Gamma

Use it when

You need to turn a brief, outline, or rough notes into a shareable presentation or visual doc quickly—then polish cards instead of starting from a blank slide master.

What it does well

• Prompt- and import-based generation of presentations, docs, websites, and social-style pages
• Editable card layouts with AI assists for rewrite, images, and longer decks on paid plans
• Export to PDF, PPTX, PNG, and Google Slides for handoff into familiar review loops
• Plus removes Gamma branding; Pro adds custom branding/fonts, analytics, API, and domains
• Team/Business seats for shared themes, admin, and higher per-seat credit pools

Skip it when

• You need strict corporate masters, complex animation, or deep speaker-note workflows in PowerPoint/Keynote
• Your job is product UI or design-system work in Figma—not narrative decks
• Free’s one-time 400 credits and ~10 slides per prompt block ongoing production
• You want Canva’s full social/print/video template ecosystem more than AI-first card decks
• You expect unlimited premium models on Plus—advanced models and heavy Agent use sit higher up the ladder
