Before you choose
Compare free access and paid plans
See if each tool offers ongoing free use, a time-limited trial, or both. A free plan can support ongoing use, while a trial gives temporary access to paid features.
Review the paid-from price and its billing unit. Microsoft PowerPoint shows free access, with paid plans beginning at $9.99 per user per month. Apple Keynote shows a free plan, with paid access starting at $12.99 per month.
Check PowerPoint file support
If you exchange decks with PowerPoint users, check whether the tool imports PowerPoint files, exports to PowerPoint, or supports both. Import and export are separate comparison points.
Match the tool to your devices
Review supported platforms before choosing. Entries span web, macOS, Windows, iOS, Linux and Android, with availability differing by tool.
Confirm that the platform you need appears in the tool's published support details, especially when you move between desktop, mobile and browser work.
Look at presenting and offline work
Presenter mode can help when you need speaker-focused controls during a talk. Offline access matters when an internet connection is uncertain.
Check both fields separately. A tool can support presenting without offering offline access, or provide offline work without the presenter controls you want.
Compare teamwork and AI features
Real-time collaboration shows whether people can work together at the same time. Check how that capability fits your sharing workflow.
AI assistance is a separate field in the comparison. Review what the maker publishes about it instead of treating AI availability as a substitute for core slide tools.
