There’s another new presentation tool in town. This time it comes to us from across the pond in the UK. The new animated presntation platform is a London startup called Powtoon.
This startup with a silly name, promises to “supercharge your presentations and videos” according to Powtoon co-founder and CEO Ilya Spitalnik. Spitalnik tells sproutsocial.com that the Powtoon team focuses on “less is more” and that their startup has been designed by designers for non-designers.
Many people looking to create presentations either only know the basics for Power Point and Keynote or get overcome with frustration trying to use features to make their run of the mill presentations less run of the mill. Powtoon offers a whole suite of tools that are easy to use and basically “drag and drop”.
While there are alternatives out there to the current presentation programs Spitalnik says they only add a limited amount of features or their non-intuitive and “far too complex”
Powtoon offers users three ways to use the service. You can start with a 14 day free trial, opt for monthly billing or a per use version.
Their monthly plans start at just $9 a month for “fans” without the ability to download, and fully co-branded with Powtoon. An agency can go monthly at a rate of $247 per month.
While no one building a startup wants to pay anything for services, the costs associated with Powtoon are much better than outsourcing a presentation which can run between $5,000 and $20,000 per presentation. The Powtoon website also boasts an educational program and the ability to make some extra scratch by reselling Powtoon’s services.
Powtoon offers even the most non artistic types the ability to create eye popping presentations. When considering the cost of a presentation, also take into consideration the goal of the presentation. Paying under $50 to create a presentation that could yield you an investment of millions of dollars is a no-brainer.
