| Which plan to pick | If you already pay for Claude, you have it. Try it on Free first, and move to Pro once you're making more than the odd document, because decks use up a Free allowance fast. Team makes sense when colleagues need to open and comment on the same documents. | Free is enough to see if it fits how you work. If you'll put visuals in client decks, Plus removes the branding and adds PowerPoint export for $9 a month on yearly billing. Pro is for people who need custom fonts or lots of credits. | 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. |
