Why people look for a Perceptis alternative
Perceptis is an AI slide generator aimed at consulting and business slides: single and multi-slide generation from a library of 50 or more professional layouts, complex visuals like maps and Gantt charts, and PowerPoint-native export with real charts, tables and shapes. Plans are priced by slides per month: Free (10), Starter $29 (50), Pro $129 (100, plus upload-to-edit and one corporate theme).
Who gets to upload a deck. Perceptis puts upload-to-edit on its Pro plan at $129 a month; Free and Starter generate new slides only. PitchBoost's whole reason to exist is the upload: every plan, including the free one, takes a .pptx and rebuilds it.
Consulting idiom, or your idiom. Perceptis is strongest at the consulting look: framework slides, Gantt charts, maps, native PowerPoint objects. PitchBoost rebuilds in your brand, pulled from your website, which is what a sales, investor or client deck usually needs to look like.

Not everyone should switch. Perceptis remains the better fit for:
- Consultants who want the consulting slide idiom
- Native PowerPoint charts, maps and Gantt charts
- Building new slides from a layout library
- Teams already paying for a Pro seat who need upload-to-edit

Perceptis is the better fit for consultants who want the consulting slide idiom, native powerpoint charts, maps and gantt charts, building new slides from a layout library. PitchBoost is built for one job, rebuilding or building a deck for a specific prospect in your brand, and does not try to be a general workspace.
Can I move my existing decks to an alternative?
Export them from Perceptis as .pptx first. PitchBoost rebuilds a .pptx in your brand and keeps the content; the other tools import a .pptx as a starting point with varying fidelity. Nothing here reads a Perceptis link directly.
