    Before switching

    MCP access is not exclusive to slAIdes. Compare actual tool operations and export results, and keep a copy of the original office presentation.

    Cost and access

    The slAIdes workspace is $1.99 / €1.99 per month, including 50 MB and MCP access. AI usage and optional storage may cost extra. Check current plan details and Plus AI's official plans before purchasing; this guide does not claim a like-for-like price comparison.

    Is MCP alone a reason to switch from Plus AI?
