Gamma
Best for: A quick first draft of a pitch from a written outline.Fast prompt-to-deck creation with modern themes, useful for getting a first draft of a pitch on screen quickly. Worth knowing: free exports carry a watermark, credits are a one-time pool, and PowerPoint export can be lossy.

Pitch

Canva

FAQ
What is the best AI tool for making a pitch deck?
If you want the deck built from your actual model and notes, Slaide is the strongest fit and is free to start. Gamma is good for a fast first draft, while Pitch and Beautiful.ai are stronger for sharing and keeping a deck on-brand than for authoring it.

Slaide is built for this: it reads an Excel model alongside your notes and assets and builds the deck and its charts from them. Most prompt-first tools work better from written text than from raw numbers, so check how each handles spreadsheets before committing.
Which pitch deck tool is best for tracking who viewed my deck?
Pitch is the clearest choice for tracked links and viewer analytics, and Beautiful.ai also offers viewer insights. If your priority is authoring the deck from your data rather than tracking it, Slaide fits better.
