Canva vs Gamma
Two tools coaches often weigh against each other, compared on the same terms.
Canva
Template-driven design that lets a coach produce decent Instagram posts, PDFs and slide decks without hiring anyone or learning design software.
Gamma
Generates a presentation, one-page offer or simple website from a prompt or outline — a workshop deck in minutes rather than an evening.
Pricing
Canva: Substantial free tier; Pro adds brand kit, resize and premium assets
Gamma: Free credits to start; paid plans add more AI generation and remove branding

What it is
Canva
A browser design tool built on templates. Pick a layout, replace the text and photos, export. The Pro tier adds a brand kit so every asset uses your colours and fonts without you remembering the hex codes.
Gamma
An AI tool that turns an outline, notes or a document into a designed deck, document or web page. You edit the result like a card-based doc rather than a slide editor.
Best for
Canva
Everything visual a solo coach needs: carousel posts, a client welcome pack PDF, a workshop deck, a printable habit tracker.
Gamma
Workshop slides, a programme overview for a discovery call, a quick landing page for a new offer. The first draft is good enough that you mostly edit words.
Watch out for
Canva
Templates are used by everyone, so a Canva-default post looks like a Canva-default post. Set a brand kit and change the fonts, or your marketing is indistinguishable from every other coach's.
Gamma
The layouts are recognisably Gamma. Set your own theme and fonts early, and rewrite the generated copy — it defaults to generic marketing voice.
Editorial comparison — nothing here is paid placement. Pricing changes often; treat the vendor’s own page as the truth. How we review
