Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can DeckAnalyst score a deck built in Slidebean?
Yes. Export your Slidebean deck as a PDF and upload it to DeckAnalyst. The scoring engine processes any PDF pitch deck regardless of how it was created — Slidebean, PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva, or custom design.
Does Slidebean tell me if my traction slide is strong enough?
No. Slidebean evaluates design quality and narrative structure, not the evidential strength of your claims. DeckAnalyst specifically audits whether your traction, unit economics, and market claims meet the standard VCs expect — flagging aspirational language that scores near zero against deterministic evidence that scores high.
Can investors use DeckAnalyst to evaluate decks they receive?
Yes — and this is a primary use case. Investors upload decks they receive to DeckAnalyst for a consistent, benchmark-driven first pass. The 7-dimension score and peer percentile ranking replaces subjective gut-feel screening with a deterministic evaluation tied to 3,000+ competition winners.
Is DeckAnalyst more expensive than Slidebean?
Different pricing models for different use cases. Slidebean charges $96–288/year for unlimited deck creation. DeckAnalyst charges $29 per deck scored — pay only when you need an evaluation. For a founder scoring their deck 2–3 times before sending to investors, total cost is $58–87.
