The verdict
For a small team that wants a quick first draft and has no strict template, I'd pick Gamma. You can start on the free plan, the editor is easy to learn and the web link is handy for sharing. If your team already builds decks in PowerPoint or Google Slides, and the brand and templates matter, I'd pick Plus AI.
Two cautions. Gamma decks can look like Gamma decks unless someone customises them. Plus AI is only as good as your template, and it has no free plan, so use the trial on a real deck. With either tool, a person reads every slide before it goes to a client.

Who each is for
Choose Gamma if…
Pick Gamma if you make pitch outlines, one-pagers and internal updates often and do not have a locked corporate template. It suits founders and operators who would rather edit a finished draft than start from a blank slide. The card model also works for longer scrolling documents and small web pages, which a slide add-on does not do.
It has a free plan, so you can test it on a real job before you pay. If automation is the point, check the plan first, because API access needs a higher plan. Export a copy for any venue where the Wi-Fi is uncertain.
Choose Plus AI if…
Pick Plus AI if decks are already part of your week and live in PowerPoint or Google Slides. Consultants, sales teams and marketing teams fit best, because their templates, logo and fonts are already set. Plus AI drafts from a prompt or from a PDF, Word or text file, and it can rewrite an existing slide into a layout you choose.
Team plans add custom templates and shared presets, which is where brand consistency comes from. Credits decide your plan, so measure how many a typical deck uses during the trial. If your template is messy, expect messy slides.
