Key differences

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.

A desktop app, your own files, low cost, and a powerful presenting toolkit — for people who create & present slides often.

Frequently asked questions

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.
