Common Questions
Is SlidesChart as powerful as think-cell?
SlidesChart offers comparable functionality for the most-used features: waterfall charts, Mekko charts, Gantt charts, CAGR arrows, and auto-calculations. While think-cell has some advanced features we're still building, SlidesChart covers 90%+ of typical consulting and finance use cases.
Can I use my think-cell templates?
think-cell templates are PowerPoint-specific and won't directly transfer. However, SlidesChart includes 25+ professional templates designed for the same use cases (finance, strategy, operations, sales). You can also create and save your own templates.
What if I need both PowerPoint and Google Slides?
If your team uses both, you can use think-cell for PowerPoint and SlidesChart for Google Slides. Many of our customers do exactly this during their transition to Google Workspace.
How does the pricing compare?
think-cell costs $327+/year per user (often more for enterprise licenses). SlidesChart is $99/year—a 70% savings. We also offer a free tier with 5 charts per presentation for trying before you buy.
