| Which plan to pick | 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. | Business Standard is the plan to be on. Starter is cheap but leaves out Gemini in Docs, Sheets and Slides, which is the whole point. Only move to Plus if you need Vault or the extra storage, not for the AI. | 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. |
