Gamma AI Review: Pricing, Features & Alternatives (2026)

👁 120 reads

Gamma is a browser-based app that turns a single prompt, notes or a PDF file into a complete presentation, document or simple website, then lets you refine everything through conversation with an AI agent. The Free plan gives you 400 credits to start and exports with a “Made by Gamma” watermark, while paid plans begin at $9 per month with annual billing. It works well in Polish, as long as you check facts and typography before sending the file.

What is Gamma

Gamma is a tool from the American company of the same name, founded in 2020 and led by Grant Lee. Instead of a blank slide, you get a window where you describe what you need, paste notes or upload a file. After a minute you have complete material: titles, text, layout, graphics and a cohesive theme. Gamma calls units “cards” rather than slides, because a card can be longer than the screen and also works as part of a document or webpage.

One editor produces four types of materials:

• presentations to show in meetings or export to PowerPoint and PDF,
• documents for reading, such as proposals, reports, instructions,
• websites published at gamma.site addresses or on your own domain (from Pro plan),
• social media posts in vertical and square formats.

The most important change of the past year is the agent. Since version 3.0 in September 2025, you can write “shorten everything to 8 cards and add a price comparison table,” and Gamma will rebuild all cards at once. The agent also searches the web (with links to sources), understands pasted screenshots and links, and changes the style of the entire presentation with a single command. How to go through the entire process from material to file is described in the guide Gamma AI: how to make a presentation and check the finished file.

How to start: first presentation step by step

1. Go to gamma.app and create an account (Google, Microsoft or email). No card needed, Free plan activates automatically.
2. Click Create new and choose a path: Generate (prompt), Paste (pasted text or outline) or Import (PDF up to 100 MB, PPTX and DOCX up to 200 MB, webpage link).
3. Set type (presentation, document, page), number of cards and language. In Free plan one prompt gives maximum 10 cards, from Plus up to 100.
4. Approve the outline. This is the most important moment: here you correct the order and remove cards before AI spends credits on content and graphics.
5. Choose a theme. From Pro plan you can set your own logo, brand colors and fonts.
6. Refine content manually or through the agent. Manual editing and export don’t consume credits.
7. Export: Share → Export and PDF, PPTX or PNG. To Google Slides you go through a PPTX file.

Before sending, we open the file in the program where the recipient will see it. Gamma builds cards of variable height, and PowerPoint has fixed 16:9 slides, so long cards can get compressed. What exactly breaks after export and how to avoid it is detailed in the article Gamma: presentation from PDF and notes, export to PowerPoint.

AI features and models

• Agent - edit entire material with a command, web search with citations, style transformation, understanding of screenshots and links.
• Image generation - several models to choose from. In February 2026 Recraft v4, Gemini 3.1 Flash Image and Flux 2 variants were added. Before generating, Gamma shows how many credits a given model costs.
• Templates - since February 2026 you can build your own template and generate subsequent materials in the same layout.
• Charts and tables - since August 2026 charts sync with Google Sheets.
• Analytics - who opened the presentation and how long they viewed individual cards (from Pro plan).
• Websites - publishing at gamma.site or on your own domain, with Google indexing for Pro and Ultra plans.
• Integrations - app in ChatGPT and connector in Claude (on all plans), Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n and API (from Pro).
• Mobile apps - iOS and Android since August 28, 2026: preview, generation, editing with agent and presenting from phone.

Gamma doesn’t disclose which language model it uses for text in a given plan. What’s known is that Ultra gives access to the most expensive text, image and video models, and higher plans allow manual image model selection.

How much does Gamma cost

The official pricing at gamma.app blocks automatic checking and shows amounts in euros from Poland, so below we provide prices in dollars according to pricing sheets from October 1, 2026. Prices are per seat, excluding VAT.

Credits in paid plans renew monthly, and unused credits roll over up to double the pool. Manual editing and export are free even when credits run out. Details on credit usage, purchasing packages and refund policies are described in the article How much does Gamma cost, and what you can do without paying is in the “free” section below.

Gamma for free: how far it goes

The Free plan has no time limit, but has a one-time pool of 400 credits that doesn’t renew. In practice it’s enough for several presentations with graphics, meaning enough to check if this workflow suits you. Export to PDF, PPTX and PNG works, but with “Made by Gamma” watermark. For each referred person you get 200 credits, maximum 2,000 in the account. When credits run out, you can still edit manually and export.

Gamma in Polish

Gamma generates content in over 60 languages, including Polish: just write the prompt in Polish or set the language in the generation window. The gamma.app site has a Polish version, and Polish reviews describe an interface language switcher to Polish in account settings. The help center doesn’t have Polish in the language list, so you read help articles in English.

There are three typical problems with Polish text:

• English calques - titles like “Unlock potential” and “Revolution in…”, capital letters in every word of the heading, English quotation marks.
• Numbers and dates - period instead of decimal comma, “10/15/2026” format, currency before amount.
• Proper name declension - company or city name in wrong case, especially in headers generated from scratch.

A complete list of settings, prompts that limit these errors, and a checklist before export are collected in the article Gamma in Polish: settings, prompts and checklist.

Our workflow: a prompt that saves corrections

The biggest difference in quality doesn’t come from the plan, but from what you enter at the start. A prompt like “presentation about our company” gives generalities because Gamma doesn’t know your data. So we always paste material and add constraints above it. Our template looks like this:

Prepare a presentation in Polish on 8 cards for the board of a manufacturing company. Goal: decision on purchasing a new packaging line. Use only the data below. Mark missing information as [TO BE COMPLETED]. Don’t invent clients, numbers or quotes. Write headings as sentences with conclusions, capital letter only at the beginning. Amounts in złoty, with decimal comma and space between thousands (e.g. 1 250 000 zł). Dates in format November 15, 2026. Polish quotation marks „”.

Only below this do we paste notes. Such a prompt also works in ChatGPT and Claude when we generate Gamma through their integrations. Prompt writing principles are described more broadly in the article How to create a presentation with AI.

To be honest: in this review we didn’t measure Gamma’s quality itself on the account. The app page blocks automatic checking, and data on features and pricing come from documentation, changelog and pricing sheets listed in sources.

Gamma versus the competition

Gamma wins on speed from idea to complete material and the fact it works without an office subscription. It loses when the file must be native PowerPoint in corporate template or when the presentation is primarily graphical. Detailed comparisons:

• Alternatives to Gamma: Canva, Napkin, Beautiful.ai and others
• Gamma or PowerPoint with Copilot
• Presentation in Canva
• AI for presentations: from outline to editable slides

Who is Gamma for

• Yes: sales people and agencies (proposals from notes after conversation), trainers and teachers (materials from outline), startup founders (first version of pitch deck), people who send links instead of attachments. Use case examples are described in the article Gamma in practice.
• Rather not: companies with rigorous PowerPoint template, confidential materials that can’t be kept on external server, presentations where polished graphics and animations matter.
• Plan: Free to test, Plus with several materials monthly sent externally, Pro with regular work using company brand. Ultra makes sense only with mass production using expensive image models.

Frequently asked questions

Is Gamma free?

Yes, the Free plan doesn’t require a card and doesn’t expire. It gives 400 credits one-time, up to 10 cards per prompt and export to PDF, PPTX and PNG with “Made by Gamma” watermark. After using credits you can still edit manually.

Does Gamma work in Polish?

Yes. It generates presentations in Polish when the prompt is in Polish or you set Polish in the generation window. The site has a Polish version. Before sending, check numbers, quotation marks and proper name declension.

Does Gamma export to PowerPoint?

Yes, to PPTX on every plan, including free. Layout may require corrections because cards in Gamma have variable height. To Google Slides you go through PPTX file, and there’s no Word export.

Does Gamma have a phone app?

Yes, since August 28, 2026 there are official iOS and Android apps. Earlier, fakes with the same name circulated in stores, so install the app from the link in Gamma’s help center.

Gamma or Canva - which to choose?

Gamma if you’re starting from text and want the entire structure with content in a minute. Canva if the presentation is mainly graphical or you’re making other materials in it anyway. Canva Pro has local pricing.

Does Gamma work in ChatGPT and Claude?

Yes. Since March 2026 Gamma is an app in ChatGPT, and since January 2026 has a connector in Claude. You describe the presentation in conversation, and the finished material opens in Gamma. Works on all plans.

Are my presentations in Gamma secure?

Materials sit on Gamma’s servers until you export and delete them. Business plan adds SSO and additional data controls. We don’t put documents covered by confidentiality into any external generator.
