| Which plan to pick | Free is fine for a document or two a day. Before paying for Plus, try NotebookLM, which is free, or use Claude or ChatGPT if you already pay for one. | 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. | Pro is the sweet spot for most people because it adds document uploads and the MCP server. Move to Team only when several people need decks on the same brand template. Prices are per user. |
