| Which plan to pick | Use the free credits to make two or three decks and judge the output. If you'll keep using it, Plus is the sensible step because it removes the badge and refreshes credits monthly. Only move to Pro if you want the API, custom domains or viewer analytics. | 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. | Use the free credits on a real task first, like a competitor overview deck. If it saves you time, Basic on yearly billing is the cheapest way in. Prices are often discounted, so check the upgrade screen. |
