Move your team from Slidebean to Pitch.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Pitch — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in Slidebean is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
Both tools generate a presentation from a text prompt with no manual slide building. Moving from Pitch to Slidebean: export your existing Pitch deck as a PDF for reference, then enter your website URL or business description in Slidebean's AI builder — it outputs slides structured around the standard startup narrative (problem, solution, traction, team, ask). Moving from Slidebean to Pitch: use Pitch Agent by writing a free-form prompt describing your deck; attach any existing PDF or brief as context so the Agent reuses your copy; Pitch applies your workspace template's full design system automatically. Note that Pitch's Agent supports iterative chat refinement (rewrite copy, merge slides) after generation, while Slidebean's builder produces a first draft that you then edit manually in the web editor.
- Warning: Pitch Agent is credit-gated: Free plan gets 100 non-renewing credits; Plus/Team get 6,000 annually per seat. Heavy AI users may exhaust credits mid-project, whereas Slidebean's AI builder is included on all plans with no credit meter.
- Warning: Slidebean's AI structures output specifically for investor pitch narrative (Airbnb-style problem-solution arc); Pitch Agent is general-purpose and generates any deck type, so a Slidebean user switching to Pitch will need to manually specify the narrative structure in their prompt.
- Warning: Pitch Agent can ingest attached files (PDFs, CSVs, call notes) as source material; Slidebean's builder reads from a URL or typed description only.
When migrating an existing presentation library between Pitch and Slidebean, the paths differ significantly. Pitch-to-Slidebean: Slidebean has no native PPTX import; existing Pitch decks must be exported to PDF (or PPTX via Pitch's export), then the content needs to be manually re-entered or used as a reference brief when running Slidebean's AI builder. For high-stakes decks (investor rounds), Slidebean's expert design agency can rebuild the deck from scratch starting at $390 for 6-10 slides with 4-day delivery. Slidebean-to-Pitch: export your Slidebean deck as a PDF or PPTX, then import the PPTX into Pitch using its native PPTX import, which converts it into an editable Pitch presentation. After import, reapply a Pitch template to restore brand consistency.
- Warning: Slidebean does not support PPTX import; there is no automated way to bring an existing deck into Slidebean without rebuilding slide content. Pitch supports PPTX import from PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote exports.
- Warning: Slidebean's expert design service is a separate paid engagement (starting $390–$599), not included in any subscription plan; teams expecting a self-serve import path will need to budget for professional services or accept manual rebuild time.
- Warning: Pitch's PPTX import may not preserve all animations, custom fonts, or embedded video from a Slidebean export; review imported slides for formatting issues before sharing externally.
Both tools share decks as live links and record viewer engagement data so the sender knows who opened the deck. Moving from Pitch to Slidebean: publish your deck from Slidebean's editor and share the generated link with investors; the Slidebean dashboard shows view counts and per-slide time-spent metrics for each recipient. Moving from Slidebean to Pitch: share via a Pitch live link — any edits you make after sending are reflected immediately without re-sending; Pitch's analytics capture visitor identity and engagement across the deck. Pitch also offers custom deal rooms grouping multiple assets for a single recipient, which has no Slidebean equivalent. Historical analytics do not transfer between platforms; both parties should export or screenshot their current engagement data before migrating.
- Warning: Pitch's richer analytics (visitor identity, deal rooms, advanced sharing controls) are gated to Team/Business/Enterprise tiers; the free Pitch tier may not provide the same depth of tracking available even on Slidebean's Starter plan ($7/month).
- Warning: Slidebean analytics track views and per-slide time but do not surface visitor identity (name/email) by default; Pitch markets viewer-level data, which provides more context for sales follow-up.
- Warning: Neither platform allows export of raw analytics event data to a CSV or BI tool, so migrating teams lose their historical engagement history when switching.
Both platforms allow multiple team members to edit a presentation simultaneously in a shared web workspace. Moving from Pitch to Slidebean: invite collaborators via Slidebean's sharing settings on the Accelerate plan ($99/month); teammates open the same deck in the browser and edit concurrently. Moving from Slidebean to Pitch: create a Pitch workspace and invite members (Free tier supports up to 5 members); assign slides to teammates using Pitch's slide-assignment feature and use threaded comments tied to specific slides for async feedback. Pitch's collaboration model includes a shared brand library and workspace-level template access that Slidebean does not replicate, so Pitch teams should pre-establish templates and brand assets in their new workspace before inviting collaborators.
- Warning: Slidebean real-time collaboration requires the Accelerate plan ($99/month billed monthly); it is not available on the free or Starter ($7/month) tiers. Pitch offers collaboration to up to 5 members on its free plan.
- Warning: Pitch's collaboration includes slide assignments and threaded per-slide comments; Slidebean's real-time co-editing does not document per-slide comment threads, so review workflows relying on inline comments will need to move to external tools or Pitch's comment system.
- Warning: Pitch team seats scale by plan (up to 25 on Team, 200 on Business); Slidebean does not publish a per-seat member cap, making it unclear how it handles large teams.
Both products handle visual design through a template or auto-design system rather than manual formatting. Moving from Pitch to Slidebean: Slidebean's editor applies typography, spacing, and layout automatically as you type — pick a template from its 120+ library (many modeled on real funded startup decks) and content formatting is handled. You cannot port a Pitch brand library directly; instead recreate brand colors and logo by editing slide styles in Slidebean's web editor. Moving from Slidebean to Pitch: Pitch supports custom fonts, a workspace brand library with logos and approved colors, and 150+ templates. Supply your domain in Pitch's setup so the AI auto-pulls brand assets; then choose or create a matching template. Neither product supports direct template import from the other, so plan for a design rebuild in the destination tool.
- Warning: Pitch's brand library and admin-managed shared assets are gated to paid Team/Business/Enterprise tiers; a Slidebean user moving to Pitch's Free tier cannot access centralized brand controls.
- Warning: Slidebean's automated design is non-configurable — the system picks layouts; users cannot pin specific layout choices per slide. Pitch gives full manual layout control in addition to its AI suggestions, so design-specific teams coming from Slidebean will have more flexibility but also more setup work.
- Warning: Pitch Agent applies an entire template's design system (spacing, layouts, visual patterns) when generating; Slidebean auto-design applies per-slide rendering logic, not a concept of a 'brand system' owned by an admin.
