# Compare AI presentation tools

> The right tool depends on the file you have to deliver, so this page does not rank anything. It sets Slaide, Gamma, Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini in Google Slides, Canva, Beautiful.ai, Pitch and Presentations.AI side by side on eight criteria. Every cell links to the vendor's own page, every source carries its date, and where the pages say nothing the cell says “not stated”.

## Which tool fits which job?

One short line per tool, drawn from the table below. Pick the row that matches your job, then check the facts in the table before you decide.

### Slaide

Browser app with a Free plan

- **A good fit for:** People who need PowerPoint, Word and Excel files, starting from their own .pptx and brand.

### Beautiful.ai

Browser app

- **Strong on:** Imports any .pptx and inherits its theme where possible; states that AI data is not used to train public LLMs.
- **Watch for:** No free plan, and a 14-day trial needs a card; research and Word or Excel output are not stated.

- **A good fit for:** Marketers and designers who want one design suite for decks, social and print, with a Free plan.
- **Strong on:** Brand Kit, a Free plan, and .pptx import of up to 300 slides.

- **Strong on:** Web search with inline citations on every plan, a Free plan, and .pptx, .docx and .xlsx creation.
- **Watch for:** OpenAI says template matching and advanced chart, shape or formatting edits can need manual refinement.

### Claude

Claude, including the Claude for PowerPoint add-in

- **A good fit for:** Analysts and consultants who want an assistant inside their open deck, with native charts and Word and Excel files too.
- **Strong on:** Reads the slide master, layouts, fonts and colors of the open deck and builds native, editable charts.

- **Strong on:** Imports a .pptx as a workspace template, offers a Research option, and takes theme colors, fonts and logo.

### Gemini in Google Slides

Gemini in Google Slides, with a Workspace or Google AI plan

- **A good fit for:** Google Workspace teams that draft decks in Google Slides and want them to match an existing deck.
- **Strong on:** Works in Slides, Docs and Sheets; Workspace data regions in the US or Europe on supported editions.
- **Watch for:** Generating slides is desktop and English only for now, there is no free Workspace plan, and no master or brand kit upload is described.

- **Strong on:** Works in the file itself, with an Official Brand Kit, the EU Data Boundary, and no training on prompts and responses.

## How we compare

The rules are short, so you can hold us to them.

1. **The same eight questions for every tool.** They are the points that decide whether an AI-made deck is usable at work: an editable file, your own template and brand, Word and Excel, sources, data and cost.
2. **Vendor pages only.** Facts come from public vendor pages as of October 2026. We did not test output quality, which depends on your brief.
3. **A link on every cell, a date on every source.** The numbers in a cell link to the page behind it, and the sources list gives its date. Prices and plan features change often, so the date tells you how old a statement is.
4. **“Not stated” means the pages say nothing.** If a vendor's pages do not say, the cell says so. We do not fill gaps with guesses, and “not stated” is not “no”.
5. **Conflicts stay visible.** Where a vendor's own pages disagree, for example a pricing table against a help article, the cell shows both and links both.
6. **Entry paid plan means the cheapest paid plan.** It is the cheapest paid plan we found that includes the tool's AI features, in the vendor's currency and tax basis. Where a vendor sells only business plans, the cell shows the price per user. That plan may not include every feature in the other columns, so check it before you buy.
7. **No scores, no stars, no ranking.** Slaide comes first because it publishes the page; the other tools follow alphabetically. The order is not a ranking.
8. **A conflict of interest, stated.** Slaide publishes this page and is one of the tools. Its cells come from its own help center under the same rules.

Found an error or an outdated statement? Tell us and we correct it. How corrections and conflicts of interest are handled is set out in the editorial policy.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I choose an AI presentation tool for work?

Start from the file you have to deliver. If the result must live in your own PowerPoint master, Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint and the Claude add-in work inside the open deck. If a draft built in the browser that you finish in PowerPoint is enough, Slaide, Gamma, Canva, Beautiful.ai and ChatGPT export .pptx, and Pitch does so as a premium feature. Then compare the data, price and free plan rows, and test your own file on a free plan or trial before you commit.

### Which AI presentation tool can use my company's PowerPoint template?

Several read part of it. Claude's add-in reads the slide master, layouts, fonts and colors of the open deck, and Copilot uses a Brand Kit with sample slides and falls back to the slide master. Slaide, Gamma, Canva, Beautiful.ai and Pitch import a .pptx as a theme or design rather than as a live master; the template row shows what each keeps.

### Which tools also make Word and Excel files?

ChatGPT Work creates and edits .docx and .xlsx files, Claude creates .docx, .xlsx and PDF files, and Slaide builds Word files for A4 pages and Excel files for workbooks. Microsoft Copilot works inside Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Gamma has no Word export, and Canva, Gemini in Slides, Beautiful.ai, Pitch and Presentations.AI do not state Word or Excel output on the pages we read.

### Which tools have a free plan?

Slaide, ChatGPT, Claude, Canva, Gamma, Pitch and Presentations.AI have a free plan. Slaide's Free plan covers one document with its first 3 pages, Gamma starts with 400 credits once, Pitch gives 100 AI credits that do not renew, and Presentations.AI's Starter plan allows up to 20 slides. Beautiful.ai and Google Workspace offer a trial instead, and Microsoft names no free plan for Copilot in PowerPoint. Claude's PowerPoint add-in needs Pro or higher.

### Where is my data stored, and is it used for training?

That differs by tool and often by plan, so read the data row for the tool and plan you would use. Slaide stores account data in the EU, sends AI requests to model providers in the USA and excludes use for training by contract. Canva and Gamma state US storage by default, Gamma's individual plans are opted in to AI training with an opt-out, and Pitch states hosting on AWS in Ireland. Each cell links the vendor page it comes from.

### Is this comparison neutral, and how current is it?

Not entirely: Slaide publishes this page and is one of the tools. To keep it fair, every cell comes from the vendor's own pages with a link, every source shows its date (21 and 22 October 2026), and “not stated” marks gaps. Prices and plans change often, so open the linked page before you decide. If a cell is wrong or outdated, tell us and we correct it.
