Strengths and weaknesses
Gamma

- Free plan caps you at 10 slides per prompt

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.
