LEARN ## Free vs Basic — which tier should you use?

Both produce a working SCORM zip from a .pptx in minutes. The difference is whether the output carries our attribution watermark, and whether you hit any caps.

| FEATURE | FREE | BASIC (£150 + tax) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Price** | £0 | £150 + tax per deck |
| **File size cap** | 200 MB | 500 MB |
| **Quota** | 3 conversions per email per 30 days | No quota |
| **Slide image watermark** | Yes (bottom-right, 30% opacity) | No |
| **Loader splash** | Yes (2 seconds) | No |
| **Slide footer attribution** | Yes (every slide) | No |
| **Completion screen attribution** | Yes | No |
| **Manifest XML attribution** | Yes (comment) | No |
| **Custom branding** | No | Player chrome (logo, label, URL) |
| **SCORM version** | 1.2 | 1.2 + 2004 (4th Edition) |
| **Re-upload guarantee** | No | 14 days |

## **When to use Free**

Free is for **evaluation**. Use it to confirm that SCORM output from PowerPoint actually plays cleanly in your LMS, or to verify that your specific deck's media survives the conversion. The five-layer watermark makes Free a poor fit for anything you'd put in front of paying learners, an auditor, or a regulator — but a great fit for stress-testing the pipeline against a representative deck.

## **When to use Basic**

Basic is for **deployment**. No watermarks, no caps, full SCORM 2004 support, and our 14-day re-upload guarantee — if the SCORM doesn't behave in your LMS within 14 days of delivery, request a re-package and we'll do it without you paying again.

## **Upgrade path**

Every delivered free job carries an "Upgrade to Basic" button on its result page. Clicking it copies your already-uploaded .pptx across, opens Stripe Checkout, and on payment we rebuild the deck on Basic (no watermarks) and email the clean zip. You don't re-upload anything.
