Software Comparison

   

MS PowerPoint Vs Google Slides: 

1. Pricing

For business entities, Google Slides comes as a part of the G Suite package. It is absolutely free for individuals.

PowerPoint comes along with the MS Office package; thus, you must have a license for Microsoft Office to use it. The price depends on whether you take a one-time subscription or annual subscription.

2. Availability of Templates

A handful templates (27 to be precise) are available with Google Slides. As most templates are casual, only a few fits your business needs.

Microsoft PowerPoint offers you plenty of creative and customizable templates to bring your ideas to life. You can choose the one that goes well with your presentation theme. 

3. Online and Offline Access

Google Slides is a cloud-based software that supports an online mode. However, you can also access it offline by turning on this option. 

PowerPoint can also be accessed online through an online web-based app or Office 365. Offline access is also supported by this presentation platform.

4. Collaboration

Google Slides provides you seamless collaboration. You can easily make edits and do comments in the presentation and the rest of the team can view the changes in the real-time.

PowerPoint doesn’t provide you the facility to collaborate. However, collaboration is possible if you have PowerPoint 2010 or later. You need to save your template on OneDrive and share it with your team. You can also collaborate with your team using PowerPoint Online.

5. Special Effects

Google Slides offers limited transitions and animations effects. So, with this presentation software, you have restricted scope to make your slideshows more creative.

In comparison to Google Slides, PowerPoint offers many more special effects (such as fancy transitions, 3D, reflections) in its desktop-based version.

6. Fonts

All Google Fonts are supported by Google Slides, and they appear aptly when you present. So, with this platform, you need not install a variety of fonts.

Locally installed fonts are used by PowerPoint. If you wish to install fancy fonts for your presentation, then you have to be very considerate about the screen on which you are presenting as all computers don’t support all the fonts.

7. Storage and Backups

Google Slides save all presentations automatically on Google Drive, so you are not required to hit “Save” each time you make changes. Furthermore, this platform provides you the option of reviewing the history and restoring any of the versions, if needed.

In case of PowerPoint, you need to have the latest versions of PowerPoint or the subscription of Office 365 for saving your presentations automatically. If you turn on the AutoSave option, your presentation will get saved on OneDrive every few seconds. The Auto Recover option will let you recover your presentation in case of unanticipated crashes.
