Piktochart vs Poster

Piktochart is a web-based tool for creating infographics, presentations, documents, print materials, social media visuals, and videos. It includes templates, illustration tools, presentation design, and a brand kit. Charts can use imported CSV data or dynamic data from Google Sheets, while Piktochart AI generates visual content from prompts. Teams can share work, comment, review, and revise in a shared workspace. The Free plan allows 1 to 4 team members and includes 2 PNG downloads, 60 AI credits, free templates, and 1 GB of storage. Pro costs $10 a month billed annually; Business costs $17 a month billed annually, and plans can be canceled at any time. Business, Education, and Nonprofit plans support PNG, PDF, and PowerPoint downloads. Enterprise includes an advanced security review, MSA support, and SSO/SAML. Paid-plan support includes live chat, alongside a self-service knowledge base and email support. Piktochart is available on the web and has no desktop or mobile app.

Poster is a web and browser-extension design tool that turns creative prompts into editable posters. It offers five generation paths—Smart, Creative, Exact, Professional, and Style Fusion—then lets you revise text or replace objects with AI, adjust layers and layouts manually, upload images, and add QR codes. Eligible standard 1K and 2K creations with an Edit button can return to the editor; 4K posters are download-only. Generation uses 2–5 credits according to model and resolution, with the exact charge shown before starting. The free plan costs nothing and gives new users five credits, 1080p output, PNG and JPG downloads, and community support. Starter costs $9.90 a month with 200 monthly credits, 4K downloads, PDF export, custom brand colors and fonts, commercial usage rights, and a priority queue. Pro costs $29.90 a month and adds 700 monthly credits, team workflow, API-ready content rights, and priority support. One-time credit packs are also available.
