Power-user alternative
A Power-user alternative built for banking, not for everyone
Power-user is a generalist: templates, icons, maps and charts for consultants, marketers and corporate teams. Plzfix is narrower on purpose. It does the things deal teams do every day in Excel, PowerPoint and Word, and it costs less than half as much.
Plzfix vs Power-user

Choose Power-user if you build lots of slides from scratch and need a content library. Choose Plzfix if you live in models and pitchbooks and want banking conventions applied in one click.
Where Plzfix is the better fit
- Your deck comes from your firm's template: you need layout and QC tools, not more templates.
- Your day is spent in Excel models that must follow banking colour and number conventions.
- You write French or English IMs and want punctuation and typography checked before they go out.
Questions
Does Plzfix have a template or icon library?
No. Plzfix assumes you work from your firm's template and focuses on formatting, auditing and quality control.
How much does Plzfix cost?
There is a free tier with a daily click allowance and every tool unlocked. Pro is €10 per month, €50 for 6 months or €90 per year, per user, with unlimited use.
Do I need admin rights or an IT ticket to install Plzfix?
No. The installer writes to your Windows user profile only, so it runs without administrator rights.
Do my files leave my computer?
No. Every tool runs locally inside Office. Plzfix only contacts the internet to validate your licence and check for updates. Your workbooks and decks are never uploaded.
