How to choose
Privacy first
If you put client data into your decks, a DPA, the server location, training on uploaded content and deletion periods matter more than a slick demo video.
Check the status
"Verified" means tested by hand and documented with sources. "Established" is not a full review.
Check the pricing model
A free plan may be enough to try things out, but PPTX export, brand templates, team admin, invoicing and privacy terms often live in business plans.
