Owner Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not a customer centric company" August 20, 2024 1.0 the most disappointing aspect is that my bill was on autorenew and because I did not see it within 24 hrs, they will not refund me. I hadn't used the tool barely in the first full year I paid for it. yes, poor management on my part BUT demonstrates a lack of customer care. Pros quick and easy creation of power points. Some use of AI is pretty good. Cons not able to provide consistency in branding. So as a business, the powerpoint are always looking different with themes and colors etc. Also the tool used is a bit confusing on how to navigate and change slides Review Source Leonard C. Independent Consultant Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Beautiful output, Pretty quickly" November 15, 2018 5.0 I actually use 3 different online presentation platforms for different purposes. Of these 3, I use B.ai the most often because it meets my needs for "basic" presentations and looks great for those standard cases. You can use prefab templates with Powerpoint or Keynote, but (a) you probably have to buy them, and (b) they'll take you longer to create the finished product which \*may\* be prettier than what you'd produce with B.ai, or it might just be about the same visual quality. Either way, your time is probably better spent using B.ai to quickly create something that looks pretty darned good. Pros Far better-looking results than Powerpoint & Keynote in less time and hosted online. It's easy with B.ai to produce really nice-looking presentation slides. While you don't have full control over everything, that is on-purpose. By "constraining" you via various slide templates - which have a good degree of controllable variation and flexibility, but not \*full\* control - you end up with really good looking slides in a short period of time. Essentially B.ai prevents you from wasting time and energy on dead-end paths that would give you ugly-looking slides. Having your presentations hosted online means you have access to them anywhere you go. It also means when you share them with others, they will always see the most up-to-date content as you make revisions or additions on your end. Cons There isn't full creative control over the visuals. As mentioned above, that's why B.ai allows you to produce really good-looking slides quickly. However, if you have a creative bent (and the requisite skills), sometimes you want to really make something that wows. B.ai won't give you the control and ability to do that. On these occasions, you'll need to use a different platform to get really fancy and creative. Review Source Amanda C. Business Development Director Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for startups!" March 25, 2021 5.0 I easily made a new pitch deck and sales deck within a small amount of time! Pros Being able to share the presentation with colleagues or clients via a link is wonderful. I love the built in formatting and reformatting after changes. Cons Would like more font options that sync with windows fonts. This would be especially helpful when needed to download for .ppt. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Easy program to use and easy share options. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 27, 2021 Hi Amanda, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Beautiful.ai! Glad to hear our formatting and sharing are so useful to you. Beautiful.ai incorporates the principles of design down to our font list. Our defaulted typefonts were selected for their high legibility, geometric shapes, friendly vibes, and modern elegance. We offer the ability to upload your own custom font (or any of the ones that windows provides). If you use one of our fonts, you can always install it on your machine (we offer a download option as well). If you run into any issues, or have any questions, please reach out to hello@beautiful.ai to connect with our success team.

Owner Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beautiful product" March 24, 2021 5.0 I love it and recommend it to everyone. Use it over powerpoint every time. I wish they were doing features and improving a bit faster. Pros The pre-selected layouts and fonts are a no brainer to create fast, professional looking visuals that resemble more marketing material than powerpoint created slides. It's easy to use, intuitive and fst, with a great library of royalty free images for every need. Cons More flexibility with text arrangement, sizing and fonts. I feel that the focus is too much on presentations for pitches or marketing, and when it comes to visual aids for learning, it can be limited. Also portability to powerpoint (exporting) should be improved. Text is exported as its own text box for each bullet/content which makes it an alignment nightmare if you want to work on the exported document. Also, there's always at lest one slide that does not export at all. It is a fantastic product but I feel they are becoming stagnant when comes to improving the user experience. Haven't seen a lot new in the past year to improve this. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 27, 2021 Hi Gabriela, Thanks for sharing your love and recommending Beautiful.ai to others! We appreciate you also taking the time to share your experience and suggestions on exporting to other formats.

Principle Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Impresses my audience with the images and features of the Beautiful.ai slides " March 24, 2021 5.0 I have been using for several years now and am always gratified that the presentations I do with Beautiful.ai get such positive feedback. Having the ability to customize fonts and colors makes it absolutely my go to presentation tool. Pros I always get such a positive reaction from my clients and others when I use the Beautiful.ai slides. They are so well thought out in terms of features and functionality that I'm able to craft most presentations using them as is, without having to resort to other products. The ongoing updates to the slides and the example presentation decks are really a good jumping off point to inspire me when I start on a new deck. Cons The ability to create and then merge separate decks is quite annoying. It would be a total home run if I could upload Powerpoint decks into Beautiful, as well. There are some restrictive elements of the animation and build features that are also hard to work around and some basic ideas are not captured well (organizational structure, work breakdown structure as examples). Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) How much more gorgeous Beautiful.ai is! Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 26, 2021 Hi Maureen, Thanks for reviewing us, and for the great suggestions on how to improve the tool! You list out a few things we'd definitely like to pursue in the future. Please email hello@beautiful.ai to be added to our notification list for potential changes in our offering. Fabián M.

It is one of our better tools that we use daily. Now we can't live without it. Pros Beautiful.ai is a powerful tool that will help you to create great presentation in an easy way and with tons of useful templates. You can also can watch mi YouTube video where I explain hoy easy is to use this great tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Zqg0UPiazs&t=21s Cons Sometimes if you have poor internet it will cost you to work on it. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai Good interface, easy to use. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 26, 2021 Hi Fabian, Wow, thanks for sharing your thoughts here and via Youtube. Undoubtedly, our Spanish-speaking users will appreciate watching your video to see what you think of the tool. We're glad Beautiful.ai has been so useful to you! FL Fiona L. Director of Planning Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic tool that makes it easy and fun to design presentations" November 23, 2023 5.0 I really enjoy using Beautiful.ai. With no design skills, I can easily prepare professional and interesting presentations. Pros The software is fun to use and allows you to design professional slides very easily. Import and export to powerpoint is easy meaning that other materials can be incorporated and presentations shared or delivered off-line. Cons It can be a bit fiddly to get the exact format of slide needed. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Beautiful.ai is more fun and flexible to use Review Source TU Timo U. CEO & Co-Founder Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fast way to make beautiful presentation decks" July 31, 2021 4.0 I use Beautiful AI when I want to present some research quickly - I like the charting slides can be done quickly and they look really nice, better than Canva. Pros I like they have integrated the endless source of free images to illustrate the presentations and basically cover all possible slide templates you might need. Setting up your deck is nicely fast. Cons While presentations can be also exported to PPT, to be later used as background on Zoom presentation, I wish there would be easy way to use Beautiful AI presentation automatically as Zoom background or that Beautiful would have a presenter overlay function when you'd like to record a live presentation. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI August 2, 2021 Hi Timo--Thank you for taking the time to share your experience using Beautiful.ai. We're glad to hear you can create decks quickly. You can present your Beautiful.ai deck on Zoom, just as you would a PowerPoint. It sounds like you'd like to next-level that experience and an overlay feature would be a great addition to your workflow. We'd love to connect with you more on this. Would you email hello@beautiful.ai to connect with one of our Product Success team? John Anthony M. Managing Partner Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Presentations with Pride" March 24, 2021 5.0 Pros Whatever the topic may be, there is always a template available that is perfectly laid out to jump start the slide design process. I never find myself stuck for ideas on how to make attractive slides that hold my audience's attention. My SME always looks like it has a full-time designer on staff creating our presentations, when in fact all the hard work is being done by Beautiful.ai. Cons On very rare occasions I find myself wishing I could customize the lay outs a bit more. For example, sometimes I'd like to move a bit of text or image, but I can't. However, I know the software is keeping the integrity of the design of a particular template, and the end result looks personal. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 27, 2021 Hi John Anthony, We love hearing that your SME is able to create presentations that rival a full-time designer! Thanks for taking time to review Beautiful.ai and share your experience. Julie Lynn T. ceo Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Like visiting the future" March 26, 2021 4.0 I use this for proposals and presentations that are high level and don't need a ton of detail. For those presentations I still use PPT. Pros I am a PPT lover, i would live in it. But finding Beautiful.AI was like visiting the future - fantastic templates and examples, prebuilt slides that look amazing, and relatively easy to use for very high level information. and now that it exports to PPT, I'm a happy camper. Cons It's not foolproof, there are areas where it's super finicky. The ability to customize the templates is not easy and can feel confining. Also, there are no speaker note abilities if you are accustomed to using those. Reason for choosing Beautiful.ai The regular updates and product improvements are great, the maintenance of the library in the cloud and exporting to PDF and PPT make this a mandatory complimentary product.

Education Consultant Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic resource that takes the pain out of presentations" March 17, 2021 5.0 Great to be able to use and present with. Attendees to international conferences and events have commented on how lovely they think the slides are. Pros I really love the way Beautiful.ai makes any presentation look amazing. Very easy to customise and make it your own without ruining the aesthetic of what you are presenting. Cons Audio doesn't work as well as it should do, it can sometimes overlap and reloop over one another when you are presenting. I couldn't trust it would work so had to instead use a separate programme Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) It just didn't look as nice to be honest. Review Source Response from Beautiful.AI March 19, 2021 Hi Sarah, it's great to hear Beautiful.ai has had such a positive impact for you. Thanks for sharing! Regarding the audio issues, our engineering team is in the middle of overhauling our audio features so this should be resolved in the next couple of weeks. Can I connect you with support so they're able to notify you when the update is released? Thanks again! AG Aleksandra G. Director Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Disappointing Experience with Subscription Cancellation and Refund Policy" March 21, 2024 2.0 Disappointing Experience with Subscription Cancellation and Refund Policy Pros This platform is relatively easy to use Cons I signed up for a premium trial at Beautiful.ai with the intention of exploring its features to enhance my presentations. After testing the service by using just one template on the first day, I realized it wasn't a fit for my needs. Unfortunately, I missed the cancellation deadline by a mere day and immediately reached out to support to cancel my subscription, clearly stating my intention not to use the service further. Despite my immediate communication and clear indication that the service did not meet my needs, I was charged for a full month's premium subscription. When I requested a refund, citing my minimal use and prompt cancellation request, I was informed that due to policy, refunds for monthly subscriptions are not offered. My subscription was canceled for the next cycle, but I was left paying for a service I knew within a day I would not use. This experience has been disappointing. I understand the importance of policies, but I also believe in the value of customer satisfaction and flexibility. Charging customers who have immediately recognized and communicated that a service is not right for them does not seem in line with fostering positive customer relations. I had hoped for more understanding and flexibility from Beautiful.ai. I urge Beautiful.ai to reconsider its approach to customer service, particularly its refund policy on monthly subscriptions. A more accommodating stance could prevent future customers from feeling disappointed and unfairly treated as I do now. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO and Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Predatory Trial Policies" February 25, 2024 1.0 Poor. My request for a prorated refund was entirely reasonable; the policy isn’t. Pros As an independent contractor I was looking for help with creating a branded slide template and in particular some design help for a specific comparison slide. The tool didn’t meet my expectations for this use case. Cons The trial policies are predatory. The solution didn’t fit my purpose but the trial ended and a 1 year license was charged. The company refused to refund a pro-rated amount because the policy only provides a refund with 24 hours of the charge. The email with the charge doesn’t restate the fine print. I also asked for my card info to be deleted (I can’t remove it from the user interface in my own) and received no reply. These are terrible practices for a tool I evaluated and received no value from and expect to never need to log in again. I can accept my mistake for the missed cancellation, but I think a prorated refund is entirely reasonable and the company should have worked with me. Review Source FM Fermin M. Innovation Senior Advisor Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Performance limitations" April 14, 2021 4.0 Great results when you show a presentation to clients or stakeholders. They can see a clean modern design that takes you to another level. Pros Differentiation and excellent results in the design of presentations when you know and master the functionalities. Cons It is not as easy to use as others. Normally, you need to invest more time than others to reap all the benefits when you start using it. Some performance lapses and consumes a lot of device resources.

SDR Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Predatory Practices - Buyer beware" January 12, 2024 1.0 Horrendous, terrible customer support and predatory billing practices. Pros Average at best, the platform is really no better than Google Slides or MS Pwr Pt. Nothing special about it to begin with. Cons I trialed Beautiful.ai to prepare a presentation for a job interview. Like many of us have experienced - the trial expired and I forgot to cancel. These guys proceeded to then charge me for a full year subscription ($150) versus enrolling me in a monthly (standard practice). This is predatory and slimy. I reached out directly to the support team and they did nothing (predictable). I'll be sure to direct everyone in my network to competitors.

SVP Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A GAME CHANGER!" March 17, 2021 5.0 Amazing! Thank you very much! Pros Beautiful.AI changed the way I think about presentations. I once dreaded making the PowerPoint deck \*or GoogleSlides) and would wait till the very last minute, negatively impacting my preparedness and effectiveness of my presentation. I tried Beautiful.AI over a year ago, and ever since, I actually get excited about creating my presentations. I find that I'm focusing on the content, not nit-picking the details (because it does that for me!). I absolutely love the templates and 95% of the time find something I can just use off the shelf. I have become more effective thanks to this software, I couldn't be more grateful and would love to see more people use it! Cons Since it lives in the cloud, if your internet slows, the software can slow. It never actually froze, just showed some lag. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/)[Google Slides](https://www.capterra.com/p/178686/Google-Slides/) Tried Beautiful.AI and never looked back.

Student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Beautiful.ai - By FAR The Best Presentation Software Out There!" November 10, 2023 5.0 Pros The UI of Beautiful.ai makes presentation work seem seamless. The templates and the cleanliness of the overall website make presentation work extremely easy. The aspects of each slide can be manipulated into how you desire. There is really no limit to what you can do - yet it will always look beautiful. The use of Stock Images imbedded into the website make presentations a lot easier to make engaging. I cannot stress how useful all of the components of Beautiful.ai are to make a good presentation software. It is extremely easy to make a stunning presentation with it. Cons A lot of its main, core features which draw you into the software, like AI slides, are locked behind a paywall. This can seem frustrating at times - the amount of great features behind the expensive premium membership is near laughable. However, this definitely does not discount from the ability to make beautiful presentations. Review Source sZ shamaila Z.

However, I was still charged for the yearly subscription. Please refund back as soon as possible, I absolutely can not afford this. Cons My money was taken out of my account after cancelling the free trial Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Digital Marketing Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for a Marketing Agency" March 24, 2021 5.0 Overall a great product with an amazing ease of use piece. Very cost effective and easy to collaborate with multiple teams. Pros The ease of collaborating and being able to focus time on things other than making my presentation look and feel polished. Cons There are some functionality issues and at times the control over color schemes is limited, but ease of deployment is fantastic.

Helpdesk Agent level 2 Managed Services Operations Retail & Hospitality Helpdesk Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fast and easy way to create visually stunning presentations. " January 17, 2019 5.0 Perfect tool for situations when you need to make a good looking presentation in a short period of time. Pros What makes this app different is the ability to save you time while enabling you to create some visually stunning presentations. A lot of predefined templates are ready and wait for you to jump in and start working on your presentation. I was truly amazed with the sheer number of free images, backgrounds and icons that you can use as assets. But the true power of this software lies in the ability to adapt: You can insert, pull, add and move around the presentation objects and the app will respond. It will auto arrange, resize, change the color of assets and even pick nice contrasts and color variations for you. I mean, if you need a presentation, and you need it ASAP, this is the right software. It doesn’t boggle you down with twisting and strange formatting, you don’t need to worry about the assets because you have a ton to choose from. I’m using this software for fast creating of simple but visually beautiful presentations. So, basically I know what I want and this app really delivers it. If I want to create something more complex or to embed a video into the presentation I’d use different and some more traditional applications. Cons This is not a con, more of a remark: This software is meant to be used for simple presentations which look good. For more complex project you should be using a different solution.

I can create amazing and wonderful presentations super quick and keep the same styles over time and with different clients. I implemented in my company at that save so much time when we have to get ready the presentations. Pros Easy and fast way to add default slides. Quick to change the colours, font, template. And the outcome it is "beautiful". Cons To be honest, I am happy with it. The free version you cannot edit online with users but that is normal. And some slides you cannot customise.

COO Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Made all the difference" March 24, 2021 5.0 It is easy to use, easy to teach and works for all sorts of important communication needs we have at ECP Pros Our firm had been selling using an e-book case study. We redefined our approach and built dynamic presentations using b.ai and we are seeing 30% increases across the board on our Regional Director's performance.

Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Stunning presentations for design-challenged individuals" April 14, 2021 5.0 Super easy to create impactful stunning presentations without having to fiddle with alignment, resizing, animations of individual elements. Pros Layout library with opinionated automated layout system that keeps you "in the rails". Fantastic stock image and icon library makes it easy to pick the image that makes the slide pop! Theme editor makes it easy to apply a consistent look across all your company presentations. Charts are great. Cons Working with tables can be finicky. Don't use this tool to create information-dense reports. Importing data for embedded charts could do with some improvements - right now only copy-paste sort-of works. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) Too much work required to achieve the same elegant look as a beautiful.ai presentation.

April 13, 2021 5.0 This is indeed my favourite tech product because it has helped me create an impact on my audiences and has made me successful in my area of work. Pros I love creating impactful presentations and the AI used for themes, layouts, fonts, and structures remove all the thinking and worries of "which one looks better" and helps me concentrating on my content. Cons I'm an early user of this product and it has few features which did not exist then, however, the Tables and Elements have filled up the missing gaps. Switched from [Microsoft PowerPoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/141633/PowerPoint/) I understand that design plays a vital role in the digital era. When I saw Beautiful.ai on producthunt I wanted to give it a try and since then I got hooked on it. I was impressed with the suggestions and the restrictions it has in place to make every slide look perfect. I did visit Powerpoint and discovered the Design Idea feature, however, Beautiful.ai is unbeatable and unmatchable.
