Strengths and weaknesses
Gamma
- Polished first drafts from a short prompt
- Exports to PowerPoint and Google Slides on every plan
- Imports your existing PDFs and PowerPoint files
- Free credits are a one-time grant that never refreshes
- Free plan caps you at 10 slides per prompt
- Individual plans train on your content unless you opt out
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.
Full Gamma review
Grok
- Up-to-the-minute answers on news and trends
- Strong reasoning models on paid plans
- Image and video generation for subscribers
- Deepfake scandal led to probes in several countries
- Closely tied to X and its data practices
- Best models and Grok Imagine require a subscription
Grok stands out for real-time knowledge pulled from X, so it is quick on breaking news and trending topics. Paid plans add Grok 4.7 in Expert and Heavy modes, plus Grok Imagine for images and video. It is looser with content limits than most rivals, and that backfired in January 2026, when sexualized deepfakes made with Grok triggered investigations in the EU, UK and beyond. Privacy and safety remain the weak spots.
