If your deck has to end up in PowerPoint, for investors or clients, use a tool that builds it as a PowerPoint file: Slaide plans, writes and designs the whole deck from your prompt, checks every page and exports an editable .pptx with speaker notes. Gamma stays the better pick for web-style decks and simple websites you share as a link; its own help center says exports follow Present Mode and that italics and gradient headings can look different in the .pptx.
Slaide spends more time generating but finishes more of the job: it plans the structure, writes every section, designs the layout and self-checks each page, then exports to real, editable PowerPoint rather than a web-native format that can shift after export.

Why professionals look for a Gamma alternative
Export can drift from what you designed
Gamma supports PPTX export, but fonts, gradients and the Present Mode layout can look different once opened elsewhere. Slaide's PowerPoint export is built to match what you see on screen.
Free credits don't renew
Gamma's free plan gives 400 signup credits once, not a monthly refresh, and exports keep a “Made by Gamma” badge until you pay. Slaide Free instead includes one document with 3 generated pages and a visible plan for up to 12 pages; paid plans remove branding from €7.99/month.
Themes restyle a template, they don't design one
Gamma's themes change colors, fonts and a logo on top of a fixed template structure, the layout logic underneath is the same one every Gamma user picks from. Slaide has no template to restyle: structure and content are designed together for your specific request, so the result has no shared visual fingerprint.
Presentations, documents and websites, not CVs or spreadsheets
Gamma covers three output types. Slaide adds CVs, board reports, research papers, one-pagers and live Excel spreadsheets with working formulas, all from the same prompt box.

Our verdict
Gamma is genuinely fast, and its conversational editing makes small restyles easy. For a quick internal deck where visual consistency across a team matters more than uniqueness, it's a reasonable pick.
Where it struggles is fidelity and identity. Export can drift from the design you approved, and its theme system restyles colors and fonts on a template structure that stays the same for every user, so decks converge on a similar look. For anything client- or investor-facing, that similarity works against you.
Slaide trades a little speed for a document that looks like nothing else and exports the way it was designed. For pitch decks, proposals and reports where the details matter, that trade is worth it.
