Does it deserve #6?
Is Gamma worth it?
For most people, yes. Gamma scores 8.5/10 and ranks #6 in AI Assistants. It's best for students, founders and marketers who need a good-looking deck fast. Skip it if you want pixel-perfect control over every slide in PowerPoint or Keynote. Price: Free with 400 starter credits; Plus is $12 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly.
The verdict
Gamma turns a prompt, an outline or a pasted document into a polished presentation, doc, website or social post in moments. Gamma 5, released in October 2026, lets you talk the idea through with its agent before it builds anything, then fine-tune on a freeform canvas. Exports to PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides work even on the free plan. Free credits never refresh, though, and free decks carry Gamma branding.
