ProOur pick

$20/mo billed yearly ($240)

A$30.90/user/mo on a 1-year commitment

Teams needing more storage, Vault and tighter device control.

Gold

$100/mo billed yearly ($1,200)

Teams where decks win or lose deals.

Enterprise

Custom

Large organisations with compliance requirements.

Which plan to pickBusiness 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.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.
