Alternative · as of October 2026
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.

Why people look elsewhere
Three reasons to look beyond Gamma
Each point restates a line of the table below. The numbers link to the vendor pages behind it.
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.
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.
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.
