An HTML presentation framework or a native slide workspace?

    slAIdes vs reveal.js

    reveal.js is a framework for building HTML presentations. slAIdes is a fit when the author wants slide and media editing controls already assembled into a presentation workspace. Choose reveal.js when owning the web presentation's code and runtime is part of the requirement.

    Where slAIdes is a strong fit

    Use slAIdes when your team needs to correct a formula, edit chart data and refine images or video directly. Compatible MCP clients can make supported structured changes to the native presentation beside manual editing.

    When reveal.js may fit better

    Use reveal.js when your presentation needs custom HTML, JavaScript behavior, framework extensions or a web deployment you control.

    Prepare a talk that does not need a custom web app

    1. Identify any presentation behavior that truly requires custom JavaScript.
    2. Build the explanatory slides in slAIdes with editable data, notation and media.
    3. Keep a framework presentation for custom behavior and inspect the chosen delivery path.

    Before switching

    Custom HTML, JavaScript and framework plugins are not converted into equivalent editable slAIdes behavior by transferring an export. Preserve the source project.

    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 reveal.js's official plans before purchasing; this guide does not claim a like-for-like price comparison.

    Is slAIdes a drop-in reveal.js framework replacement?

    No. It is a presentation application. Choose it for visual authoring and native editing; keep reveal.js when framework code and custom web behavior are required.
