Microsoft PowerPoint is a great tool for creating professional-looking slideshows and presentations. However, the home version requires a Microsoft 365 subscription, and the free mobile app also locks some features behind the subscription. Fortunately, there are plenty of free PowerPoint software alternatives available. Here’s a look at some of the best options and how they compare to PowerPoint.

If there’s a need for an app, Google seems to have it. Google Slides is the PowerPoint equivalent and is very similar to Microsoft’s app. Very easy to use and fully compatible with the alternative, you can access Google Slides through your browser and easily create custom presentations with audio and your own images, all for free. It also offers great live collaboration features for teamwork purposes.

The only minor drawback is that you need an internet connection to get started. However, the service also works offline. Presentations will be synced as soon as you are back online.

Prezi is a great option for designers who have a vision but aren’t technically adept at achieving it. Its simple drag-and-drop interface makes it a breeze to organize your presentation the way you want. Supported by other Prezi apps, meaning you can create videos or more stylish data visualizations than simple charts, it’s ideal for industries that are more visual than others. A range of pre-made templates makes it even more appealing.
