Yes, if you only need one presentation, the $45 'Single Deck' purchase is likely more economical than a monthly Pro subscription at $12/month. However, the 'Single Deck' option likely limits you to that single presentation and may not include access to all the features available in the Pro plan, such as ongoing editing or the full asset library. Check the Beautiful.ai website for precise limitations.

The 'Team Brand Controls' in the Beautiful.ai Team plan are designed to enforce brand consistency by locking fonts and colors. While you may not be able to upload custom fonts directly, you can likely select from a range of pre-approved fonts and define your brand colors by inputting hex codes. Check the Beautiful.ai documentation for supported font options.

Beautiful.ai includes professional animations, and while the Smart Slide layouts automate much of the design, you likely have some control over the animations. You probably won't have granular control like in dedicated animation software, but you can likely select from a few animation styles or adjust the timing to best suit your content and desired presentation flow.

The Beautiful.ai Team plan is priced at $40/user/month, and volume discounts for larger teams are not explicitly mentioned. However, it is common for SaaS providers to offer negotiated rates for larger enterprise deployments. Contact Beautiful.ai's sales team directly to inquire about potential volume discounts for your specific team size.
