Pitch vs Tome

Pitch is the clear current winner over Tome for team presentation workflows. Tome Slides was sunset on April 30, 2025 according to Tome’s official Help Center, and VentureBeat later covered the founding team’s pivot to Lightfield, an AI-native CRM. Pitch remains an active presentation workspace with AI deck generation, collaboration, comments, guests, advanced links, pitch rooms, analytics, custom domains, PowerPoint exports, and version history.

The practical buyer answer: use Pitch when you wanted Tome for shareable sales narratives, collaboration, or audience engagement. Do not shortlist Tome for new presentation work. This comparison was re-verified on May 8, 2026 against current Pitch, Tome, VentureBeat, and Lightfield sources.

Quick Verdict

Winner: Pitch. Pitch is the better 2026 option for teams that treat presentations as sales, marketing, startup, investor, agency, customer-success, or internal enablement assets. Its current pricing page describes Free, Plus, Team, Business, and Enterprise paths, along with AI credits, external guests, advanced links, pitch rooms, custom domains, interactive embeds, co-presenting, workspace roles, and version history.

Tome is not a current deck system. The old version of this page described Tome as an active AI narrative builder. That was wrong for a 2026 buyer page. Tome Slides sunset in 2025. The founding team now operates Lightfield as a CRM product, not a presentation tool.

Why Tome Is Not A Current Choice

Tome’s official sunset article says users needed to migrate important work before April 30, 2025, that after April 30 users would not be able to sign in or access Tome content, and that user data would be deleted after that date. It also says upgrades and new user sign-ups were paused before the sunset.

For buyers, that ends the normal head-to-head. A dead product cannot be the winner of a current presentation comparison. The useful question is which active product covers the old Tome job best. For sales and team deck operations, the answer is Pitch.

Where Pitch Wins

Pitch wins because it is built for deck operations, not just deck generation. Its current AI presentation maker page describes AI-generated decks, brand tone, proofreading, rewriting, simplification, speaker notes, sales emails, AI image enhancement, custom templates, brand consistency, real-time editing, comments, slide statuses, and assignees. That matters when the deck has to move from idea to review to client sharing to follow-up.

Pitch also has the strongest replacement story for Tome users who cared about external presentation sharing. Pitch’s current pricing page describes advanced links with visits, slide views, time spent, passcodes, email capture, visit notifications, data privacy controls, pitch rooms, and custom domains. Those features map well to the old Tome audience that used shareable story pages for pitches, proposals, and sales conversations.

Pitch is especially strong if you want:

• Collaborative deck editing and review.
• External guests and free commenters.
• Advanced links, email capture, and visit notifications.
• Pitch rooms for client, prospect, or investor sharing.
• PowerPoint exports and brand-controlled templates.
• A current product with active plans and support.

Where Tome Used To Win

Tome used to win when the goal was a fast story-first page. It helped people create something that felt more modern and web-native than a classic slide deck. It was useful for founders, creators, consultants, and sales teams trying to communicate a narrative quickly.

But Pitch is the safer option for the workflows Tome was trying to move into before the shutdown: sales narratives, audience engagement, viewer analytics, and shareable presentation links. Pitch has those features in an active product. Tome does not.

Pricing Reality

Pitch has current pricing. On May 8, 2026, AiPedia verified Pitch’s official pricing and AI presentation pages. The pricing page describes a Free workspace, Plus for one-person workspaces, Team for up to 25 members, Business for up to 200 members, and Enterprise for custom requirements. Pricing, credits, and limits should still be checked live before purchase.

Tome Slides has no current presentation pricing. Any old Tome Free/Pro/Enterprise claims are historical and should not be used for procurement.

Buyer Recommendations

Choose Pitch if:

• You wanted Tome for sales stories, proposals, or shareable pitch pages.
• Multiple people need to comment, revise, or present from one workspace.
• You need external guests, advanced links, pitch rooms, or email capture.
• You care about knowing who viewed the deck and where they spent time.
• You need an active tool for client, investor, or customer-facing decks.

Do not choose Tome if:

• You are starting any new presentation workflow.
• You need current signups, paid plans, support, billing, or recoverable files.
• You need a sales team to depend on the tool.
• You found old content describing Tome as an active 2026 deck option.

What To Avoid

• Do not treat Tome analytics as a current feature. Old Tome help articles described engagement analytics, email capture, and sharing controls, but those belong to the discontinued presentation product.
• Do not compare fake model names. The old page did not need model claims to answer the buyer question, and those claims were removed.
• Do not pick Pitch if you only want the closest narrative-card replacement. Gamma may feel closer to Tome’s original creative flow.
• Do not overbuy team seats before testing sharing. Send a real client-style deck through Pitch links before standardizing.

Bottom Line

Pitch is the active choice for former Tome users who need collaboration, sales sharing, analytics, guests, advanced links, pitch rooms, and PowerPoint handoff. Tome is historical context and should not be used for new presentation work.

If your old Tome workflow was “send a compelling pitch or proposal and see how people engage,” start with Pitch. If your old Tome workflow was simply “make a story quickly,” also compare Gamma.
