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. Monthly AI credit allowance 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 excl. VAT (€8.46 incl.), Pro €14.99/month excl. VAT (€18.14 incl.). PowerPoint is usually part of a Microsoft 365 subscription (€7–€12/month for education). A comparable order of magnitude, a different feature set.
