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
WPS Office
- The free tier is funded by advertising, and the adverts and upgrade prompts appear inside the editing window rather than on a website, so the cost of not paying is charged in interruptions while you work.
- Kingsoft is a Chinese company and cloud sync stores documents on its infrastructure by default, which is a procurement blocker for government, defence and many regulated buyers no matter how well the software performs.
- Complex Microsoft files still drift, so heavily formatted documents with tracked changes, PowerPoint animations and workbooks using recent functions or VBA macros can open with differences that only become visible when the file goes back to a Microsoft user.
- There is no tenant administration, so an organisation has no central console for licences, policy, retention or offboarding, and every installation has to be managed on the individual machine.
- Cloud storage stops at 1 GB free and 20 GB per user when paid, so it works as sync for documents and stops being viable for anyone handling media, scans or large PDF archives.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
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.
SourceWPS Office: Will it open and save Microsoft Office files properly?
It reads and writes DOCX, XLSX and PPTX natively and ordinary documents round-trip cleanly. Files with macros, tracked changes or complex animation can differ, so check anything going back to a Microsoft user.
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.
SourceWPS Office: Is the free version genuinely free?
Yes, and it is not time-limited. It shows adverts, caps cloud storage at 1 GB, and holds back PDF editing and conversion, text recognition and electronic signature for the paid plan.
Pitch: Does Pitch offer a free trial?
Free trials are available to some customers depending on their needs. Contact support for eligibility information.
SourceWPS Office: Does it run on Linux?
Yes, with maintained desktop builds, which is unusual for a commercial office suite. The Linux version can trail Windows on newer features.
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.
SourceWPS Office: Is it suitable for a regulated organisation?
Usually not without a review. The vendor is Chinese, cloud sync is on by default, and there is no administrative or compliance tooling of the kind a regulated buyer will be asked to evidence.
