We read both vendors’ privacy documents – DPA, sub-processors, server location, training, deletion periods, certifications – and compared them below with source and date. Export options and plan prices come from the pricing and help pages we checked; third-party figures are marked as such. What you won’t find here: a rating or a winner – for that, someone has to use both tools.

What else you need to check
Until the review is done, these are the questions that make the difference – the same for both tools.
| Data processing agreement | Available, and from which plan? Usually not on the free plan. |
|---|---|
| Server location | Stated or selectable? A promise is not a setting. |
| Training on your slides and prompts | Excluded by default, opt-out only, or not at all? |
| Export | Editable PPTX or Google Slides, or only PDF and a share link? |
| Pricing in detail | What does the plan you actually need cost – and what happens when you exceed it? |
| Billing | Company invoice with VAT, or credit card only? |
