Pros & Cons
Microsoft Designer for PowerPoint
- Genuinely free tier (15 daily boosts) provides real value for regular presentation work
- Deep native integration into PowerPoint avoids the need for a separate design app
- Copilot Pro add-on’s 100 daily boosts provide meaningful capacity for heavier presentation builders
- Distinct from the standalone Microsoft Designer app, which can cause naming confusion
- Faster, higher-volume generation (100 daily boosts) requires the $20/month Copilot Pro add-on
- Feature is limited to PowerPoint specifically, not a general-purpose design tool
Beautiful.ai
- Automatic layout adjustment removes tedious manual alignment work
- Keeps design consistent throughout a deck without design skill required
- Well suited to users who already know their content and just need it to look polished
- Doesn’t generate presentation content or structure the way a full AI generator does
- Less useful for someone wanting AI to write the entire deck from a prompt
- Template-driven design has its own recognizable visual style
