How has Gamma’s price changed?
The first 2024 archive snapshot, from February 15, 2024, lists Plus at $10 and Pro at $20 on the monthly tab. The April 20, 2024 snapshot lists Plus at $10 a seat a month and Pro at $20 a seat a month on the monthly view, with a second set on the yearly view at $8 for Plus and $15 for Pro, both per seat a month. The March 27, 2024 snapshot gives Plus 400 credits per month, and the April snapshot describes Pro as “Unlimited AI creation.”
Three changes appear in more than one source. Ultra and credits, October 2025: the September 6, 2025 snapshot lists Free, Plus and Pro, the November 23, 2025 snapshot adds Ultra, and Gamma’s own post of September 30, 2025 says the new structure starts in October 2025 and states: “To date, Gamma has offered unlimited AI generation for one flat subscription fee.”
Plus rose from $8 to $9 a seat a month on the yearly view. The April 2024 snapshot shows $8. As of October 25, 2026, the pricing page lists $9 a seat a month billed annually, which is $108 a year. Pro rose from $15 to $18 on the same basis. The snapshot shows $15, and the pricing page lists $18 a seat a month billed annually, which is $216 a year, with 4,000 credits a month in place of the unlimited generation.
The pricing page says annual billing saves up to 28%. Costbench, last verified July 1, 2026, lists Plus at $10 and Pro at $20 a month, while presentations.ai, published April 24, 2026, lists $12 and $25. Both list Ultra at $100 a month.
What do users say about Gamma?
The US App Store listing shows 4.8 out of 5 from 1,109 ratings as of October 24, 2026. Trustpilot shows 1.6 out of 5 from 127 reviews as of October 25, 2026, with 74% of reviews at one star. Toolradar’s aggregate puts Gamma at 3.3 out of 5 across 157 reviews on G2, Trustpilot and Capterra, as of September 17, 2026.
One five-star App Store review praises “the way that it works so well with Google Slides” for team collaboration.
Eesel’s review article, last edited October 9, 2025, says users “constantly complain” about PowerPoint and Google Slides export, and that the conversion “often leads to busted layouts, weird slide sizes that don’t fit a 16:9 screen”. A four-star App Store review says: “After downloading a PPT you have to change the font of each sentence.”
All three of the most recent Trustpilot reviews are one star. One, dated October 21, 2026, reads: “Predatory billing practices that make airliners look honest.” Another, dated October 20, 2026, complains about formatting.
What the credits cover
Gamma’s pricing page sets the credit rules. Free includes 400 starter credits that do not refill. Paid plans include monthly credits of 1,000 on Plus, 4,000 on Pro and 20,000 on Ultra, and unused credits roll over up to twice the monthly amount, so Plus can hold 2,000.
The page gives no per-deck cost. The Eesel article puts one presentation at 40 credits and a small AI edit at 10. On that basis Plus’s 1,000 credits cover about 25 new decks before any edits, and Pro’s 4,000 cover about 100. That count rests on one third-party article, so treat it as a rough guide.
How the cost compares in dollars
On annual billing, Microsoft 365 Personal costs $99.99 a year and includes Copilot in the desktop PowerPoint app, according to Microsoft’s individual pricing page as of October 25, 2026. Canva Pro is listed at US$144 a year for one person on Canva’s pricing page as of October 25, 2026. Beautiful.ai’s Pro plan is listed at $14.50 a month billed annually, or $174 a year, as of October 25, 2026, with no effective date shown on the page.
Gamma Plus at $108 a year is $8.01 more than Microsoft 365 Personal, which is about 67 cents a month, and $36 less than Canva Pro. Gamma Pro at $216 a year is $42 more than Beautiful.ai Pro. The gaps are a few dollars to a few tens of dollars a year, so the decision turns on export quality and credit use rather than the subscription price.
The verdict
Pay for Plus on annual billing if you make decks most months, want Gamma branding gone, and will open each export in PowerPoint before it goes to anyone else. At $108 a year it costs $36 less than Canva Pro’s $144 and covers about 25 decks at the Eesel rate. Do not pay for Pro to avoid the credit limit by default. At $216 a year it costs twice as much as Plus for four times the credits, and a heavier generation load is what would justify it.
Two things would change this verdict. If the Trustpilot score moves toward the App Store score, the rating risk shrinks. If Gamma publishes a per-deck credit cost, the deck count above becomes a fact rather than a third-party estimate. Before buying, read the renewal and cancellation terms, because the sharpest complaints in this review are about billing.
