Perspective. Where Data meets Story USERS LOVE PERSPECTIVE My default presentation tool... A brilliant piece of software —Ben Bajarin, Analyst, Tech.pinions Hell of a good demo —John Gruber, Author, Daring Fireball Post-Powerpoint storytelling with data —Charles Arthur, Technology Editor, The Guardian A feat of data visualization and data storytelling —Ryan Singer, Designer, Basecamp Some of the exciting new tools for productivity… —Steven Sinofsky , Partner, Andreessen Horowitz a16z WHY PERSPECTIVE Bring your stories to life Go beyond slideware, bring your data to life and breathe fresh life into your presentations. Ideas in Motion Stop boring your audience with bullet points. Engage them. Use touch gestures to reveal data, zoom in to focus, or highlight key data points. Create a Conversation Show, Don't tell. Presenting with Perspective is more like having a conversation enhanced by data as opposed to a "pitch". No Data Left Behind Bring all your data: slides, spreadsheets, images, PDFs, cloud data, video.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Perspective at none against Craft's 10. Perspective also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). Craft's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 5) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Perspective asks for nothing beyond the download.
Perspective holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Perspective's written reviews are positive against 85% of Craft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Perspective ships an update every 5 weeks, Craft every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
