--- title: "Gamma Alternative: Naimi — decks built by the AI you already pay for" description: "Why buy Gamma credits for a second AI? Naimi turns the Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for into personalized, tracked, interactive client presentations. Free plan included." url: https://naimi.ai/alternatives/gamma --- [Home](https://naimi.ai/)/[Alternatives](https://naimi.ai/alternatives)/**Gamma** Gamma · AI presentation maker # The Gamma alternative that runs on the AI you already pay for verdict Gamma is the biggest name in AI presentations — 70M users, and Gamma 3.0’s Agent is genuinely impressive. Our disagreement is with the meter: everything it does burns credits for a built-in AI, while you already subscribe to a stronger one. Naimi hands the building to the agent you already have — at no extra cost — and charges only for what happens after the send: personalization, tracking, client memory. the token math ## You already pay for a frontier model. Don’t buy a smaller one by the coin. Gamma’s engine is a meter. Generating a deck costs about 40 credits, every AI edit after it costs more, and the free plan’s 400 credits are one-time — burn them and the meter asks for a card. No plan turns the meter off: by Gamma’s own docs, no tier offers unlimited AI. You end up buying tokens at a markup, for a model you didn’t choose, inside an editor you can’t leave. Meanwhile the subscription you already pay for — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — is a stronger model with no per-action meter. So Naimi starts there: your agent builds the template with our free kit, and Naimi charges for what the agent can’t improvise — personalized links, tracking, client memory. The AI work costs you nothing extra, whether it’s one deck or the hundredth revision. ~40 credits one deck generation in Gamma 5–10 credits every AI edit after it +$0 the same work in Naimi, on the subscription you already have ## Stay with Gamma if… - You want one app that also makes docs, websites and social posts - Gamma Agent’s built-in web research with citations fits how you draft - You make one-off content decks and present live more than you send links ## Naimi fits better if… - You already pay for Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT and refuse to buy a second AI by the credit - Every deck you make is really “this deck, but for client X” — and re-generating per client feels wrong - You need to know who opened the link — by name, not as an anonymous viewer - You want pricing calculators, package pickers and payments inside the page side by side ## Gamma vs Naimi, without the fog.

Gamma’s analytics answer “how did the content do” — views, time per card, drop-off — from the Pro plan up. But unless the viewer happens to have a Gamma account, they stay anonymous. Fine for a blog-style deck; useless when the whole point was what Acme’s CFO thought of page four. A Naimi presentation is one link for one client, so “who opened it” is never a question — you know. Opens, view time, repeat visits, a Telegram ping the moment it happens, and everything the client clicks or answers is saved to their card, so the next proposal starts pre-filled. what actually differs ## Three differences that decide it. 01 ### Whose AI are you paying for? Every Gamma action runs through its built-in model and burns credits — the deck, the restyle, the one-line fix. Naimi assumes the strongest AI you’ll ever use is the one you already subscribe to — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — and hands it the building job at zero marginal cost. We sell the infrastructure, not the tokens. 02 ### Regeneration is not personalization Gamma’s answer to “make it for client X” — in the editor or via its API — is a fresh AI generation each time: layout drift, credits spent, no guarantee two clients see the same deck. A Naimi template is deterministic: the fields you marked change per client, everything else stays exactly as designed — in seconds, for the hundredth client as for the first. 03 ### The send is where our product starts Gamma’s job ends when the deck looks good; a Naimi page keeps working after you hit send. Clients drag the scope slider, pick a package, pay a deposit, answer questions — and every choice lands in their card next to the open times, ready for your follow-up call. switching ## Migration is one conversation. Export your Gamma deck (PDF or PPTX), hand it to your agent: “turn this into a Naimi template; company, prices and offer are per-client fields”. You keep the design direction, drop the meter, gain the machinery. › here's our current gamma proposal (pdf attached). rebuild it as a naimi template, personalize company + price ✓ template ready — 9 slides, 4 personalized fields faq ## Gamma switchers ask us… **Is Naimi better than Gamma for sales decks?** If a deck goes to a specific client and money depends on it — yes: per-client personalization in seconds, opens and view time with a name attached, interactive pricing, and client memory. For one-off content decks, docs and websites, Gamma remains a fine choice. **What does Gamma’s credit system actually cost?** Gamma meters its built-in AI: generating a deck costs about 40 credits and AI edits cost extra, so the free plan’s 400 one-time credits go fast. Paid plans refresh credits monthly — $9–25 for individuals depending on plan and billing, $100 for Ultra, $20–40 per seat for teams (checked July 2026) — and per Gamma’s own docs, no plan offers unlimited AI. Naimi has no AI meter at all: your existing agent subscription does the generating. **Does Gamma show who viewed my presentation?** Only if the viewer has a Gamma account — otherwise they appear as an anonymous viewer, and analytics start on the Pro plan. Naimi links are per-client, so opens, view time and return visits arrive with a name attached, plus an instant Telegram or webhook ping. **Does Naimi generate slides with AI like Gamma?** The generation happens in your own AI agent using the free Naimi kit — the same conversational experience, but with a stronger model you already pay for, no credit meter, and output that lands directly in a reusable, personalizable template. **Gamma has an API and MCP now — how is Naimi’s different?** Gamma’s API generates, exports and reads analytics, with keys on paid plans and usage billed in credits. Naimi’s REST API + MCP run the whole sales loop — create from a template with per-client fields, edit live links, read opens and view time, write client memory — and it’s included on every plan, because agents are the primary user, not an add-on. **Can I use Naimi without any AI tool at all?** Day-to-day, yes: creating personalized presentations for clients is a simple form in the web app. Building a new template from scratch is where an agent (or our ready-made gallery) comes in.
