Do I need to know Figma for Meritra?

No. Meritra templates are built natively in PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides. You edit them in the software you already use.

Which has better charts?

Meritra includes native data-linked charts. You right-click, edit the Excel data, and the chart updates automatically. Many generic UI kits use static shapes.

Is there a refund policy?

Meritra offers a 14-day unconditional refund. If it doesn't save you time, we refund you.

Yes, Meritra includes lifetime updates. We version our templates and publish changelogs when we update layouts or add variants.

Can I use it for client work?

Yes, both our single-seat and agency licenses allow client use, though the single-seat is for individuals while the agency tier ($299) covers your whole team.

BaseTemplates vs Meritra: Which pitch deck fits your fundraise?

If you're raising capital for a SaaS or fintech company, you need a deck that hits the narrative arc expected by active partners at Sequoia, a16z, and Bessemer. BaseTemplates offers a massive library of generic layouts and slide types for any industry. Meritra offers highly constrained, industry-specific master decks. We compare the two approaches.

TL;DR

BaseTemplates is a horizontal library with thousands of general-purpose slide variations.

Meritra is highly constrained, offering 14-slide master decks specifically for B2B SaaS and Fintech.

Choose BaseTemplates if you need maximum creative flexibility across multiple industries.

Choose Meritra if you want a venture-backed narrative structure out of the box.

Where BaseTemplates wins

BaseTemplates excels at sheer volume. If you are building a deck for an ecommerce D2C brand, a hardware startup, and a local service business, having 100+ generic slide layouts is incredibly useful. It acts as a UI kit for presentations. Their Figma integration is also robust for designers who prefer to build decks outside of traditional presentation software.

Where Meritra wins

Meritra wins on constraint and narrative structure. We don't give you 100 layouts; we give you the 14 specific slides that active VCs actually expect to see. Our Fintech template includes variants for infrastructure, B2B, and consumer—each with editable data charts (not static shapes) and investor psychology notes detailing exactly what to say (and what not to say) on each slide.

The Verdict

The choice comes down to whether you want a toolbox or a blueprint. Choose BaseTemplates if you are a designer or agency needing a massive kit of parts to build decks across a wide variety of industries.

Choose Meritra if you are a SaaS or Fintech operator who wants a proven, 14-slide narrative structure built to the standards of venture-backed companies, complete with editable data charts and a Loom walkthrough.
