| 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. | Make one real deck on Starter. If it beats your current process, Pro covers most people. Gold only makes sense for teams that need custom templates and a shared knowledge base. Compare it with Gamma before paying for a year. |
