Buyer Guidance

Recommendation by buyer situation

Team makes recurring business decks
Start with Beautiful.ai when executives, sales, marketing, or consulting teams need consistent layouts, shared themes, brand controls, analytics, and PowerPoint export.
Founder or PM needs a fast first draft
Start with Gamma when the first job is turning a prompt, outline, PDF, PPTX, or rough notes into a usable narrative deck or visual document quickly.
Enterprise rollout
Beautiful.ai deserves a closer look when SSO, SCIM, audit logs, advanced permissions, protected sharing, and brand guardrails are part of the buying checklist.

Procurement checks before rollout

Trial and pricing
Beautiful.ai has a 14-day trial that requires a credit card and paid Pro/Team/Enterprise plans. Gamma has a free plan but its paid feature gates should still be verified at checkout.
Presentation data
Review treatment of uploaded source material, prompts, customer decks, board updates, viewer analytics, sharing links, and generated media before using either tool for confidential material.
Export workflow
Confirm whether the final deck must be PowerPoint-editable, PDF-only, web-hosted, or maintained inside the vendor workspace before choosing the source of truth.

Decision Criteria

Choose Beautiful.ai if

  • You need polished business decks with Smart Slides, templates, brand themes, viewer analytics, and PowerPoint export.
  • You are buying for a team that values consistent presentation quality and brand governance more than one-off generation speed.
  • Enterprise features like SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit logs, role-based permissions, and password-protected sharing are part of the evaluation.

Choose Gamma if

  • You need the fastest AI-first path from prompt, outline, PDF, PPTX, or rough notes to a presentable deck or one-pager.
  • You want the same AI drafting workflow to cover documents, websites, graphics, or social formats.
  • You can accept more manual cleanup if the tool gets the first draft moving quickly.

Skip both if

  • Your company requires strict PowerPoint-native authoring with no hosted AI workspace.
  • The content is too sensitive to upload before vendor review and sharing/retention rules are approved.
  • The real bottleneck is strategic messaging, not slide design or deck generation.
