Gamma pricing, explained
Gamma is one of the better-known AI presentation makers, and its pricing confuses people for one reason: it’s built on credits, not just tiers. Here’s how the model works, who it fits — and the part no deck generator solves: delivering the finished deck.
Gamma is an AI presentation maker priced on a freemium, credit-based model. As of June 2026, per its published pricing, the free tier includes a one-time allowance of AI credits, while paid plans — roughly $8–$25 per user per month depending on tier and billing period — unlock heavier AI generation, more customization, and removal of the Gamma badge.
The product
What Gamma actually is
Gamma generates presentations, documents, and simple websites from a prompt: you describe the topic, it produces a structured, themed deck of “cards” you can edit, restyle, and present or export. It’s genuinely good at this — the generation step that used to take an afternoon in a slide editor takes minutes.
That generation has a real compute cost, which is why Gamma meters it. Understanding the meter is most of understanding the pricing.
The meter
How the credit system works
Three things to understand before comparing tiers — and one to check before paying.
Every AI action costs credits. Generating a full deck costs the most; smaller actions like regenerating one card or creating an AI image cost less. Editing by hand costs nothing.
Free credits are a one-time grant, not a monthly refill. New free accounts get a fixed allowance to try the product. Once it’s spent, AI generation stops until you upgrade — you keep access to everything you already made.
Paid tiers raise or remove the ceiling. The practical difference between tiers is how much AI you can use and how much branding control you get.
The thing to check before buying: whether the tier you’re considering refills credits monthly or removes the limit entirely, and what each action costs at the time you subscribe. These numbers are the most frequently adjusted part of Gamma’s pricing — any blog post quoting exact figures (including this one’s ranges) ages fast, so confirm on gamma.app.
The tiers
Gamma’s plans at a glance (June 2026)
Conceptually — per Gamma’s published pricing as of June 2026; names, prices and allowances have shifted before and will again.
Free
Built around a one-time grant of AI credits. Each AI action — generating a deck, regenerating a card, creating an image — spends credits, and what you publish carries Gamma branding. When the grant runs out, AI generation stops (editing what you already made continues). Credit amounts change; check gamma.app for the current number.
Entry paid tier
Historically named Plus. As of June 2026, per Gamma’s published pricing, the entry tier raises or removes the credit ceiling and drops the “Made with Gamma” badge — the two limits free users hit first. Exact inclusions shift between pricing updates, so verify before subscribing.
Top tiers
Historically named Pro, with team and business plans above it. These add heavier AI usage, more customization and branding control, and collaboration features. Per the published pricing as of June 2026, individual paid plans land roughly between $8 and $25 per user per month depending on tier and billing period.
The fit
Who Gamma fits
This isn’t a takedown — for a clear set of people, Gamma is the right tool and fairly priced.
You want the deck designed for you
Gamma’s core strength: prompt in, structured and themed deck out. If staring at a blank slide is your bottleneck, the generation alone can justify a subscription.
You present live or export to slides
If your decks end up presented in a room or handed over as PowerPoint files, a dedicated presentation tool is the natural home for them.
You produce decks in volume
Sales teams and content marketers generating decks weekly will burn through any credit allowance fast — for them, an unlimited paid tier is priced sensibly.
The other half of the job
Generation is half the job. Delivery is the other half.
A deck’s life doesn’t end when it’s generated — it ends when a client, investor, or buyer reads it. That second half raises different questions: is the link branded or someone else’s domain? Can you password-protect it? Will it show up on Google? And the big one — did they actually open it, and for how long?
If you already pay for Claude, you don’t need a second AI subscription for the generation step: Claude builds a polished deck as a single HTML page, included in the plan you have. Pagelive then handles delivery — a branded, tracked, password-protectable link that’s noindex by default and served separately from your account data, on Cloudflare’s SOC 2 Type II infrastructure. The whole workflow runs $0–15/mo.
Ask Claude for the deck as HTML
Describe the deck — audience, sections, brand colors — and ask for a single self-contained HTML page. Generation is included in the Claude plan you already pay for.
Publish it on Pagelive
Paste or drop the HTML at app.pagelive.io, or say “publish this” in Claude with the Pagelive connector. You get a live pagelive.site link in seconds.
Send one link, watch it work
The link is noindex by default, password-protectable, and tracked — opens, unique viewers, country, and time on page, so silence after sending stops being a guess.

*Rough range as of June 2026, per Gamma’s published pricing; tiers, names, and credit allowances change — see gamma.app for current numbers. “—” means we’re not aware of the capability being offered; happy to be corrected.
Pagelive’s side is simple: free tier with 10 pages, Pro at $15/mo or $150/yr — full pricing here. Sending decks to investors? See pitch-deck tracking, or how Pagelive compares as a DocSend alternative.
Frequently asked
Is Gamma free? +
Gamma has a free tier as of June 2026, per its published pricing. It works on a one-time grant of AI credits: every AI generation spends credits, and once they’re gone you need a paid plan to keep generating. Editing what you’ve already made remains available, and free output carries Gamma branding.
How does Gamma’s credit system work? +
Each AI action has a credit cost — generating a full deck costs the most, regenerating a single card or creating an AI image costs less. Free accounts get a fixed one-time allowance; paid tiers raise or remove the ceiling. The exact costs and grants change between pricing updates, so check gamma.app before relying on a number.
How much does Gamma cost per month? +
As of June 2026, per Gamma’s published pricing, individual paid plans land roughly between $8 and $25 per user per month depending on the tier and whether you pay monthly or annually, with team plans above that. Treat any specific figure you read elsewhere as dated — the tiers and credit allowances have changed before.
What’s a cheaper way to make and share AI decks? +
If you already pay for Claude, deck generation is effectively included: ask for the deck as a single HTML page. Publishing it as a branded, tracked, password-protectable link costs $0 on Pagelive’s free tier (10 pages) or $15/mo on Pro — so the full workflow runs $0–15/mo on top of the Claude plan you already have.
