Pitch
Pitch is presentation software that enables any team to quickly create sleek decks that get results.

Google Slides and Pitch are both magnificent modern marvels of digital collaboration, allowing humans to create dazzling presentations without the need for pens, paper, or—thankfully—any actual artistic skill. They exist in the cloud, which, despite sounding like a mystical realm of infinite knowledge, is mostly just a collection of servers humming away in places far less exciting than their name suggests. Both tools let people add images, videos and charts, because no one actually enjoys reading large blocks of text and they ensure that no matter how chaotic a team's collective decision-making is, at least their slides will stay somewhat coherent.

Google Slides has been around since 2006, which in internet years is roughly the Jurassic period. Born in the tech empire of Google (USA), it thrives on simplicity, making it the perfect choice for students, office workers and anyone who just wants to slap together a few bullet points without thinking too hard. It seamlessly integrates with all things Google, meaning it’s practically glued to Gmail, Drive and Docs, ensuring that once you start using it, you're trapped in an ecosystem so vast, you might never leave. It even offers offline mode, which is a bit like saying a submarine offers a walking mode—possible, but not really the point.

Pitch, on the other hand, sprang into existence in 2020, fresh-faced and full of enthusiasm, courtesy of a company in Germany with an unshakable belief that presentations should be beautiful. It’s aimed at startups, creative teams and people who like their slides to look professionally designed without actually putting in the effort. Unlike its older cousin, Pitch leans into real-time collaboration, AI-powered layouts and analytics, because why just make a slideshow when you can also obsessively track who looked at it and for how long? It’s slick, stylish and determined to make sure no one ever suffers through another ugly PowerPoint deck again—though, naturally, that’s a battle no software will ever truly win.
