Best Deals at Piktochart in Bahrain come down to matching the plan to your output and choosing annual billing. This weekly guide compares Pro, Business, Education and Nonprofit plans, shows where the biggest relative saving sits and explains which features justify each step up.
Piktochart is an online visual design tool for infographics, presentations, reports, posters and video, with an AI Design Generator and a template library. It offers a free plan and paid Pro, Business, Education, Nonprofit and Enterprise plans priced per member, with lower prices on annual billing.
Prices on the pricing page are per member and change with the billing period, so the sections below focus on how to judge value rather than chasing codes. They start with the strongest picks this week, then compare downloads, AI credits and storage across the plans, and finish with the specialist plans and team pricing that change the maths for schools, charities and larger organisations. Every figure comes from the official pricing page and plan FAQ, and the payment screen is always the final check on what you pay.
The best value at Piktochart today comes from matching the plan to your real output, then locking in annual billing. A designer who exports a handful of PNG files a month needs very different features from a team that ships branded PDF reports every week.
Pro billed annually is the headline pick. It removes the PNG download cap of the free plan, opens premium templates and the large icon and illustration library, and adds transparent background downloads.
Business suits teams that need PDF and PPT exports and a shared Brand Kit with colours, custom fonts and logos. Its annual saving is smaller than Pro's, but the feature jump is larger.
| Pick | Main reason | Billing |
|---|---|---|
| Pro annual | Biggest relative saving | Yearly |
| Business annual | PDF, PPT and Brand Kit | Yearly |
| Education | Lower annual price for schools | Yearly |
Comparing plans is quicker when you look at four things: downloads, AI credits, storage and brand controls. Each paid tier changes all four, and the right choice depends on which limit you hit first.
The free plan allows two PNG downloads. Pro makes PNG downloads unlimited and adds transparent backgrounds, while Business adds PDF and PPT downloads for reports and slide decks.
AI credits rise from 60 on the free plan to 500 on Pro and 1,000 on Business. Storage grows from 1GB to 100GB and then 250GB.
| Plan | AI credits | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 60 | 1GB |
| Pro | 500 | 100GB |
| Business | 1,000 | 250GB |
Export options are the clearest difference between plans. PNG is available on every plan, but the number of downloads and the extra formats depend on the tier.
The free plan allows two PNG downloads; Pro and Business make PNG downloads unlimited, and Pro adds transparent backgrounds.
PDF and PPT downloads start on Business, which matters for printed reports and editable slides.
| Plan | Formats |
|---|---|
| Free | PNG, capped |
| Pro | PNG, transparent background |
| Business | PNG, PDF, PPT |
Before choosing a plan, list the formats your readers actually need. If everyone views your work on screen, PNG is usually enough; if clients print reports or edit slides themselves, the document formats on Business become important.
Students, teachers and education staff can use a discounted annual Pro Education plan. A valid educational email address is required to qualify.
The Education plan includes unlimited PNG, PDF and PPT downloads, access to premium icons and illustrations, 250 AI credits and transparent background downloads.
More than 30,000 teachers and educators have used the tool for lesson visuals, posters, timelines and student projects.
| Education detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Billing | Annual |
| Requirement | Educational email |
| AI credits | 250 |
Because the plan is billed once a year, it suits the school calendar well. Teachers can set up class materials at the start of term and keep using the same account for posters, worksheets and project templates through the year.
Nonprofit organisations have their own annual plan priced per member. It is designed for awareness campaigns, donor reports and event material.
The Nonprofit plan includes unlimited PNG, PDF and PPT downloads, a limited Brand Kit with colour schemes, custom fonts and logos, premium icons and 250 AI credits.
For small charities with a few editors, the Nonprofit plan usually costs less than Business while keeping the key formats.
| Nonprofit detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Billing | Annual |
| Formats | PNG, PDF, PPT |
| AI credits | 250 |
Nonprofits that publish annual reports or run regular awareness campaigns benefit most, since the plan covers the document formats those projects need. The yearly price is shown on the pricing page before any payment is made.
Large organisations are priced individually. Enterprise starts at 101 members, and the Campus plan covers institutions with 3000 or more users.
Enterprise adds SSO and SAML sign-in, an advanced security review and a dedicated account manager.
Both plans are quoted on request, so the annual saving on Pro does not apply directly; the price is agreed with the sales team.
| Plan | Size | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | 101 members and above | Custom |
| Campus | 3000 users and above | Custom |
| Business | Smaller teams | Listed |
For mid-sized teams below the Enterprise threshold, Business on annual billing is usually the listed plan to compare against a custom quote. Comparing both helps decide whether the extra security features justify the different pricing.
Paid plans can be bought by card or PayPal. Visa and MasterCard are accepted directly, and American Express can be used through PayPal.
The pricing page lets you switch between currencies such as USD, GBP, EUR, SGD, MXN and INR, so you can see figures in a familiar currency before paying.
For larger team purchases, a direct bank deposit can be arranged, which takes longer to process than a card payment.
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Visa or MasterCard | Direct |
| PayPal | Also covers Amex |
| Bank deposit | Larger purchases |
Whichever method you choose, the plan name, member count and total appear on the payment screen first. Checking those three lines before confirming is the simplest way to make sure the annual price has been applied.
A plan can be cancelled at any time from Account Settings. Upgrades and downgrades can be requested through the support team.
Paid plans are non-refundable, so it is worth confirming the billing period and member count before paying, especially on an annual plan.
If you are unsure how long you will need paid features, try the free plan or one month of Pro before committing to a full year.
| Action | Where |
|---|---|
| Cancel | Account Settings |
| Upgrade or downgrade | Support team |
| Refund | Not offered |
This is the main reason to think carefully before choosing annual billing. The saving is real, but it assumes you will use the plan for the whole year, so the monthly option remains useful for short or uncertain projects.
Alongside visual design, the tool includes a video editor for turning recordings into short clips with captions and branding.
Teams use it for webinar highlights, product walkthroughs and social clips that match their infographics.
Video work is part of the same account, so the plan you choose covers both visuals and video in one place.
| Video task | Example |
|---|---|
| Trimming | Webinar highlights |
| Captions | Social clips |
| Branding | Matching team visuals |
Keeping video and visuals in one account also means one bill instead of two separate tools. For teams already paying for a plan, that can be a practical saving on top of the lower annual price.
Every paid plan is priced per member, so team costs grow with headcount. Choosing who needs editing access keeps the bill under control.
For a handful of editors, Pro annual for each member is often enough unless PDF or PPT exports are needed.
Teams that must follow brand rules gain the most from Business, where the Brand Kit keeps colours, fonts and logos consistent.
| Team size | Suggested plan |
|---|---|
| One to three editors | Pro annual |
| Branded team | Business annual |
| Above 100 members | Enterprise |
It also helps to review seats once or twice a year. Removing members who no longer design lowers the per-member total, and requests to change plans can be sent to the support team.
The free plan acts as an open-ended trial. There is no time limit, so you can explore the editor, templates and AI tools before paying anything.
Build one real project, try a template, use a few AI credits and export a PNG to see the quality.
When the free limits slow you down, switch to Pro on annual billing for the lowest per-member Pro price.
| Test | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Template project | Editing speed |
| AI draft | Credit value |
| PNG export | Output quality |
This approach avoids paying for a year before you know the tool suits your work. Since paid plans are non-refundable, a short test on the free plan is the safest way to decide.
