What makes Pitch better than purchasing templates? For instance, you can find professionally designed templates here [1].

For me it's simply the fact that I do not have to pay a dime.

Which to me means that these templates/themes are at risk of starting to look stale sooner rather than later.

What makes Spotify better than early iTunes? Quite obvious, no?

No, I don't think it is. Early itunes was a media player and music store I could use to catalog my own music as well as license theirs. Spotify is a streaming music service with a free ads based model or paid monthly subscription to get access to most commercially released music. How is that anything like Pitch vs PowerPoint templates?

I was just referring to the 'Subscription service vs One-time purchase' model. If you want to make a single presentation in a year, perhaps, not considering any differences, you are better of buying templates on Themeforest. But the convenience, cost-effectiveness of such a service, i can certainly see value
