Keep the deck you made. Pitch wants you to rebuild it.
Pitch is a presentation editor with sharing built in. Linkdeck is sharing for decks built somewhere else, specifically Keynote. They overlap on 'send a link', and differ on everything before that.
Two different jobs
To share with Pitch you make the deck in Pitch: its editor, its templates, its animation system. To share with Linkdeck you export the Keynote you already finished (File → Export To → HTML), zip the folder and upload it. Nothing is rebuilt.
What each does
Both as they stand today.
| Pitch | Linkdeck | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the deck is made | Pitch's editor | Keynote, unchanged |
| Keynote builds, transitions, audio | Rebuilt in Pitch's system | Kept as exported |
| Share as a link | Yes | Yes |
| Plays on a phone without an app | Yes | Yes |
| Team workspace, live collaboration | Yes | No |
| Templates and design tooling | Yes | No |

| Email gate with leads | No | Yes (Pro) |
| Password on a link | Yes (paid) | Yes (Pro) |

| Price | Free tier; Plus around €10 per seat / month, annual | Free tier; Pro €12 / month |
What Pitch does that Linkdeck does not
Pitch is a full editor with real-time collaboration, a template library, video recording on slides, and a team workspace with roles. If your team writes decks together and does not already live in Keynote, Pitch is a serious option and Linkdeck is not a replacement for it.
What Linkdeck does that Pitch does not
It leaves your Keynote alone. Magic Move, the build order you tuned, the video you timed to the transition, the audio: all of it ships as Keynote exported it. There is no import step that approximates your animations in someone else's engine, because there is no import.
The end card carries your studio name and colour, and Linkdeck's branding is removed on Pro.
Pricing
Pitch has a free tier; its Plus plan is listed at around €10 per seat per month on annual billing. Linkdeck Pro is €12 a month for one account with 10 decks, and the free tier hosts one deck for three days. Pitch's prices are per seat; Linkdeck's are not, because there are no seats.
Who should pick which
Pick Pitch if you want an editor and a team to work in it. Pick Linkdeck if the deck is already in Keynote and you want it to arrive as a link that plays like the original.
Questions
Can I import a Keynote into Pitch?
Pitch imports PowerPoint files, so a Keynote would need exporting to .pptx first. Keynote-specific builds and transitions do not survive that trip one-to-one. Linkdeck skips the trip by hosting Keynote's own export.
Does Linkdeck have an editor?
No. You edit in Keynote, export, and upload. To change the deck, export again and replace it in place on Pro; the link stays the same.
Does Linkdeck support teams?
Not today. One account owns the decks. Pitch has team workspaces; if you need that, it is the better fit.
Share the deck you already finished
Export from Keynote, zip the folder, upload. Free for the first deck, no account needed.
