Figma Slides vs PowerPoint for the web

Figma Slides is a presentation tool for making and delivering decks, included with seats on every Figma plan. Teams can collaborate through chat, audio, comments, presenter notes, and shared presenting control. Decks can include polls, voting, alignment scales, interactive prototypes, and embedded YouTube videos. AI can revise text tone or length and add presenter notes, while FigJam boards can be converted into presentation outlines. Figma Design libraries provide shared components, variables, and styles, and templates are available from Figma and its community. Slides can be imported from and exported to PowerPoint, and presenter mode is supported. Decks can be preloaded for offline presenting, although offline access is listed as unavailable. Starter is free with limited access to Figma products, unlimited drafts, and up to 500 AI credits per month. Professional Collab seats cost $3 a month; Professional Dev and Full seats cost 12.00 USD and $16 a month, respectively. It is listed for web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
