№ 01 · Why switch
  1. 01

    No paid consulting funnel

    Slidebean nudges you toward their design-services upsell. We give you the tool and let you ship.

  2. 02

    AI does the heavy lifting

    Slidebean's AI is content suggestions; ours generates the entire narrative.

  3. 03

    No consulting upsell, flat pricing

    $18/mo Pro vs Slidebean's $19/mo with constant design-service upsells. Free tier available.

№ 02 · What users complain about
Paid services pitch is everywhere

Tool experience constantly pitches "let our designers polish your deck" — useful, but distracting.

$19/mo entry is steep

Premium plan starts at $19/month — high for a tool many founders use sporadically.
