Common features or functionalities of PowerPoint and Powtoon

Display the content to the audiences

The text are inserted and formatted into the software. There are a lot of the icons and editing tools to let you choose from. These two software have many different animation effect and slide transition effects. It can be used to add emphasis to presentations.

Share to YouTube page

After finished the presentation either edited by using PowerPoint or Powtoon, both can be shared to YouTube page. It is very easy to upload the presentation. It is also can promote it on other social media channels for business advantages.

Differences of between PowerPoint and Powtoon

Slide timeline and animation.

This feature replaces the animation pane on PowerPoint and it is much easier to use. However, there are multiple unfortunate limitations. First, each slide can only be 20 seconds long. Since the site is free to use one cannot make extremely long and complex slides but instead one must settle for making more slides that are simpler. Another issue is that you cannot be precise with timings. Animations can only occur within 0.5 seconds whereas in PowerPoint there are no limitations. The third obvious issue is that the amount of animations one can choose from is extremely limited. Whereas PowerPoint has close to 150 animations to pick from, Powtoon only has 12.

Animated gifts.

Powtoon allows you to put animated gifs into your presentation that animate constantly on the slide, even while you are working. On PowerPoint these gifs will remain frozen until you are in slideshow mode. If you have a premium account you can choose between a couple different styles of imagery for your presentation but unfortunately with a free account you are limited to one.

Price.

Powtoon and PowerPoint basic plan is free. Its Pro plan is $87/month and Business plan is $197 per month. However, PowerPoint users need to pay only $69.99 per year for personal use.

I prefer PowerPoint because it is suitable for people who are looking for a simple interface to create quick marketing presentations. PowerPoint definitely appropriate for making large decks with complex animations. The greatest benefits are definitely its speed and the fact that animations, transitions and timings are very simple to do. It only take about 20 minutes to figure out all of the functions on the site and making presentation only take around an hour and a half. So while, Powtoon is not ideal for all presentations.

After finished this assignment, I realized that PowerPoint and Powtoon both have their pros. PowerPoint has great advantages for the business presenter, while Powtoon has benefits for users to create animated presentation. Users deliver their ideas and messages through their presentation software used by making the presentation more interesting and attractive to the audiences.
