PaidBeautiful.ai is a paid product with a 14-day free trial on Pro and Team. A credit card is required to start the trial and you are charged if you do not cancel before it ends.
Per the official pricing page: Pro for individuals is $14.50/month billed annually (with a higher monthly-billed option for one-off projects, listed around $45), and Team is $40/user/month billed annually or $50/user/month billed monthly for roughly 2 to 20 members.

Team adds a shared workspace, real-time collaboration, slide and template libraries, version control, locked slides, live data linking and analytics.
Enterprise is custom-priced and adds dedicated onboarding, SSO and SCIM, audit logs, advanced permissions and brand guardrails, with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and PCI claims. A free year for students with a .edu email and a small-team (SMB) plan are also mentioned. Confirm current numbers on the pricing page, as the Team seat range is stated inconsistently.
