Pitch vs Beautiful.ai
These two decks tools differ most on how you get in the door. Pitch lets up to five members work in a free workspace with unlimited presentations, then charges per seat in euros. Beautiful.ai has no permanent entry plan, only a 14-day trial, but it includes PowerPoint import and export on every seat and generates AI content without a stated cap. Pitch is a Berlin-made product, while Beautiful.ai runs from San Francisco. The choice comes down to free collaboration against built-in layout automation.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderVendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Choose Pitch ifyou want a small team to share decks at no cost from the first day, and you can live with Pitch branding on exports until someone upgrades. You also prefer a vendor that states it is made in Berlin.
Choose Beautiful.ai ifyou need editable PowerPoint files and automatic layout fixing on every seat from the first paid month, and a trial is enough to decide. You are comfortable with a company based in San Francisco.

Where they differ
Pitch 4 · Beautiful.ai 2 · open 0- 01
Five free seats against a 14-day trial
Pitch has a Free plan for one to five members at 0 EUR, with unlimited presentations and two external guests. Beautiful.ai offers a 14-day trial of Pro or Team and, in our notes, no plan that stays free afterwards. A team that presents only now and then can keep working in Pitch without paying, whereas Beautiful.ai asks for a subscription once the two weeks end. That is a clear advantage for Pitch.

Yearly seat rates in the listed numbers
Pitch lists Plus at 10 EUR, Team at 15 EUR and Business at 20 EUR per seat per month when paid yearly. Beautiful.ai lists Pro at 14.50 per month billed annually, a Teams plan at 40 per user per month annually or 50 monthly, and a single-project option at 45. The Beautiful.ai figures carry no currency symbol in our notes, so treat the comparison as indicative. Pitch looks cheaper at each step.
Edge: Pitch
- 03
Handing over a PPTX file
On Pitch, the comparison table shows PowerPoint exports are not part of Free, and PDF exports and embeds carry Pitch branding there. Plus adds unbranded output and PowerPoint exports. Beautiful.ai puts PowerPoint import and export in every seat, so an agency that sends editable files to clients gets that from the first paid month. For anyone whose clients insist on PowerPoint, Beautiful.ai removes a gate that Pitch keeps.
Edge: Beautiful.ai
- 04
AI allowance and layout help
Pitch gives Free workspaces 100 AI credits that do not renew, with Plus at 500 credits per month and Business at 750. Beautiful.ai states unlimited AI content generation on every seat, plus over 300 Smart Slide layouts for keeping elements aligned as content changes. Credits that run out are a real planning issue on Pitch, while Beautiful.ai names no cap in what we read. The edge goes to Beautiful.ai.

Group size and sign-on
Pitch scales from Plus for one seat to Team for 1 to 25 and Business for 1 to 200, with Enterprise above 200 members. Beautiful.ai lists Pro for one member and Team for 2 to 20, and its Enterprise tier adds single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, audit logs and priority support on quoted terms. Pitch shows a wider range before a sales call, and our notes say nothing about where Pitch sign-on sits.

The company behind the editor
Pitch's footer reads Pitch Software GmbH, and its about page says it was made in Berlin and started by eight friends in 2018. Beautiful.ai's privacy policy names Beautiful Slides, Inc., with an address on Sanchez Street in San Francisco. Pitch is German and Beautiful.ai is American, as the packs state them, so a buyer who wants a European vendor on the invoice has an obvious answer.
Edge: Pitch
When neither fits
If you want audience polling rather than slide design, look at Mentimeter. If you want a spreadsheet-style tool built into an office suite you already pay for, Microsoft PowerPoint is the more familiar route.
Pitch or Beautiful.ai: questions
3 answersCan a five-person team stay on Pitch without paying?
Yes, the Free plan covers one to five members and allows unlimited presentations. It comes with 100 AI credits that do not renew and only two external guests. Exports there carry Pitch branding.
Does Beautiful.ai charge for PowerPoint export on top of the seat?
The pricing page says every seat includes PowerPoint import and export. No separate export fee appears in our notes. The seat itself starts after the 14-day trial.
Which of the two needs a sales conversation sooner as the group grows?
Beautiful.ai, because its Team plan stops at 20 members and Enterprise is quoted. Pitch lists Team up to 25 and Business up to 200 before Enterprise. Both still quote the top tier.
