Gamma costs nothing to start and $8/mo for its first real paid tier. There's a free plan with 400 one-time credits, then Plus ($8/mo), Pro ($15/mo) and Ultra ($90/mo), all billed annually and priced per user. The one thing to understand before you pay is the credit system — that's what determines how much you actually get.
Every plan at a glance
Here's the full 2026 lineup. Prices are billed annually; paying monthly costs roughly 20-25% more on each tier.
| Plan | Price (annual) | Credits | Key extras |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 400 one-time | Up to 10 cards, basic AI, "Made with Gamma" badge. |
| Plus | $8/mo | 1,000/mo | Up to 20 cards, branding removed, advanced AI image models, basic brand kit. |
| Pro | $15/mo | 4,000/mo | Up to 60 cards, custom fonts, analytics, API access, 10 custom domains, password protection. |
| Ultra | $90/mo | Highest | Most advanced AI models, 75-card decks, early access to new features. |
The Free plan
Free gives you 400 one-time credits (not a monthly refill), up to 10 cards per generation, and the core editor. It's genuinely usable for evaluating Gamma and making a handful of decks, but there's a "Made with Gamma" badge on your work and you don't get the advanced image models.
Because the 400 credits don't renew, the free plan is best thought of as an extended trial. Once you're making decks regularly, you'll burn through it and want Plus for the monthly top-up.
Plus — $8/mo
Plus is the plan most people should buy. For $8/mo annually you get 1,000 credits a month, up to 20 cards per prompt, the "Made with Gamma" badge removed, and the advanced AI image models that noticeably improve visual quality.
A thousand monthly credits covers roughly 15-20 full decks before images and refinements — plenty for a solo marketer, founder or consultant. Unless you specifically need custom domains, analytics or the API, this is where to stop.
Pro — $15/mo
Pro doubles down for professional and light-team use at $15/mo annually. You get 4,000 monthly credits, up to 60 cards per prompt, custom fonts and branding, per-viewer analytics, API access, up to 10 custom domains, and password protection on shared work.
The reasons to upgrade are specific: you want your own domain on published sites, you need analytics to see who viewed a deck, or you're building content programmatically through the API. If none of those apply, Plus already covers you.
Ultra — $90/mo
Ultra, at $90/mo annually (or $100 monthly), is the power-user tier added in 2026. It unlocks the most advanced AI models, decks up to 75 cards, the highest credit allowance, and early access to new features before they roll out widely.
This is aimed at heavy daily users and agencies producing content at volume. For everyone else it's overkill — the jump from Pro to Ultra is a big one, and most people never hit Pro's limits.
How credits work
Credits are the key to Gamma's real cost, because the sticker price only tells half the story. AI generation spends credits; manual editing doesn't. As a rough guide: a standard 10-slide deck costs about 50 credits, AI images run 2-40 credits each depending on quality, and content refinements cost 5-10 credits.
That means the way you work matters. If you generate once and then edit by hand, credits last a long time. If you regenerate whole decks and pump out lots of high-quality images, you'll draw down faster — Plus's 1,000 credits could disappear in a heavy week. Plan around your regeneration habits, not just the slide count.
Is Gamma worth it?
For most people, yes — Plus at $8/mo is one of the best-value plans in the AI presentation space, cheaper than Beautiful.ai and with a free tier to test first. You're paying for the fastest prompt-to-deck experience on the market plus docs, websites and image generation in the same tool.
Skip it if you need strict brand governance (Beautiful.ai does that better) or native Google/Microsoft integration (Plus AI or Copilot). Otherwise, start free, move to Plus when the one-time credits run out, and only climb to Pro if you hit a specific need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Gamma cost in 2026?
Gamma has a free tier plus three paid plans billed annually: Plus at $8 per month, Pro at $15 per month and Ultra at $90 per month. Paid monthly instead of annually, those rise to roughly $10, $18 and $100 respectively.
Is Gamma's free plan good enough?
For trying it out, yes. The free plan gives 400 one-time credits and up to 10 cards per generation, but it keeps a "Made with Gamma" badge and lacks the advanced image models. Once you make decks regularly you'll want Plus for the monthly credit refill and branding removal.
How do Gamma credits work?
Credits are spent on AI generation. A standard 10-slide deck costs about 50 credits, AI images run 2 to 40 credits each depending on quality, and content refinements cost 5 to 10 credits. Manual editing of existing content is free and doesn't touch your balance.
How many decks can I make with Gamma Plus?
Plus includes 1,000 credits a month. At roughly 50 credits per 10-slide deck, that's about 15 to 20 full decks a month before images and refinements, which is plenty for most individual users.
Which Gamma plan is worth it?
Plus at $8/mo is the best value for most people — it removes branding, adds 1,000 monthly credits and unlocks advanced image models. Upgrade to Pro only if you need custom domains, analytics or API access, and skip Ultra unless you're a heavy power user.
Does Gamma charge per user?
Yes. All paid Gamma plans are priced per user per month. For a team, multiply the per-seat price by the number of people who need to create content; viewers don't need paid seats.
