What our research says

AI PPT Maker

Cheap and undemanding: it is one of the few deck generators where the entry tier is under $5 and every paid plan gets the same features, differing only in credit volume. Accepting PDFs, URLs and voice recordings as input is more flexible than most rivals. The vendor is anonymous, though - a corporate suffix and nothing else - so treat it as a disposable tool for non-sensitive material.

Pros

  • Takes text, PDFs, web pages, video and voice recordings as input
  • Exports editable PPTX as well as PDF
  • Feature set is identical across paid tiers - only credit volume changes
  • Entry paid tier is $3.90/month, and the free tier makes about three decks

Cons

  • Free output carries a watermark
  • No company address or country published anywhere on the site
  • Displayed prices are discounts off $4.90 and $19.90
  • No API and no team or brand-template controls

Gamma

The tool that genuinely displaced PowerPoint for a lot of people, and it is profitable enough not to need your money — but credits, not seats, decide how much a plan is actually worth.

Pros

  • Layout and image choice happen without picking a template first
  • One document publishes as a deck, a doc or a live web page
  • Plus at $8/user/month already removes the Gamma badge
  • Profitable at over $100M ARR, so the vendor is not a runway risk

Cons

  • Credit accounting is opaque — a premium image can cost up to 125 credits
  • API keys are locked to Pro and above
  • The free plan's 400 signup credits do not go far on image-rich decks
  • Export fidelity to PowerPoint degrades on complex layouts
