|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Basic Free Trying the canvas style 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. | StandardOur pick $7/mo billed yearly Individuals who need private presentations. | |
Enterprise Custom Larger companies with security requirements. | Max From $100/mo Heavy users who also live in Claude Code. | Plus $19/mo billed yearly Regular presenters who want unlimited AI and offline access. | |
Team From $20/seat/mo billed yearly Businesses that want shared brand context and central billing. | Premium $29/mo billed yearly Sales and training pros who want analytics. | ||
Enterprise From $20/seat/mo billed yearly, plus usage Larger organisations needing SSO and audit controls. | Teams $39/user/mo Teams needing shared brand controls and admin. | ||
| 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. | Standard is the minimum for anyone using it for work, because the free plan makes your presentations public. Go to Plus only if you present offline or want unlimited AI. Premium and Teams are hard to justify against Pitch or Gamma unless you need Prezi's analytics specifically. |
