Why teams switch from Volume to Slidemate
- Slidemate never uses AI images. Every slide uses real photos from Pexels, your Pinterest boards, the web or your own library, because real photos are what viewers trust.
- On Pro, your AI learns from your own TikTok results and reads your website or App Store listing, so every new slideshow builds on what already works.
- Every slide starts in TikTok Sans, the real TikTok font, in the box, plain and outline styles viewers know from their For You page.
- Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Cursor, with step by step setup for each.
- Official "Download on the App Store" and "Get it on Google Play" badges, one click away, for app marketers.
- Two simple plans with no credits to count: 30 TikTok posts a month or 1,000, from $14 a month billed yearly.
