Beautiful.ai automates layout decisions, which is handy if you don’t want to design. Pitchdeck, on the other hand, gives designers full control inside Figma and handles the rest—exports, analytics, presenter mode. If you already have a design system or need to match product UI precisely, Pitchdeck wins.

Ownership vs automation

Beautiful.ai chooses layouts for you. Pitchdeck lets you decide everything, because you’re literally designing in Figma. That’s essential when brand fidelity matters or when you’re showcasing product screens that need to look real.

Collaboration

Pitchdeck plays nicely with Figma comments, libraries, and versioning. Beautiful.ai lives in its own environment, so collaboration happens outside your design stack. For multidisciplinary teams, fewer tools usually equals fewer miscommunications.

Recommendation

If you need an AI-powered template generator, Beautiful.ai is solid. If you care about pixel-level control, cross-export support, and analytics tied to your Figma files, stick with Pitchdeck.

Hybrid workflows

Some teams design concept slides in Beautiful.ai to brainstorm but move to Pitchdeck once they need stakeholder-ready polish. Because Pitchdeck pulls directly from Figma, you keep ownership of the final assets and can export to any format with analytics intact.
