Before you pay
Who it is for
Beautiful.ai lays out slides for you, so a proposal or client deck looks finished quickly. You give up some manual control over layout, so complex design work belongs elsewhere.
What a year costs
Pro is $14.50 a month billed annually, $174 a year. The only month-to-month way to get Pro features is the single-presentation card at $45 a month, cancel anytime. Teams is $50 a month for three users billed monthly, $600 a year. We read the same $14.50 on 5 September, 10 October and 25 October.
What we would check before paying
There is no free plan and the 14-day trial asks for a card, so set a reminder. If you make one deck for one pitch, the $45 single month costs less than a year of Pro; if you make decks every month, Pro does.
