# A Gamma alternative for decks you finish in PowerPoint > Gamma builds a visual deck or web page from a prompt and exports PowerPoint on every plan. If the deck has to land in your own template, come with a Word report or an Excel file, or be built by a tool that excludes AI training by contract, Slaide is the one to test next to it. This page sets the two side by side from vendor pages, with dated sources. - Source: https://ai-presentations.com/alternatives/gamma/ - Updated: 22 October 2026 - Language: English - German version: https://ai-presentations.com/de/alternativen/gamma/ Published by Slaide, one of the tools compared. No tool gets a score. As of: 22 October 2026. Prices are shown in the currency and tax basis of each vendor's page and are not converted. The entry plan may not include every feature in the other columns. ## Three reasons to look beyond Gamma Each point restates a line of the table below. The numbers link to the vendor pages behind it. 1. **A slide master in the exported file.** Gamma's help says the slide master exports blank. Slaide reads the theme fonts, colors and each slide's layout from your .pptx. Sources: [Help: exporting](https://help.gamma.app/en/articles/8022861-what-s-the-easiest-way-to-export-my-gamma), [Help center](https://help.slaide.de). 2. **Word and Excel from the same brief.** Gamma lists no Word export on any plan and does not state Excel output. Slaide builds Word files for A4 pages and Excel workbooks from the same brief as the deck. Sources: [Help: exporting](https://help.gamma.app/en/articles/8022861-what-s-the-easiest-way-to-export-my-gamma), [Help center](https://help.slaide.de). 3. **AI training and hosting.** Gamma opts individual plans in to AI training by default, with an opt-out in Data Controls, and is hosted on AWS in the United States. Slaide stores account data in the EU, sends AI requests to providers in the USA and excludes training by contract.
