Why consultants choose Deckary over Beautiful.ai
Professional slides need more than design automation
No platform lock-in
Beautiful.ai locks slides into their platform. Deckary creates standard .pptx files that work everywhere PowerPoint runs.
Consulting-style structure
Pretty slides aren't enough. Our AI creates logically structured, consultant-grade slides.
Consulting charts included
Waterfall, Mekko, Gantt, and stacked bar charts with Excel linking. Beautiful.ai only has basic chart options.
Use your existing templates
Deckary works with any PowerPoint template. No need to recreate your brand assets in a new platform.
Keyboard shortcuts
Align, distribute, swap, and select similar—productivity shortcuts Beautiful.ai doesn't offer.
AI text polish
Rewrite text in consulting tone or make it more concise. Refine slides beyond just design polish.
The honest comparison
Beautiful.ai is a polished tool that automates design decisions. It's great for teams who want consistently good-looking presentations without design expertise.
Where Beautiful.ai wins: Automated design polish. Smart Slides that auto-adjust layouts. Clean, modern templates. Good for general business presentations.
Where Deckary wins: Works inside PowerPoint—no new platform to learn. Consulting-style structure. Consulting charts (waterfall, Mekko, Gantt). Uses your existing templates. No platform lock-in. AI text polish for refining content.
The bottom line: If you want automated design polish and don't mind a new platform, Beautiful.ai works well. But if you use PowerPoint, need consultant-grade output, and don't want platform lock-in, Deckary is built specifically for that workflow.
