Slidely AI alternative: InstaPresentation vs Slidely

Slidely AI is built around PowerPoint: it creates and edits decks on the web and through a PowerPoint add-in. InstaPresentation is a browser app that builds the deck, lets you present it live from your own link, and exports to PowerPoint when you need the file. Here is how they compare, using Slidely's public pricing page as of September 2026.
