It works especially well for classroom lectures, conference talks, technical presentations, startup pitches, research, and any presentation where the message matters more than tweaking the layout.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MD Slides at none against Deckset's 3. MD Slides also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Deckset's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
