      "body": "Most AI deck roundups still recommend Tome as a Gamma/Beautiful.ai alternative. The Tome team was acquired in 2025 and the standalone product is gone. If you're researching narrative-style AI presentations today, Gamma ($10/mo annual) or Beautiful.ai ($12/mo annual) are the working options.

      "body": "The usage-based shift announced for June 1 has landed as a full restructure. Copilot now runs on AI credits (1 credit = $0.01): Pro $10/mo includes $15 of monthly credits, Pro+ $39 includes $70, and a new Max plan at $100/mo includes $200 in credits for sustained agent workflows. The $19 Business seat is gone from the consumer plans page — org buyers go through GitHub's enterprise channel. Any comparison quoting four tiers with Business at $19 is now stale.",

Current list pricing is Standard $89, Premium $149, Enhanced $199 monthly, with rotating 'as low as' annual promos ($52-88/mo right now).

First sweep: 22 of 46 tools confirmed against the vendor's own page, and 12 previously multi-source tools (Cursor, Claude, Suno, Windsurf, Framer, TrendSpider, GitHub Copilot, and more) are upgraded to direct official verification.
