Video2Any vs CopySlides
Both products rebuild the deck from what was on screen rather than writing a new one. They mostly differ in how each one meters you.
| Video2Any | CopySlides | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier length | 30 minutes per video, unlimited videos, no account | “Basic plan supports videos up to 30 minutes” |
| Long recordings | Any length — $2.99 for two of them, or $49 for good | “Pro and LTD plans support recordings up to 2 hours” |
| Metering | We do not cap slides or conversions | “Up to 200 slides / month” on Starter, “Up to 600 slides / month” on Plus |
| Subscription | Not offered — there is nothing here for you to cancel | “$9/ month” Starter, “$19/ month” Plus |
| Buy it once | $49, paid once, with nothing that renews | “$149 ONE-TIME”, marked down from $199 |
| Desktop app | Not offered — browser only | A desktop app, which is how the lifetime licence gets unlimited slides |
| Where it runs | In the browser tab; there is no upload endpoint | Their page does not say |
| Export formats | PowerPoint, PDF, Word, Markdown, image ZIP, all slides on one image, audio. Each slide is a picture, so the text on it cannot be edited | “PPTX or Google Slides” |
The honest summary: CopySlides starts cheaper at $9 a month, and its desktop app lifts the slide cap in a way we have no equivalent for. It also counts your slides — “Up to 200 slides / month” on the entry plan — where we count nothing, its lifetime licence costs $149 against our $49, and its page does not say where your video is processed.
Everything in the CopySlides column is quoted or restated from their own pages, read on 2026-10-05. Prices change — if something here has gone out of date, tell us and we will fix it. We have not run their converter, so this page says nothing about what it produces.
