Pricing page fetched directly 2026-08-19. Basic (free): 12 AI presentations per year, 2,500-character input per presentation, 120 AI credits per year. Pro: $10/mo billed monthly or $120/yr ($8.33/mo effective, listed 16% savings). Premium: $20.83/mo or $250/yr. Exact per-tier feature deltas (credits, seats) beyond presentation counts were not fully itemized on the fetched page. A secondary web-search summary described the free tier as '3 presentations per month' rather than 12/year; that figure could not be independently confirmed against the live pricing page and is treated as less reliable than the direct fetch. Install/rating figures (15M+ installs, 4.3 stars) come from third-party summaries of the Google Workspace Marketplace listing, not a direct fetch of that page, so are UNVERIFIED against the primary listing itself though widely repeated. Ranked 5th (behind Gamma, Beautiful.ai, Plus AI, Pitch): it wins on Google Slides-native distribution and install base, not on standalone design quality or collaboration depth. Re-fetched 2026-08-27: the free-tier input limit is confirmed 1,000 characters per presentation, correcting the 2,500-character figure from the 2026-08-19 fetch (page appears to have changed, or the earlier read mis-parsed a different tier).
