Which one is for you
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
Pick SlideBot if
- Fits if you want an HTML deck with animated backgrounds
- Makes sense if you need one deck and will pay $9.99 for it
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is none
- Skip it if you need PowerPoint files, since the pages list none
- Tight if you make many decks, as AI use stops when the monthly allowance ends
- Watch out: the one-document and one-deck purchases are valid for 7 days
- Watch out: the $30 per user Business plan is only listed as coming soon
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAGammaGood | 1.6GPASlideBotWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price we can stand behind: Gamma shows Plus, Pro and Ultra only on its own pricing page, which wouldn't load for us. The one figure on record is Business at $40 a member a month billed annually, four times the $9.99 middle here. Annual billing is 28% off and Ultra is monthly only. | CStudio is $15 a month, at the dearer quarter's edge of $14.90. A single deck is a $9.99 one-time purchase valid for 7 days. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree with no time limit and no card, but the caps arrive fast: 400 AI credits that never refresh, 10 slides a prompt, basic image models, and a Gamma badge on PDF and PowerPoint exports. A referral earns 200 more credits. | FNothing is free, and there is no trial. Nothing more is listed. |
| Features | BThe whole job, start to finish: generate from a topic, pasted text or an imported PowerPoint, Word or PDF file, an agent that plans and writes it, a present mode with speaker notes and a follow link, exports with editable tables, and publishing as a website. API keys and analytics start at Pro. | CBuilds and restyles decks and documents. The pages list HTML, PDF and Word but not PowerPoint. |
| Ease of use | A4.8 from about 1,100 App Store ratings, one of only a couple of ratings in this category that clear our bar for an A. You describe what you want, approve a plan and ask for changes in plain words. No slide-arranging. | CNo store rating is on record. It is a browser studio that needs an account. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and phones, with no desktop app at all, which is where this stops short of an A. Connectors: ChatGPT, Claude and Slack on every plan, Zapier, Make and n8n, and a REST API from Pro up. The phone apps are early access, US and Canada only, and edit through the agent alone. | CWeb only, with no apps and no integrations listed. |
| Best for | a first-draft deck from a prompt or a file | AI decks built on animated backgrounds |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
