I’ve been using Gamma on a subscription basis—not the free version—and was initially impressed by its user-friendly interface and how quickly it allowed me to generate polished presentations. It’s a great tool for creating clean, modern slides with minimal effort, especially in the early stages of a project. However, after extended use, several drawbacks became clear. The biggest issue is that most presentations end up looking very similar. The templates, visuals, and graphic elements are quite limited, and anyone familiar with Gamma can instantly recognize when a deck has been created using the tool. Customization is another weak point. When trying to embed more complex or tailored content, the visualizations often break or fail to render properly. Layouts don’t adapt well, and there’s very little room for creative flexibility. Moreover, typos occur frequently and are surprisingly hard to eliminate—even when requesting revised versions. As a paying user, I expected more depth and control. Right now, the toolbox for visuals and slide adjustments feels underdeveloped for professional use. Unless these limitations are addressed soon, I’m not sure I’ll continue my subscription. Gamma has strong potential, but it urgently needs to expand its customization features and improve output reliability to justify the cost.
