Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
LibreOffice
- Real-time collaborative editing is far behind Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and for teams who co-edit this alone usually decides the question
- Mobile support is weak, which is disqualifying for a workforce that reviews documents on phones
- Complex Microsoft Office documents still lose formatting in transit, so exchange-heavy workflows need testing with real files
- Central policy management, conditional access and audit tooling are thin against the commercial suites
- Advanced spreadsheet work is where the gap with Excel is widest, and it affects exactly the users least willing to change
Pitch
- Free plan is capped at a one time 100 AI credits and 2 external guests
- Enterprise features such as SAML based SSO and SCIM are gated behind a 30 plus seat custom plan
- The 17 percent discount on Plus, Team and Business plans requires annual billing

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
LibreOffice: Is LibreOffice really free for business use?
Yes. It is open source with no per-seat licence and no restriction on commercial use. The Document Foundation is funded by donations and sponsors.
Pitch: Is Pitch free to use?
Yes, Pitch's Free plan lets you create unlimited presentations forever. Paid plans (Plus, Team, Business) pricing varies by seat count and billing cycle.
SourceLibreOffice: Does it have AI features?
No. The 26.8 release states it contains no generative AI, that documents are not transmitted to remote services, and that no component requires network access.
Pitch: Can I hire Pitch to build my presentation for me?
Pitch doesn't offer custom design services. Instead, users can leverage Pitch Agent for rapid presentation generation or select from 150+ templates. The company can recommend creative agencies familiar with the platform.
SourceLibreOffice: Can it open Microsoft Office files?
Yes, and save back to them. Round-tripping complex documents is imperfect between any two suites, so test with your own files before committing to an exchange-heavy workflow.
Pitch: Does Pitch offer a free trial?
Free trials are available to some customers depending on their needs. Contact support for eligibility information.
SourceLibreOffice: Why do governments use it?
Two reasons: no per-seat cost at scale, and OpenDocument is an ISO standard implemented by more than one vendor, which matters for archives that must stay readable after a vendor relationship ends.
Pitch: Can I import my existing deck, and in what format?
Yes, you can upload a PPTX file. Users coming from Google Slides, Keynote, or other tools should export to PPTX format first.
SourceLibreOffice: What is the biggest reason not to use it?
Collaborative editing. If several people work on the same document simultaneously, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace are substantially better and that gap is not closing.
