Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.8

GPA, above 16 of the 24 other presentation tools we grade

Gamma is an AI tool that generates presentations, documents, websites and social posts from a prompt, pasted text or an imported file. Its agent asks a few questions, proposes a plan and then builds the deck, and later edits are requested in chat. Finished work can be presented in the browser, shared by link, published as a site or exported to PowerPoint, PDF or PNG.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Gamma, taken from its own pages and our grades.

You describe what you want, approve a plan and ask for changes in plain words.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for a first-draft deck from a prompt or a file

    Gamma is a web and phone app that drafts decks from a prompt or a file: its agent asks what the deck is for, shows a plan, then writes and designs it, and you ask for changes in chat.

  2. 2

    There is a free plan

    Free plan with no time limit and no card: 400 AI credits that do not refresh, up to 10 slides per prompt and basic image models. PDF and PowerPoint exports carry a Gamma badge.

  3. 3

    It runs on 3 platforms

    Web, iOS and Android.

  4. 4

    Generate, paste or import

    Three ways to start: generate a draft from a topic, paste existing text for Gamma to lay out, or import a PowerPoint, Word or PDF file or a URL to be restyled.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    A 2.8 GPA, above 16 of 24

    That is against the other presentation tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  8. 8

    Keep it

    The plain part of Gamma you could make: documents and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card

Best for a first-draft deck from a prompt or a file

Gamma is a web and phone app that drafts decks from a prompt or a file: its agent asks what the deck is for, shows a plan, then writes and designs it, and you ask for changes in chat. But the free credits never refill, free exports carry a Gamma badge, most paid prices aren't on record, the phone apps are US and Canada only, and there's no desktop app.

ToolGPA report cardGammaGraded Oct 10, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCNo 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.
Free plan and trialCFree 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.
FeaturesBThe 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.
Ease of useA4.8 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.
Platforms and integrationsBWeb 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.
Grade point averageGood, out of 4.02.8

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Gamma is for

  • 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

Who it is not for

  • 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

Good to know

Good for

  • Turning a topic, notes or an existing file into a first-draft deck
  • People who would rather describe changes than arrange slides by hand
  • Teams automating deck creation through the API, Zapier, Make or n8n

Worth knowing

  • 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.

Part 02 · Pricing

What it costs

Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved

Gamma's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.

No price we can stand behind: Gamma shows Plus, Pro and Ultra only on its own pricing page, which wouldn't load for us.
From our grade for value for money

We could not confirm Gamma’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. gamma.app has them.

Ways to pay less

  • Annual discount

    28% off with annual billing

    Gamma's help center says annual plans include the same monthly credits as monthly subscriptions at a 28% discount. Ultra is offered on monthly billing only.

Part 04 · Standing

Where it stands

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own

16/24

Other presentation tools it is graded above

Gamma's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 16 of the 24 other presentation tools we grade, and level with 1.

It stands best on ease of use (A, above 22 of 24) and worst on free plan and trial (C, above 3).

Each grade against the category

Every bar is all 25 presentation tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Gamma’s own letter is outlined.

  • CValue for moneyAbove 9 of 24
  • CFree plan and trialAbove 3 of 24
  • BFeaturesAbove 14 of 24
  • AEase of useAbove 22 of 24
  • BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 7 of 24

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

The plain part of Gamma you could make: documents and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 16 of the 24 other presentation tools we grade.

What you could make

  • Documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.

What you could not

  • A slide editor.
  • A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
  • It plugs into other products, Claude, ChatGPT and Slack among them, and has an API.
  • AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
  • The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

What this rests on. Gamma’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
