Checked · 2 min read
Where MariaGuides wins
- PDF and Markdown export on the free plan, with a small "Made with MariaGuides" footer. Guidde lists "Export videos, PPTs & PDFs" as a Pro addition, and its pages don't list Markdown.
- Generated narration one plan sooner: video export with generated-voice narration on Pro. Guidde's text-to-voice generation is on Business.
- A lower price, for one person and for a team of 5, billed annually or monthly. The figures are under Pricing below.
Where Guidde is ahead
- More AI voices: text-to-voice with 200+ voices on Business and 400+ on Enterprise, plus interactive click-through demos on Business.
- Link sharing on the free plan, where readers "don’t need a Guidde account", and SOC 2 Type 2 compliance.
