Gamma creates structured slide decks optimised for presenting in front of an audience or sharing as a business document, with more templates and customisation. For investor pitches, client decks, and team presentations shown in a conference room, Gamma is the more practical choice.

Feature Comparison

Pick Tome
You need a shareable document that tells a story and embeds rich media - Loom videos, Figma files, maps, Twitter embeds. Tome scrollable format works well as a visual proposal, case study, or pitch document shared as a link. Better for async sharing where the reader scrolls at their own pace rather than being shown slides.
Try Tome →Pick Gamma
You need a deck to present live in a meeting room, share as a PDF, or use in a standard business context. Gamma produces slide-format presentations with speaker notes, full-screen mode, and 100+ templates. The output looks professional in a presentation room and exports cleanly to standard formats.

Can Tome be used for investor pitches?
Tome can be used for investor pitches shared as a URL for async review, where the scrollable narrative format can be compelling. For live pitch meetings where the founder is presenting slides in a room, Gamma or traditional presentation software is more appropriate because Tome is not designed for linear live presentation.
Which is better for school or education?
Gamma is generally better for educational presentations - it generates structured slides that work in classroom settings and exports to standard formats that teachers and students use. Tome is more specialised for professional storytelling documents and may feel over-designed for simple school presentations.
Does Gamma have a free plan?
Yes. Gamma free tier includes 400 AI credits, which generates roughly 2-4 presentations depending on length and complexity. After credits are exhausted, you can still use the editor manually without AI. Paid plans start at approximately $10/month for unlimited AI generations. Tome also has a free tier with limited AI credits.
Can either tool import from PowerPoint?
Gamma supports importing existing PowerPoint files and converting them to Gamma format, which is a meaningful advantage for teams transitioning from traditional slide tools. Tome does not have an equivalent import from PowerPoint. If you have an existing deck library, Gamma is the more practical migration path.
