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 SlidesPilot if
- Fits if you want a deck drafted from a document
- Works for people who start from a link or a PDF
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: the free credit amount is not stated anywhere public
- Watch out: the web pricing page needs a sign-in, so the iPhone prices may differ
- Watch out: one reviewer said decks made on the web did not appear in the app
- Pricey if you want the top plan, at $38.99 a month on iPhone
How we grade them
| 2.8GPAGammaGood | 2.2GPASlidesPilotFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | CThe iPhone's in-app prices run $8.99, $18.99 and $38.99 a month. The website's own pricing sits behind a sign-in. |
| 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. | CFree credits arrive after sign-up with no card, but the amount is not stated. |
| 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. | CDecks from files, links and prompts, with PowerPoint and Google Slides links. The limits per plan are not shown. |
| 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 rating is on record, and it needs an account and prompts to shape. |
| 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. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with PowerPoint, Google Slides, YouTube and NotebookLM. No desktop app. |
| Best for | a first-draft deck from a prompt or a file | turning documents and links into decks |

Worth knowing
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.
SlidesPilot

- The free credit allowance is not quantified on any public page we could read.
- The iPhone app is listed for iPhone only, and one App Store reviewer reported that decks made on the web did not appear in the app.

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.
