Microsoft PowerPoint
Is Microsoft PowerPoint free? Free with a Catch.

Optional paid features: Microsoft 365 Basic (monthly) ($1.99/month); Microsoft 365 Personal (monthly) ($9.99/month); Microsoft 365 Family (monthly) ($12.99/month); Microsoft 365 Premium (monthly) ($19.99/month); Microsoft 365 Personal (annual) ($99.99/year); Microsoft 365 Family (annual) ($129.99/year).
PowerPoint is usable for free for basic presentation work on supported mobile devices, but Microsoft 365 gates the full experience and premium features. The iPad version is also repeatedly criticized as less capable and more awkward than desktop PowerPoint.
- Users report smooth presentation playback and good basic mobile editing.
- OneDrive syncing makes it easy to continue work across devices.
- Core slide creation and viewing are available without a paid plan on supported devices.
- A Microsoft 365 subscription is required for the full feature set.
