Digideck Alternatives for Sports Sponsorship Decks

In our view, the strongest Digideck alternative for sports rights holders is Sportworks.io, because it is built for exactly this job: it builds personalised sponsorship decks from your own PowerPoint or PDF, puts each prospect's logo on photos of your own inventory, tracks every view and publishes its prices from £299 a month. Other options include SponsorFlo, if you want sponsor management in the same tool, and general deck tools such as Pitch, Storydoc, Beautiful.ai, Canva and PowerPoint for the slides themselves. Prices below are as published by each vendor in October 2026.

What is Digideck?

Digideck is interactive presentation software used for sponsorship proposals, partner onboarding and season recaps (Digideck), made by the Minneapolis company formerly called Sportsdigita. The company rebranded to DIGIDECK on 15 March 2026 after 14 years as Sportsdigita, with the product, team and client relationships unchanged (Digideck).

It was founded in 2011 by Angelina Lawton, who had worked in corporate communications at the Tampa Bay Lightning, and its roots are in sports sponsorship sales (Twin Cities Business). Since the 2026 rebrand it describes itself as helping enterprise revenue, sales and customer-facing teams more broadly, alongside sport. Digideck does not publish its prices.

Why do sports teams look for Digideck alternatives?

Most teams compare alternatives because they want a published price, a specialist sponsorship pitching tool, or a way to keep working in their own deck templates. The main reasons are:

• Pricing is quote only. Digideck describes "predictable, subscription-based pricing based on your needs" rather than a public price list (Digideck), and Capterra confirms the vendor does not publish pricing (Capterra). Buyers who want a price before a demo often compare tools with published plans.
• No free trial or free version is listed on Capterra or G2 (G2), so evaluation runs through a demo.
• Template changes. G2's AI-generated review summary says new or changed templates are bought as paid design packages (G2). Teams that want to keep editing their own PowerPoint files in house may prefer a tool built around that.
• A broader focus. Since its 2026 rebrand Digideck has described its platform as serving enterprise revenue and sales teams as well as sport (Digideck). Some rights holders want a platform built only for sports commercial teams.

Sponsors also notice when a proposal is a search-and-replace job (PowerSponsorship), so the real question is which tool shows every prospect their brand on your assets, quickly.

What should a Digideck alternative do for a sponsorship deck?

A good alternative should put each sponsor on your own inventory, personalise the whole deck, show you who opened it, and work at the volume your team pitches. Check for:

1. Mockups on your own assets. The prospect's logo on your LED perimeter boards, shirt front and sleeve, training kit, stadium signage and matchday social posts, from your own photos.
2. Works with your existing deck. You should not have to rebuild your brand template from scratch or pay for every change.
3. Personalisation per brand. Visuals, inventory and pricing that change for each prospect, not just the logo on the cover.
4. Tracking. Open alerts, time on each slide and who viewed it, so you follow up with the warmest prospects first.
5. Scale. The ability to pitch a whole sector before the season, not one deck at a time.
6. Published pricing and onboarding. You know the cost before you book a call, and someone helps you set it up.

Why do we rate Sportworks.io as the strongest Digideck alternative for rights holders?

Sportworks.io is the AI platform for sports commercial teams, powering how clubs prospect, pitch and manage partnerships. It creates personalised sponsorship pitches, including branded mockups, activation images, videos and pitch decks, in minutes, and it is built for sports rights holders and the agencies that work for them. That focus is why we put it first. For a full overview, see our guide to Sportworks AI sponsorship pitching.

It puts the sponsor's logo on your own inventory

Designs adds sponsor logos to, or removes existing branding from, kits, LED boards, stadium signage and social content. It builds mockups from your own inventory photos, with set logo placements and matching colour, sizing and perspective. A prospect sees their brand on your actual shirt and boards, not a stock stadium. Our guide to sponsorship mockups covers which assets to show.

Studio turns reference images and a written concept into branded activation visuals, and Video turns a Designs or Studio image into a short clip, covering LED animations, apparel, broadcast graphics and social formats. Video can also map a brand's existing ads onto your LED screens.

It works from the deck you already have

Decks lets you upload your existing PowerPoint or PDF and turn it into a reusable template with linked image placeholders. Select the brands you are pitching and it builds a personalised deck for each, with visuals, inventory and pricing, then exports to PPTX or PDF.

You keep your own deck design and file formats, and every plan includes unlimited design templates. If your deck needs work first, our guide on how to build a sponsorship pitch deck sets out the structure that works.

It tells you who opened your deck and what they read

Sportworks tracks every deck you send. Deck sharing gives you public, password-protected or email-gated links, plus an internal feedback link so colleagues can comment before a deck goes out. You get open notifications, per-viewer analytics (sessions and dwell time) and a slide-by-slide heatmap. If a brand lingers on your LED slide and skips hospitality, you know what to lead with on the follow-up call.

It pitches a whole sector in one run

Scale, launched in May 2026, lets you select several brands or a whole industry and generate personalised pitch assets for every prospect in one run, with batch download and team sharing. A small partnerships team can put tailored mockups and decks in front of every brand in a target category before the season starts.

Coming soon, Showcase will let you send a prospect an interactive 3D world instead of a deck: they walk through your venue, for example a 3D stadium, see their brand live on the LEDs and other assets, and click through to the pitch deck, the assets for sale, the price list and terms.

What results do Sportworks clients report?

According to Sportworks client data, teams using the platform see 10x faster production, a 50% cost reduction, 3x more conversions and an average payback of under 30 days from first use (Sportworks customers). These are Sportworks' own aggregated figures, not independent research.

Customers include Reading FC, Aston Villa FC, Burnley FC (official AI pitching partner), Werder Bremen, Williams Racing and MotoGP (Sports Entertainment Group). Birmingham City FC's Head of Partnerships says: "We can create personalised decks in minutes." MK Dons' Chief Commercial Officer says: "It lets us show a prospect exactly what their brand looks like on our inventory before they've even signed." RC Deportivo's Sponsorship Sales Manager says it reduces the time needed to design customised proposals for sponsors.

How much does Sportworks.io cost?

Sportworks publishes its prices, in pounds, on its pricing page:

Plans differ by seats and monthly generation limits. Every plan includes all features, unlimited design templates, deck sharing insights, an account manager, priority support and 1-2-1 onboarding. Onboarding includes live training, building your first design templates and loading your inventory and deck templates.

Who does Sportworks.io suit?

It suits partnership managers and commercial directors at clubs, leagues, governing bodies and federations, and the agencies that work for them, especially teams pitching many brands a season. To be clear on scope: Sportworks is for prospecting and pitching today, and sponsor management and reporting are on its roadmap rather than in the product.

What are the other Digideck alternatives?

The other options are SponsorFlo, a sponsorship platform that also covers management, and general presentation tools.

SponsorFlo

SponsorFlo describes itself as sponsorship management software covering prospecting, pitch decks, contracts, deliverables and renewals (SponsorFlo). It suits buyers who want contract and renewal management in the same tool as pitching. Published self-serve prices run from $299 a month (Starter) to $799 a month (Pro), with Enterprise from $2,700 a month on a 12-month minimum.

Pitch

Pitch is a general presentation platform whose analytics links track slide views and time spent on slides (Pitch). It suits general business teams and has a free plan and paid per-seat plans.

Storydoc

Storydoc makes interactive web decks with personalisation variables and deck analytics (Storydoc). It suits individuals and small teams building web-based decks. Published prices start at $19.80 a month (Starter, billed annually), with custom pricing for teams of five or more.

Beautiful.ai

Beautiful.ai is an AI presentation builder with PDF and editable PowerPoint export (Beautiful.ai). It suits teams that want help laying out slides. Pro is $12 a month billed annually and Team is $40 per user per month billed annually.

Canva, PowerPoint and Google Slides

These are what many clubs use instead of a dedicated tool. Desktop PowerPoint comes with Microsoft 365 Apps for business at £9.80 per user per month paid yearly, excluding VAT (Microsoft); anyone with a Google account can use Google Slides (Google); Canva has a free plan (Style Factory). They suit teams sending a handful of pitches a season.

How do the Digideck alternatives compare?

Sportworks.io is built for sports rights holders, combining mockups on your own inventory, personalised decks from your own template, full tracking and whole-sector outbound at a published price in pounds.

What does switching look like in practice?

This is a made-up example, not a real club or Sportworks customer. A fictional second-tier football club with a three-person commercial team wants to pitch 25 energy and utilities brands for next season's sleeve, LED and training kit inventory, using a PowerPoint template an agency built two years ago.

1. Upload the deck. The team uploads the existing PowerPoint to Decks and marks image placeholders for the shirt, LEDs and training kit.
2. Build the mockups. Using Designs on their own photos of the shirt, boards and training ground, they set logo placements once.
3. Run the sector. With Scale, they generate a personalised deck and mockups for all 25 brands in one run.
4. Add motion for the top five. Video turns the LED mockup into a short clip for the five strongest targets.
5. Send and track. Each deck goes out on an email-gated link. The slide heatmap shows which brands spent time on the sleeve slide, and the team calls those first. The Core plan at £499 a month has seats for all three users (check each plan's monthly generation limits on the pricing page).

How Sportworks helps

Sportworks.io gives sports rights holders a personalised, trackable sponsorship deck built on their own PowerPoint and their own inventory, with Scale to pitch a whole sector in one run. Prices start at £299 a month with every feature included, and Sportworks client data shows 10x faster production and 3x more conversions (Sportworks customers). As Reading FC's Chief Commercial Officer puts it: "Sportworks.io has transformed efficiency in our partnership sales."
