Gamma alternatives
Gamma ranks #2 of 5 for slides & presentations with an evidence score of 25/100. Its weak spot: Exports lose some formatting, and the free tier watermarks and limits AI credits. 4 other tools are ranked for the same job (slides & presentations); 0 score higher, 2 can be used free and 0 are open source. Same public signals as the ranking, recomputed nightly — nothing here is sponsored. Read the Gamma review.

+ Works inside the Office apps you already use, drafting Outlook replies, summarizing Teams meetings and turning Word docs into PowerPoint decks.
− Results inside Excel and PowerPoint are often shallow compared with the standalone chat, which makes the $30 business seat hard to justify.
+ Decks are native Google Slides or PowerPoint files from the start, so there is nothing to export or convert.
− Only a free trial, and the generated layouts are plainer than Gamma's.
+ Generates a full deck or social campaign and then lets you edit every element in the familiar Canva editor.
− AI output leans on Canva's template look, and the most useful Magic features need a Pro subscription.
+ Smart slides enforce design rules so a non-designer cannot make an ugly slide.
− Those same constraints frustrate people who want pixel-level control, and there is no free plan.
