Looking for an alternative to PowerPoint?
PowerPoint forces you to start with a blank slide and fill hours. LectaMe generates a complete presentation in minutes — with structure, layered depth and live interaction. For pitches, training, keynotes and lessons.
Start free. No credit card. 10 credits (~3 AI presentations) per month included.
Three reasons to leave PowerPoint
From hours to minutes
PowerPoint costs you 2 to 4 hours per presentation. LectaMe generates a complete presentation based on your topic in less than 2 minutes.
Layers instead of bullets
Slides are linear. Your audience is not. With LectaMe you build a base layer with deepening and interaction layers that your audience follows at its own pace.
Interaction built in
Participants join live with a session code — no account, no app. Quiz questions and polls count in real time.

When PowerPoint remains the better choice
LectaMe and PowerPoint are different products with different strengths. In these four situations PowerPoint still wins — and that's fine.
Full creative freedom
Custom animations, complex transitions, free object placement, animated charts. For design-heavy pitches with a dedicated designer, PowerPoint is more powerful.
Working offline without internet
In auditoriums with flaky wifi, on flights, in rooms without a network. PowerPoint runs locally — LectaMe needs a browser + connection.
Corporate brand-style templates
Companies with a PowerPoint template library (master slides, brand colors, locked layouts) already have that infrastructure — switching takes setup time.
.pptx as the corporate standard
When your deck is emailed around to 50 stakeholders who open it locally — PowerPoint is the worldwide de facto standard. LectaMe is online-first.
For everything else — training, lessons, keynotes, onboardings, stakeholder updates with interaction and differentiation — LectaMe is faster and more structured. You lose no design freedom; you save the time you didn't want to spend on it anyway.

Frequently asked questions
Can I import my PowerPoint files into LectaMe?+
Yes. Import a .pptx file and LectaMe converts your slides. You can then build LectaMe interaction (polls, quizzes, layered depth) around them — no duplicate work.
Does LectaMe work offline like PowerPoint?+
No. LectaMe is an online platform — you need an internet connection both for creating and presenting. For presentations without internet, PowerPoint is the right choice.
What do I get extra compared to PowerPoint?+
AI generation of complete presentations in 30 seconds, live participant interaction via session code, layered slides for differentiation, and integrated quizzes — without running a second tool alongside PowerPoint.
Is the pricing comparable?+
LectaMe is free to start without a credit card. Starter from €6.99/month, Pro €14.99/month. PowerPoint is usually part of a Microsoft 365 subscription (€7–€12/month for education). A comparable order of magnitude, a different feature set.
