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
Bricks
- Automates genuinely repetitive document creation work for sales and marketing teams
- Combines assets across teams into one cohesive workflow
- Exports to standard formats like .pptx and Google Slides
- Best suited to teams producing similar documents repeatedly, not one-off bespoke needs
- Full value requires real integration with existing sales and marketing asset sources
- Less flexible than manual design for highly custom, non-templated presentations
