Gamma is an AI tool for creating presentations, documents and simple websites from a prompt. Its homepage headline is “Visual storytelling without limits”, and it describes itself as the visual communication platform for presentations, documents and more, with an expert AI agent that knows your goals. You describe what you need, Gamma drafts a structured result, and you edit it in the browser.
This guide covers what Gamma documents about its features and its credit-based plans, where the limits sit, and who is likely to get value from it. It is based on the homepage and Gamma’s own help and guide pages as we read them on 14 November 2026. If you want a shorter take, see our shorter review.
How we researched this: we did not run hands-on tests for this article. It is based on the vendor’s own documentation and public sources, checked on 14 November 2026. Features and prices change, so confirm details on the vendor’s site before you buy.
Key takeaways
- Gamma creates presentations, documents and web pages from one workspace, and says a first draft is generated in about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Plans are Free, Plus, Pro and Ultra, plus a Business option, all built on monthly AI credits; the Free plan starts with 400 credits that do not refresh.
- We could not confirm dollar prices from the pages we read, so check the live pricing page.
- Paid plans add higher credit allowances, API access on Pro and Ultra, custom domains and the removal of the Made with Gamma badge.
- Credits are consumed by AI actions, and Gamma says used credits are not returned even if you do not like the result.
What it is and who makes it
One workspace for decks, documents and pages
Gamma’s product description lists documents, presentations, social media posts, websites and templates, plus a developer API. Its guide pages say all three main formats (card-based decks, long-form documents and web pages) are created from one workspace and are browser-based, with nothing to download.
The AI agent
The homepage says the platform comes with an expert AI agent. A Gamma guide page says the Gamma Agent was introduced with Gamma 3.0 in September 2025 and lets you update content or restyle projects with chat-style commands. The pricing help page lists AI Agent access even on the Free plan.
Who makes it
Gamma, at gamma.app. The pages we read did not state company details in the text we captured. Check the terms page for the operator.
Our earlier shorter review of Gamma remains available. This guide replaces none of it, and adds more on plans and limits.
Who it is for
Professionals who need a deck quickly
Gamma says it generates a structured result in about 30 to 60 seconds. For internal updates, proposals and early drafts, that speed is the draw.
Teams that share links
Each project has a persistent URL that reflects the latest version, so viewers see updates without you resending anything. Free web pages are hosted on a gamma.site subdomain, and paid plans allow custom domains.
Small businesses and freelancers
Simple business sites, landing pages and portfolios can be built from the same workspace, with paid plans adding custom domains and analytics.
Teams building on top of Gamma
Pro and Ultra list API access, and the product description links developer documentation for the Gamma API.
Who should look elsewhere
If you need pixel-level control of every slide for a brand-locked corporate template, a card-based layout can be limiting. Gamma’s own guide notes PowerPoint exports may need formatting cleanup because of that layout. For a head-to-head look at another presentation tool, see Gamma versus Beautiful.ai.
Core features
AI generation from a prompt
Create with AI is metered per slide and per image. The Free plan allows up to 10 slides per prompt and 50,000 input tokens for the initial generation, while Plus and above allow up to 100 slides per prompt and Plus allows 100,000 input tokens.
Editing with the Agent
Editing with the Agent, adding cards with AI and trying new layouts all use credits. Manual editing is free.
Image generation
Plans differ in image models: Free has basic models, Plus adds advanced models, Pro adds premium and Ultra adds ultra models, according to the help page.
Documents and web pages
Besides decks, Gamma produces documents such as proposals, reports and long-form content, and web pages such as landing pages and portfolios. Each output type is managed separately, so changes to one do not automatically sync to the others.
Themes, layouts and design
Layout, image selection, fonts and colours are applied automatically, with ready-made templates for presentations, documents and websites.
Sharing and publishing
Projects have persistent URLs. Pro lists headers and footers and password protection, and Ultra adds custom fonts.
Exports
The guide page mentions PowerPoint export. It does not describe other formats, so confirm export options for your plan in the product.
Speed versus control
Because Gamma applies layout, imagery, fonts and colours for you, a first draft appears quickly but you give up some control. The practical workflow is to accept the structure, rewrite headings and claims yourself, and use the Agent only for restyling or repeated changes where the credit cost is worth it.
Newer or advanced features and integrations
Gamma API
API access is listed on Pro and Ultra, and the product description links to API documentation. It is aimed at developers who want to generate Gamma content from their own tools.
Custom domains
Pro includes 10 custom domains and Ultra 100, according to the pricing help page. Free web pages use a gamma.site subdomain.
Analytics
Pro and Ultra list detailed analytics for shared content.
Credit buckets
Gamma describes three credit buckets: plan credits (the monthly allowance), purchased credits (no cap, and they do not expire while your plan is active) and workspace credits (Business and Enterprise only). Plan credits are used first, then purchased credits, then workspace credits.
Referral credits
You can earn 200 credits per referral, up to 2,000 at once, per the credits help page.
Business and Enterprise
The pricing page lists a Business plan only by link to separate information, and the credits page mentions Business and Enterprise workspace credits. We could not read the details, so ask the vendor.
Pricing and plans
Checked on 14 November 2026 on Gamma’s help centre, which lists plan features and credits but, in the text we captured, no dollar prices. We therefore make no price claims. Confirm on the Gamma pricing help page and the pricing page on gamma.app.
| Plan | Monthly credits | Other listed features |
|---|---|---|
| Free | No monthly refresh; new accounts start with 400 credits | AI creation; AI Agent access; basic image models; up to 10 slides per prompt; 50k input tokens for initial generation |
| Plus | 1,500 | Basic and advanced image models; up to 100 slides per prompt; up to 100,000 input tokens; no Made with Gamma badge |
| Pro | 4,000 | API access; basic, advanced and premium image models; headers and footers; password protection; 10 custom domains; detailed analytics; no badge |
| Ultra | 20,000 | API access; up to ultra image models; custom fonts; 100 custom domains; detailed analytics; monthly billing only at present |
| Business | Not listed | Described on a separate page we could not read |
Annual plans include the same monthly credits as monthly plans at a 28% discount, according to the help page. Unused credits roll over up to double the plan size, so Plus can hold up to 3,000. Upgrades charge the prorated difference immediately, downgrades apply at the end of the billing cycle, and cancelling returns plan credits to the Free allowance of 400. Purchased credits stay for one year after cancellation. Gamma states it offers no traditional free trial, and each seat is billed separately. Our guide to reading an AI tool pricing page explains how to estimate cost on credit models.
Planning your credits
The help pages do not publish a per-slide credit cost in the text we read, and they say credit costs and which actions consume credits may change. A sensible way to plan is to run your usual deck once on the Free plan, note how many of the 400 starting credits it used, and multiply by how many decks you make a month. Compare that number with the monthly allowance of Plus (1,500), Pro (4,000) or Ultra (20,000). Remember that each seat is billed separately, so a team of five pays for five allowances,.
Billing mechanics worth knowing
Upgrades take effect immediately with a prorated charge for the remainder of the cycle. Downgrades wait until the cycle ends. Promo codes apply only to a first move from Free to a paid plan. Cancelling goes through the Stripe subscription page, and the paid plan stays active until the billing period ends. Because credits above your plan allowance are lost on cancellation, use purchased credits only for real gaps.
Credit buckets at a glance
The table summarises Gamma’s own description of its three credit buckets.
| Bucket | Who gets it | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Plan credits | Every plan; monthly allowance on paid plans, 400 starting credits on Free | Refill on your billing date on paid plans; unused credits can build up to double your plan size; Free credits do not refresh |
| Purchased credits | Anyone who buys more | No cap; they do not expire while your plan is active; kept for one year after cancellation |
| Workspace credits | Business and Enterprise only | Used after plan and purchased credits |
Strengths
Fast first drafts
The vendor says a structured draft appears in about 30 to 60 seconds, which removes the blank-page problem.
Several formats in one place
Decks, documents and web pages in one workspace avoid switching tools when a project needs more than one output.
Easy sharing
Persistent URLs mean viewers always see the latest version.
Clear rules about credits
Gamma explains what uses credits, what does not (failed actions and clarifying questions are not charged), and how rollover and purchased credits work.
A free way to try it
The Free plan includes 400 credits and AI Agent access, enough to test the workflow.
Weaknesses and limits
Credits are consumed even by drafts you do not like
Gamma states that if the AI completes an action, credits are used even if you do not like the result, and undoing a change does not return them. Iterating heavily costs credits.
Free credits do not refresh
The Free plan starts with 400 credits and they do not refresh monthly, so it is a trial rather than a permanent allowance.
Card layout limits precise control
Gamma’s own guide notes that PowerPoint exports may need formatting cleanup because of the card-based layout. If your brand template is strict, test an export first.
Output types are separate
Because each output type is managed separately, changes to a deck do not flow into a document made from the same material.
Pages disagree on some plan details
One guide page says paid plans add unlimited AI generation, while the help page describes monthly credit allowances. We trust the help page, but the mismatch shows why you should read the live pricing page. For checking AI-written content, see how to check AI output for mistakes.
Claims in generated slides still need checking
A generated deck can contain confident statements, invented statistics or mismatched images. Treat every number and name in a generated deck as unverified until you have checked it against a source, particularly before client or board use.
Privacy, data handling and security
The pages we read said little about data handling. The help centre covers billing through Stripe and credits, and the guide pages cover publishing. We did not find statements about model training, retention or certifications in the text we captured, so we cannot report them.
- Remember that published projects have persistent URLs, so check sharing settings before posting a link.
- Password protection is listed on Pro and Ultra.
- Ask the vendor whether prompts and uploaded content are used for training.
- Avoid pasting confidential client material until you have read the privacy policy.

How it compares
The table uses only points documented on pages we read on 14 November 2026. We did not research Beautiful.ai for this guide, so see our separate comparison for it.
| Tool | Main job | Documented points |
|---|---|---|
| Gamma | Presentations, documents and web pages | Monthly credits on Free, Plus, Pro, Ultra; AI Agent; custom domains; PowerPoint export |
| Julius AI | Data analysis plus slides, sites, images and video | Credit-based plans from Free to Business; database connectors on paid tiers |
| NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook) | Answers and outputs from your own sources | Slide decks revisable slide by slide; export to PPTX and PDF; limits by Google AI plan |
| Beautiful.ai | Presentation design | Not researched here; see our separate comparison |
Gamma is the broadest for making finished-looking decks from a prompt, while Gemini Notebook produces slides grounded in your own sources, and Julius pairs slides with data analysis. For another view, see Gamma versus Beautiful.ai.
Getting started
- Sign up for the Free plan, which starts with 400 credits.
- Write a short prompt for a deck you actually need, and choose a modest slide count.
- Edit by hand where possible, because manual editing is free.
- Export to PowerPoint if you need it and check the formatting.
- Look at how many credits the draft used, then estimate your monthly need before choosing a plan.
Use our guide to testing an AI tool before you pay to structure that trial.

We could not confirm dollar prices from the pages we read. Annual plans carry a 28% discount per the help page. Check the live pricing page.
Does Gamma charge for failed generations?
Gamma says you are not charged when an action fails, shows an error or asks a clarifying question. If the AI completes the action, credits are used even if you do not like the result.
Is there a Gamma plan for teams?
The help page mentions Business and Enterprise with workspace credits, but the details are on a separate page we could not read. Each seat is billed separately on the standard plans.
Conclusion
Gamma is built for fast creation of presentations, documents and simple websites. Its strengths are speed, one workspace for several formats, easy sharing and an explicit credits system. Its limits are credit consumption on every AI action, free credits that do not refresh, formatting cleanup on export and some inconsistency between pages.
Best for: professionals who need decent drafts quickly. Think twice if: you need exact brand control or have a large volume of AI edits. Test with the free credits and read the live pricing page.
