A Gamma alternative that's cheaper and more private
It also builds beautiful AI slides in seconds — but the AI runs on your own machine (no monthly AI fees), your slides stay yours, and it costs far less. Built for people who make slides often.
Why choose Folveo over Gamma
Same AI speed for making slides — but very different on cost, ownership, and presenting tools.
No monthly AI fees
Gamma is credit-limited. Folveo uses AI right on your machine — a free model or the AI plan you already have.
Your slides, your own
Gamma stores in the cloud. Folveo saves slides right on your machine — private, in your control, no account lock-in.
Clearly cheaper
Folveo Pro starts at just $3.99/month and the free plan is full-featured — much better value for regular users.
Pro presenting tools
Multi-mode pointer, draw on slides, dual-screen Live/Send — a presenting toolkit Gamma doesn't offer.

When is Gamma a better fit?
Folveo isn't for everyone — and that's okay.

Instant web share links
Need to send a view-online link right away without anyone installing an app? That's a web tool's strength.
What Folveo focuses on…
A desktop app, your own files, low cost, and a powerful presenting toolkit — for people who create & present slides often.
Switching from Gamma to Folveo
Folveo uses AI that runs on your own machine (free models or your own subscription) so there are no separate AI fees; your slides stay on your machine, private; presenting is powerful (multi-mode pointer, draw on slides, dual-screen Live/Send); and it's cheaper — from $3.99/month.
No. AI runs right on your machine — use a free model or the AI subscription you already pay for. Folveo doesn't charge AI credits.
There's no direct Gamma import yet. But generating a fresh deck with AI takes only seconds — usually faster than manual conversion.
Folveo is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. Your slides are your own files, with no cloud account required.
