Chief Strategy Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Beautiful Slidedeck Requires Less Effort than PowerPoint" February 16, 2021 5.0 I started as a free user before they had a pricing model. With the expanded templates, object feature, and other improvements, it is a no brainer to justify the $12-15/month subscription because it will easily save you hours of time on each presentation. Pros The templates make it easy to create great looking slides with a touch of animation. I develop 30-40 slides within a few hours with universal styling and by comparison, that would take me 1.5 days in PowerPoint and I'd spend most of that time standardizing the styling since PowerPoint's autosizing makes two slides look vastly different. Cons Occasionally, you want to nudge something and the template does not allow for that. This aggravation is minor and it happens much less frequently with the addition of their text boxes and objects feature. I recommend finalizing your content before you start working on an animated order (e.g. bulleted lists) because if you reorder the content, it keeps the same order you originally set. Alternatives considered [Prezi](https://www.capterra.com/p/140325/Prezi-Business/) Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai I used Prezi in the past and it is a good alternative to PowerPoint. I prefer Beautiful.ai because of the ease of building a presentation and the subtle animations they developed. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Aggravated by PowerPoints auto-sizing, lack of consistent styling, and trying to develop workarounds to make slides look good. Review Source SB Silvia B. publisher Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great presentations for a very small cost" October 14, 2022 5.0 Pros It took me away from PowerPoint offering a set of features that are both smart and productive. In the beginning, I was annoyed by the fact that the software had some "forced" constraints to help avoid cluttering the page, but as I used the product I learned to produce better presentations and to be a better presenter. I love the templates - for a whole presentation or just a page - and the set of images and media available is great. You can configure your templates and you can have a team area for collaboration Cons sometimes it gets sluggish on my computer and sometimes the old presentations need to be changed because the template has changed. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai I did not choose, I have both. But I use Canva for other kinds of creative products, and I use Beautiful.ai for all my business and personal presentations Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) much better interface and templates Review Source Sanskriti T. SDE Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "How to make presentations easier?" August 18, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with Beautiful.ai was positive. It made creating professional-looking presentations much faster and easier, especially with its smart templates and automatic formatting. I liked that I could focus more on the content instead of spending a lot of time adjusting layouts. However, the customization options can feel limiting when I want more creative control. Overall, it’s a convenient and user-friendly tool for quickly producing polished presentations. Pros Beautiful.ai makes it easy to create polished, professional-looking presentations without spending a lot of time on design. I especially like the smart templates and automatic formatting, which help keep slides consistent and visually appealing while letting me focus on the content. Cons The main thing I liked least was the limited customization. The smart layouts are great for creating polished slides quickly, but they can feel restrictive when I want precise control over positioning, fonts, spacing, or a more unique design. PowerPoint exports can also require some cleanup, and the pricing feels a bit high for some use cases. Review Source Shannon S. Co-Founder Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dismissive Support, Delayed Responses, an No Escalation for Long-Time Customer" March 1, 2026 1.0 I was a paying customer at $50 per month for several years. Recently, I discovered that the same service is now offered at $12 per month and reached out to ask about renewal options. I was not requesting retroactive refunds - only clarification. At the same time, I was unable to access downloads tied to my account and contacted support for help. The responses I received were dismissive and did not resolve the access issue. I was offered promotional pricing, but when I attempted to enroll, I did not receive timely support. By the time I followed up again, the promotional rate had expired. I also requested escalation regarding both the access issue and the pricing concern, and that request was not advanced. Pricing changes are a business decision. My concern is how this situation was handled - particularly the lack of resolution, delayed responses, and refusal to escalate a long-term customer inquiry. Prospective customers may want to consider how support concerns are addressed before committing. Pros The interface is easy to use, although not significantly different than other products on the market now. Cons Overall, the product is easy to use, but you must depend on self-education to maximize the use of the product. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)[Adobe Creative Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/48969/Adobe-Creative-Cloud/) Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai At the time it was the most robust. That's no longer the case. Review Source OW Olivia W. General Manager Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quick, ease of deployment and smart integration." October 10, 2023 5.0 Just like the name, Beautiful.ai results into beautiful work. Easy to use and professional. Pros Beautiful.ai brought the change everyone desires. Being AI powered technology, it is fast and very accurate. I have enjoyed creating slides in a flexible manner and at the end, the results is smart and modern. Cheers to the dashboard which is well designed to beat any need for visual documents. It is very adaptive to the changing world. Cons No frustrations. I have every benefits on my fingertips first hand. It generates presentable and we'll organized documents slides. Switched from [Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/)[Prezi](https://www.capterra.com/p/140325/Prezi-Business/) I needed to save more time and energy in developing documents presentations. Beautiful.ai was a perfect match. Review Source Souleymane D. Training assistant Mining & Metals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Your presentations become more attractive and professional with Beautiful.AI." August 26, 2023 4.0 I have used Beautiful.ai extensively for a long time, and it has been very helpful, especially when I struggle to choose presentation templates or font colors, etc. Beautiful.ai provides me with easy and perfectly tailored suggestions. Pros What I prefer is that its design system is assisted by artificial intelligence, which provides us with a wide range of presentation options. It suggests suitable layouts, fonts, colors, and images based on the presentation content. Moreover, it offers a variety of professional slides tailored to the desired presentations. Cons The only negative aspect is perhaps that we are obliged to trust the algorithm for the presentations, which means we rely on artificial intelligence to create them instead of creating them ourselves. This can be seen as a negative point. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)[Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/)[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/)[Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/154977/Slides/) Before switching to Beautiful.ai, I have used some of these software options that offer different varieties. These are software programs that I highly recommend. Review Source SS Satwick S. Co-Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easiest and Fastest Way to make Slides for work" March 24, 2021 5.0 As a start up founder, time is always on premium and Beautiful.ai helped our team spend less time on making the slides look good and freed us to focus on the content. And now with its advanced sharing and analytics it’s become a very important part of our sales tech stack. Amazing product that is delivering amazing value to us everyday. Pros It’s super easy to use and helps you have a professional looking slide deck ready in jiffy. No more tinkering around with formatting and stuff. Finally the freedom to just focus on the content and not formatting. Plus it’s additional features to share and track analytics make it a must have for sales teams. Cons A few new features are not so obvious but once you discover them they are super easy to use. Alternatives considered [Slidebean](https://www.capterra.com/p/144485/Slidebean/) Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai It’s was free at the beginning to try and I just loved the product experience. Switched from [Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/) Google Slides used to take too much time.

Lead Hand Shaker Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best way to back slide decks" February 8, 2021 5.0 I speak at conferences multiple times a month and need slide decks that support my messaging, this tool does that for me. I normally only have a hour or two to take all my content and turn it into a finalized deck and Beautiful.ai delivers. Pros I love the fact I can knock out stunning presentations in a matter of minutes that I get compliments for all the time. The process is simple and the designs fit most every situation. Cons I have found when trying to have people collaborate on a deck that I am working on complain why I am not just using PowerPoint so I have very little team members who even want to accept the edit invites. I also wish editing colors was easier. Alternatives considered [Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/)[Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) I have loved PowerPoint but even with the new improvements I would take half a day at least to make a new presentation. In addition OneDrive slide hosting has been hot or miss for me in the wild. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Mining & Metals Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good functionality but not a game changer for presenting" July 27, 2021 3.0 I am still trying its features and capabilities, but for the moment I cannot say that I would be creating a presentation with a "made with xyz" logo. Pros 1.Its available templates and themes that can offer you a jumpstart 2. Smart editing into the templates - adding elements of the template without having to spend time aligning or copy-paste graphics Cons 1\. Very limited actions in the trial plan do not let you adopt the app for your presentation. 2. I do not see the pricing offered as competitive vs other available solutions 3. Learning curve and limited trial push you to another solution. Alternatives considered [Pitch](https://www.capterra.com/p/186431/Pitch/) Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai It had more templates than Pitch which made me think that it would be a positive.

Vice President, Giving Sciences Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Product, Truly Creates Beautiful Slides" December 7, 2021 5.0 Pros Beautiful.ai integrates easily into any company's software ecosystem. It makes creating beautiful slides simple and easy. Cons I wish that the offline viewer allowed you to play videos. Currently, the only way to play videos from a Beautiful.ai presentation is to be connected to the internet. Review Source CG Cyndi G. Director of Finance, Administration & Strategic Inititatives Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Rivals Powerpoint " April 14, 2021 5.0 Regardless of the things that I don't like about Beautiful.ai, I feel like the pros outweigh the cons. It has made my life so much easier in terms of making slides, organizing them, and finding them easily. I make a lot of presentations not only for my own use in meetings, but for the head of my organization, so being able to create them fluidly and efficiently has been invaluable to me. I would strongly recommend Beautiful.ai to anyone who makes a lot of slides for their work. Pros Having all of my slides in one place, being able to make folders and organize them is one of my favorite features. The ability to copy slides from other presentations easily is also a big plus. Since Beautiful.ai came out with the templates for each kind of slide that's also been a game changer in ease of use and efficiency in making a slide deck fast and beautiful. Cons If I had to pick something I didn't like it would be the way slides are converted to Powerpoint. The fonts don't match up in what Powerpoint has so when I do have to convert slides to Powerpoint it takes me a really long time, also every little thing in Beautiful.ai is converted as a shape, like bullet points, so if you're adding things to a slide that's been converted, it can take a lot of time to move things around just the way you like. Lastly, I am not a fan of how text is clipped in text boxes, I wish it would just resize the font to fit the text in the text boxes rather than cap you at a text limit. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI April 15, 2021 Hi Cyndi, thanks for taking time to write a review Beautiful.ai! We appreciate hearing what you love, as well as what could be improved. We'll share your comments on exporting slides with our product team. KM Kevin M. Owner Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not a customer centric company" August 20, 2024 1.0 the most disappointing aspect is that my bill was on autorenew and because I did not see it within 24 hrs, they will not refund me. I hadn't used the tool barely in the first full year I paid for it. yes, poor management on my part BUT demonstrates a lack of customer care. Pros quick and easy creation of power points. Some use of AI is pretty good. Cons not able to provide consistency in branding. So as a business, the powerpoint are always looking different with themes and colors etc. Also the tool used is a bit confusing on how to navigate and change slides Review Source DL Denzil L. Student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Beautiful.ai - By FAR The Best Presentation Software Out There!" November 10, 2023 5.0 Pros The UI of Beautiful.ai makes presentation work seem seamless. The templates and the cleanliness of the overall website make presentation work extremely easy. The aspects of each slide can be manipulated into how you desire. There is really no limit to what you can do - yet it will always look beautiful. The use of Stock Images imbedded into the website make presentations a lot easier to make engaging. I cannot stress how useful all of the components of Beautiful.ai are to make a good presentation software. It is extremely easy to make a stunning presentation with it. Cons A lot of its main, core features which draw you into the software, like AI slides, are locked behind a paywall. This can seem frustrating at times - the amount of great features behind the expensive premium membership is near laughable. However, this definitely does not discount from the ability to make beautiful presentations.

Cons Nothing - it is an amazing product and I am a fan. Review Source KD Kim D. Learning & Development Coordinator Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Presentation Software out there" March 24, 2021 5.0 Pros There is literally no other presentation software that I have used that compares to Beautiful.AI, the formatting, the photos, the themes alone take your presentation and blow it to the next level! Especially love how you can customize each slide and make a theme that embodies your company. Cons Some of the navigation could be more user friendly -- for instance I'd Create an undo/delete slide button within the main page instead of having to find it through adding a slide, same for copying a slide over to another presentation. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 26, 2021 Hi Kim, Wow, we're glad to hear you consider us in a league of our own! Thanks for sharing the love.

I have tried so many slide creation programs.... this one app saves me more time than anything." July 19, 2018 5.0 Pros Smooth, easy, clean, crisp, super quick slide creation. The variety of templates is exceptional. And, these are not templates that require you to delete all kinds of images. These are structural templates. Other services give you slides designed by other people and you have to delete so much stuff that it's not helpful. These templates let you just get in and add your info. Cons Does not work very well displayed on the iPhone or Android. Doesn't let you embed video or audio for offline presentations. Review Source Christopher C. Junior Marketing Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Making sales support issues with powerpoint a thing of the past for Marketing Teams!" June 14, 2018 5.0 So much time saved working on the little things for powerpoints. Pros So much time is spent doing the little things to make powerpoints 'perfect' - especiallyevident once you use this software. This makes those little things automated, allowing me to focus on improving the story. Cons As the product is young, things can be missing like truly customizable templates, but it just takes time - new company color settings were added just in the past week. Review Source CR Cory R. Digital Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best presentation tools available" April 10, 2019 4.0 Overall, my experience has been very positive. It's my favorite presentation tool to use. I love the sharing and collaborating abilities and smoothness to its transitions between slides. It's hard to match this tool. Pros I've been using powerpoint for a very long time, but then I came across Beautiful.Ai and I haven't looked back. Beautiful.Ai is very intuitive and easy to use. The end result always looks stunning. Cons It does have some limitations to the layout. It's not always an easy drag-and-drop tool, there's some maneuvering that usually needs to be done to get it to look right. This is the biggest issue of the tool. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Analyst Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Beautiful Presentations With Click of A button" July 19, 2019 5.0 Pros The pre-made templates make it a breeze to look professional. I love the infographics which style up a dull presentation. Cons Sometimes it can be difficult tweaking the templates. Example: I'll like 95% of the template and I'd like to add an image...sometimes it can mess it up a lot. Review Source SA Sami A.
