| Attribute | Beautiful.ai | Claude Design | Pitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | ProOur pick $14.50/mo billed yearly, or $45 month to month One person who makes decks regularly. | Free Free Trying a deck or two. | Free Free Individuals and teams of up to five trying it out. |
Team $40/user/mo billed yearly, or $50 billed monthly Teams of 2 to 20 who need consistent decks. | ProOur pick $20/mo, or $17/mo billed yearly Anyone making decks or mockups most weeks. | PlusOur pick €10/mo billed yearly One person who sends decks to clients. | |
Enterprise Custom Larger companies with security requirements. | Max From $100/mo Heavy users who also live in Claude Code. | Team €15/seat/mo billed yearly Small teams building decks together. | |
Team From $20/seat/mo billed yearly Businesses that want shared brand context and central billing. | Business €20/seat/mo billed yearly Larger teams sending lots of decks. | ||
Enterprise From $20/seat/mo billed yearly, plus usage Larger organisations needing SSO and audit controls. | Enterprise Custom Companies of 30 or more seats with security needs. | ||
| Which plan to pick | Pro on the yearly plan is the only sensible individual option, because month to month costs three times as much. Go to Team only if several people build decks and you want the brand locked, since $40 a seat adds up fast. | If you already pay for Claude Pro, you have it. If not, try Design on the Free plan and move to Pro when the daily limits get in the way, which happens quickly once you're iterating on a deck. Team makes sense when several people need the same brand setup. | Start on Free, which is enough to decide if the editor suits you. A solo consultant should move to Plus for clean PowerPoint exports. A sales team of three or more should go straight to Team for the shared credits and viewer tracking. |
