| What it does | Gamma is a web-first AI generator for presentations, documents, and web pages from prompts, notes, or uploaded files. | Canva is a visual design workspace with presentation templates, Brand Kits, and Magic Studio AI tools for decks, graphics, images, and video. |
| When to consider it | Consider it when you want to turn notes or outlines into a clean, shareable web deck quickly without manually formatting slide boxes. | Consider it when presentation slides share the same brand assets, social graphics, and marketing templates as the rest of your design team. |
| What to check first | The Free plan uses a one-time 400-credit signup balance that does not replenish monthly, keeps a 'Made with Gamma' badge on exports, and card-based layouts can shift when exported to traditional 16:9 PowerPoint masters. | Canva Free caps AI generation allowances and locks Brand Kits, Magic Resize, and premium stock assets behind Pro or Teams subscriptions. |
