presentations-ai/ - Updated: 22 October 2026 - Language: English - German version: https://ai-presentations.com/de/alternativen/presentations-ai/ 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 Presentations.AI Each point restates a line of the table below. The numbers link to the vendor pages behind it. 1. **Starting from your own template.** The Presentations.AI FAQ does not describe uploading your own template, and its pricing table lists Custom Templates only on Gold. Slaide opens a .pptx of up to 30 MB and reads the theme fonts, colors and each slide's layout. Sources: [FAQ](https://www.presentations.ai/faq), [Pricing](https://www.presentations.ai/pricing), [Help center](https://help.slaide.de). 2. **A clear answer on exporting from the free plan.** Presentations.AI's FAQ calls PowerPoint export a paid feature, while its pricing table lists it on all plans, including the free Starter plan. Slaide's Free plan exports .pptx with a Slaide mark. Sources: [FAQ](https://www.presentations.ai/faq), [Pricing](https://www.presentations.ai/pricing), [Help center](https://help.slaide.de). 3. **Word and Excel as output.** Presentations.AI takes Word and PDF files as input, and its pages do not state Word or Excel output. Slaide builds Word files for A4 pages and Excel workbooks from the same brief as the deck. Sources: [FAQ](https://www.presentations.ai/faq), [Help center](https://help.slaide.de). ## Presentations.AI and Slaide on eight criteria Each cell links to the vendor page behind it.
