Plus AI vs Genspark
Which AI presentation generator is better? A detailed comparison between Plus AI and Genspark.
It feels like every week, a new AI tool launches with the promise of “killing PowerPoint.” There are now hundreds of apps that claim to reinvent how we present information. Some aim to simplify the approach by using AI, while others offer complex solutions like an advanced design suite. But when you have a deadline looming and a boss expecting a slide deck, the last thing you want is to spend hours learning a new piece of software.
That is why I decided to test two very different tools that are gaining traction right now: Plus AI and Genspark AI. One is a seamless integration that lives inside your existing workflow, and the other is a powerful standalone platform built for deep research and visual flair.
I spent some time building decks with both of them to see which one is actually worth adding to your toolkit. Let’s get into the details.
Presentation Generation with Plus AI
Plus AI operates on a philosophy that is very different from most of its competitors. It does not try to pull you away from Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint. Instead, it sets up camp right inside them.
This tool works as an extension. You install it once, and it lives in your sidebar forever. This might sound like a small detail, but it changes the entire workflow. You are not switching tabs or logging into a separate dashboard to build your slides. You are already in the environment where you will eventually present them.
The app has a dedicated sidebar and a modal screen where you describe the topic and adjust several parameters to customize the output.
The process is designed to be frictionless. You can type a prompt describing the presentation you need, or you can upload a document. If you have a messy Word doc or a dense PDF report, Plus AI can read it and structure it into a slide deck.
Here’s an example:
PROJECT PROGRESS REPORT – Januray 2026

Risks & Issues
• Minor risk of delay due to third-party API rate limits
• Mitigation plan in place through caching and request batching
Key Takeaways
The project continues to progress steadily. Focus for the next phase will be stability, performance tuning, and readiness for testing.Before it generates the slides, it gives you an outline. This is a safety check. You can look at the flow of the story and tweak the headers before the AI spends time building the visuals. Here’s the sample outline:
Once you are happy with the structure, click the Generate Presentation button and let the AI create the slides. Here’s what the final deck looks like:
It also comes with a Remix feature that is incredibly useful for day-to-day editing. If a slide looks cluttered, you can ask the AI to reorganize it. It can turn a wall of text into a neat three-column layout without you having to drag a single pixel.
There’s a lot that you can do with Plus AI. Despite it not being a full-blown and standalone app, it still offers some of the most advanced tools to create high-quality presentations.
In terms of pricing, the Basic Plan starts at $10 a month and covers unlimited AI generation. The Pro Plan at $20 a month adds document uploads and an AI image generator. You can also opt for the Team Plan, which is $30 per user and includes custom brand themes. There is also an Enterprise option for larger companies.
And perhaps one of the most exciting things about Plus AI is that all standard plans come with a 7-day free trial.
Presentation Generation with Genspark AI
Genspark AI is a different platform. It is built primarily as a research engine that just happens to have a very powerful slide generator attached to it. It is designed to automate the heavy lifting of gathering information and then visualizing it.
This is what the interface looks like:
Notice how much of an AI chat app it looks like. To start a presentation, you click on “AI Slides” and enter your prompt.
Genspark is fascinating because you can watch it think. When you give it a prompt — for example, asking it to analyze global music streaming behavior in 2025 — it opens a “Thinking” tab. You can actually see the AI breaking down your request, planning the slide structure, and deciding what data points to include. It feels like watching a research assistant work in real time.
The output is also unique. Genspark generates slides using HTML and CSS. This means every slide is essentially a small webpage. The result is often visually stunning. The designs tend to be modern and vibrant with gradients and typography that look like they came from a high-end tech company.
Check out some of the examples below:
If you are technical, you can even switch to the Code tab and edit the raw HTML and Tailwind CSS to customize the slide exactly how you want it. It gives you a level of granular control that most drag-and-drop editors cannot match.
If you ask it for a specific vibe, it delivers. In my test, I asked for a Spotify-inspired aesthetic, and it nailed the vibrant gradients and clean dark mode look. The charts and graphs it generated were colorful and visually appealing right out of the gate.
In terms of pricing, you only get 200 free credits per day and limited access to the AI models and agents. If you decide to upgrade, the paid subscription is a bit more expensive than Plus AI.
The cheaper tier costs $24.99 per month, and the Pro tier costs $249.99 per month.
Which tool is better?
So, which one should you actually use?
If we are judging strictly on aesthetics, Genspark AI has the edge. The slides it produces are more dynamic and modern. The HTML-based rendering allows for designs that look very cool, and the “wow factor” is definitely there. If you need a one-off presentation that looks like a modern website, and you are comfortable working in a separate platform, Genspark is a fun choice.
However, for most professionals, visuals are only half the battle.
This is where Plus AI wins. It is simply the more practical choice for a working professional.
The problem with standalone tools like Genspark is that they introduce friction. You have to go to a new site, generate your deck, and then figure out how to export it or present it. If you need to make last-minute changes before a meeting, you might find yourself fighting with export settings or compatibility issues.
You stay in the workspace you are already comfortable with. You do not need to learn how to edit HTML or manage a new login. You just open Google Slides or PowerPoint and get to work.
Plus AI also handles the little things that save time. You get AI-generated icons and images right inside the deck. You can remix layouts instantly. And if you are on a Team plan, you can enforce your company branding so you do not have to fix the colors manually every time.
Final Thoughts
Alright, we’ve just looked at two very capable tools that serve different needs. Genspark AI is basically a research engine that creates beautiful code-based slides. It is great for users with advanced technical knowledge about AI chatbots and HTML files.
But at the end of the day, productivity is about removing barriers. Plus AI fits into your existing work life without forcing you to learn a new tool or change your habits. It takes the powerful features of PowerPoint and Google Slides and supercharges them with AI.
For me, Plus AI is cheaper, it is native, and it just works. For the vast majority of people creating decks for work or school, Plus AI is the tool that will actually save you time in the long run.
I hope this comparison helps you cut through the noise of all these new AI tools. Let me know which one fits your style better in the comments below.
