Both cover design & graphics. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Interface design and prototyping in a browser
Figma is where most interface design happens now, and creators arrive at it for brand kits, thumbnails and anything a developer has to build from later. Files live in the browser and several people can be inside one at the same time without anybody emailing a version. The free Starter plan carries unlimited drafts, which covers solo work. Seats are priced by what you actually do in the file.
Our note
The free tier is genuinely enough for one person maintaining their own brand assets, and the seat split is what makes bringing in an editor or a developer affordable. Penpot is the answer if self-hosting or open formats matter to you.
Presentations that zoom rather than advance
Prezi replaces the slide deck with one canvas the view moves around, which suits an argument with a shape to it more than a list of points. Videos and infographics sit in the same account, so a talk and the clip made from it are not two subscriptions. PowerPoint files import rather than needing rebuilding. The format is the thing to be sure about before paying: an audience expecting ordinary slides can find the movement distracting, and the effect is hard to undo once a deck is built around it.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.

Our note
Decide on the format before the price, because the zooming canvas is either the entire reason to be here or a distraction your audience will mention afterwards. If you only need slides that look better than the default, Beautiful.ai or Pitch will get you there with less to explain.
