Pros and cons

Plus AI

Pros

  • Works inside PowerPoint and Google Slides, so decks stay in native, editable formats.
  • Accepts documents (PDF, docx, text) as source material for decks.
  • Remix feature restyles existing slides rather than only generating new ones.
  • Offers an API and MCP server for use from other AI tools and agents.
  • Company reports SOC 2 Type II compliance.

Cons

  • No permanent free tier; a credit card is required to start the 7-day trial.
  • Credit-based limits (1,500 to 6,000 per month) mean heavy users may need a higher tier, and Max costs $240 per month.
  • Custom slide masters are limited to the Enterprise plan.
  • Requires PowerPoint or Google Slides; there is no standalone mobile app.

Runway

Pros

  • Combines video, image and audio generation and editing in one workspace
  • Offers Runway's own Gen-4.5 plus third-party models such as Seedance 2.0
  • Creative Agent builds videos from a conversation
  • Runway Dev API with Node and Python SDKs
  • Free plan with 125 credits that do not expire
  • Native iOS and Android apps

Cons

  • Credit-based pricing: a 5-second Gen-4.5 clip costs 60 credits, so the 625 credits on Standard cover about 10 such clips
  • Standard and Pro credits do not roll over at the end of the month
  • Some App Store reviewers complain about the cost of failed or unusable generations
  • 4K upscaling is unlimited only on Pro and Max
