I'm Done Paying for Beautiful.ai — Here's My Free Alternative
You know the drill. You're prepping for a investor meeting, a pitch competition, or just need to present your startup idea. You open Beautiful.ai, stare at the $12.99/month paywall, and sigh. Again.
The free tier? Watermarked garbage. The Pro tier? Another monthly subscription you didn't ask for, another service holding your data hostage on their servers.
So I built a free alternative. It's called Pitch Deck Generator v1 — and it does exactly what you need, without the nonsense.
What It Does
Pitch Deck Generator v1 is a browser-based pitch deck builder that runs 100% client-side. That means:
- Zero cost — free forever, no account, no credit card
- 10 professional slide layouts — Cover, Problem, Solution, Market, Business Model, Traction, Team, Financials, The Ask, and Contact
- PDF export — clean, print-ready multi-page PDF, no watermark
- Live preview — see every slide as you build it
- Privacy-first — your data never leaves your browser. No servers, no tracking, no cloud storage.
Why This Exists
I spent $300+ on Beautiful.ai over two years. I never used half the features. I just wanted a simple way to make a professional-looking pitch deck and export it as PDF.
The existing tools either:
- Require a subscription (Beautiful.ai, Canva Pro, Google Slides with premium templates)
- Have watermarks on the free tier
- Store your data on their servers
- Are over-engineered for what should be a simple task
So I built something that does the job: fill in 10 slides, get a clean PDF. Done.
How It Works
- Open the tool at tools.jackgreen.top/pitch-deck-generator-using-plan-then-code/
- Fill in each slide — company name, problem, solution, market size, etc.
- Preview every slide as you type
- Click "Download Pitch Deck PDF" — done.
Everything runs in your browser. No signup, no upload, no waiting.
