2Slides vs Gamma (2026): which should you pick?

Pick 2Slides if

• Fits if you want to generate slides from code or an agent
• Works for people who prefer buying credits to subscribing

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: subscription credits reset monthly and do not roll over
• Watch out: narration costs 210 credits a page, so 10,000 credits go quickly
• Watch out: a crossed-out $25 sits beside $11 under a banner with no end date
• Skip it if you need a monthly-billed price, as it was not readable

Pick Gamma if

• Fits if you have notes or an old file and want a first-draft deck out of them
• Works for asking "make slide 4 shorter" rather than dragging boxes around

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're never paying, because the 400 free credits don't come back
• Skip it if you want clean exports for free, as PDF and PowerPoint files carry a Gamma badge
• Not for you if you edit on your phone outside the US and Canada, where the apps aren't offered yet
• Watch out: Plus, Pro and Ultra prices aren't on record, and Business is $40 a member a month billed annually
• Pricey if you need the API, viewer analytics, passwords or custom domains, as all start at Pro

2Slides

• Subscription credits reset each month and do not roll over; pack credits do not expire.
• The page shows a crossed-out $25 beside $11 under a limited-time banner with no end date.
• The monthly-billed Pro price was not shown in readable text.
• Narration costs 210 credits per page, so the 10,000-credit plan covers far fewer narrated pages.

Gamma

• Plus, Pro and Ultra prices are shown only on Gamma's pricing page; its help center gives the Business price, $40 per member per month billed annually.
• Free-plan AI credits do not refresh: accounts start with 400 and earn 200 more per referral. Paid plans get monthly credits, from 1,000 on Plus to 20,000 on Ultra.
• API keys, detailed viewer analytics, password protection and custom domains start at the Pro plan, and Ultra is sold on monthly billing only.
• The mobile apps are in early access, limited to the US and Canada, and edit only through the agent, with no manual editing.

Agent

The agent asks about goal and audience, shows a plan to approve, then researches, writes, designs and adds images. Changes are requested in plain language in the same chat.

Present mode

Decks are presented full screen or in a tab, with a presenter view for private speaker notes, a spotlight mode that highlights the current block, and a follow link viewers can use to keep pace.

Exports to PDF, PNG and PowerPoint, with tables kept editable in PPTX. Imports accept PowerPoint and Word files up to 200 MB and PDFs up to 100 MB.

Sites and custom domains

A gamma can be published as a website. Pro can publish up to 10 multi-page sites to custom domains, and Ultra and Business up to 100.

API and connectors

A REST API, generally available since November 2025, creates gammas from text or templates on Pro and higher plans. ChatGPT, Claude and Slack connectors work on every plan.
