why this verdict
Keep paying — Google has not replaced it
Google's version overlaps, but does not finish the productivity job, so this one still earns its $10/mo.
- A named launch, not a vibe named, unlinked
- Gemini in Slides and ChatGPT slide generation. Google, January 1, 2025 — no announcement link recorded yet.
- How much of the job it covers not the job editorial call
- Parts of it. The job still needs the tool to get finished.
- Is there a free way to do it? yes
- 1 of 3 listed replacements have a usable free tier: Google Slides.
- What the call is worth $120/yr
- $10/mo at the entry paid tier — $120 a year per seat.

The backstory
