Attribute	Beautiful.ai	Gamma
Plans	ProOur pick $14.50/mo billed yearly, or $45 month to month One person who makes decks regularly.	Free Free Testing whether the output suits you.
	Team $40/user/mo billed yearly, or $50 billed monthly Teams of 2 to 20 who need consistent decks.	PlusOur pick See website Individuals who make a few decks a month.
	Enterprise Custom Larger companies with security requirements.	Pro See website People who present weekly or want analytics and the API.
		Ultra See website Heavy users running Gamma all day.
		Business See website Companies that need admin controls and single sign-on.
Which plan to pick	Pro on the yearly plan is the only sensible individual option, because month to month costs three times as much. Go to Team only if several people build decks and you want the brand locked, since $40 a seat adds up fast.	Use the free credits to make two or three decks and judge the output. If you'll keep using it, Plus is the sensible step because it removes the badge and refreshes credits monthly. Only move to Pro if you want the API, custom domains or viewer analytics.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Beautiful.ai	Gamma
Pros	Slides never look messy, no matter who edits them Brand lock keeps a whole company's decks consistent Shared slide library saves rebuilding the same slides Analytics show how prospects read your deck	Fastest route from notes to a presentable deck Designs look polished without any design skill One file works as a deck, document or web page The agent makes rewrites and restyles painless API and connectors mean it fits into automated workflows
Cons	No free plan, and the trial charges your card if you forget to cancel Monthly billing is expensive at $45 for one person Templates are restrictive if you want a custom layout AI drafts are plainer than Gamma's and need more work	Free credits are a one-off, so the free plan runs out Hard to keep strictly on brand across many decks Credits drain quickly if you regenerate images often Exports to PowerPoint don't always keep the layout intact
