Beautiful.ai vs Visme

Both Beautiful.ai and Visme are remarkably similar in that they both exist on the web, aiming to help humans create things like presentations and infographics without requiring any of the creativity that usually goes into such endeavors. They offer templates, a drag-and-drop interface, and—bless their hearts—collaboration tools, all neatly packaged in subscription-based models that cleverly trick you into thinking this is an easy way to present information. And, of course, there’s a price tier for every possible scenario, whether you're a lone ranger or the CEO of a small to medium-sized universe.

Now, Beautiful.ai, which arrived on the scene in 2018, decided to simplify things even further, by focusing entirely on presentations. It’s the sort of tool that makes you feel like a business professional just by using it. You don’t even need to worry about custom layouts or pesky details—Beautiful.ai's AI assistant will do that for you. And it’s all about getting things done quickly, with minimal thought. If you’re looking for a tool that takes the "human" out of "human creativity," this is the one for you.

Then there’s Visme, which, since 2013, has been dabbling in more than just presentations. It offers a veritable smorgasbord of design options, from infographics to social media posts to reports. It’s the tool for those who want more control and are quite happy to sit down and manually tweak their designs. But not just for business types—Visme has a decent fanbase among educators and content creators too, offering things like data visualizations and interactive elements. If you're after a little more freedom—and, perhaps, a bit of work—this is where the fun really begins.
