Both cover design & graphics. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Decks, docs and sites generated from a prompt
Gamma turns a prompt or a pasted document into a deck, a page or a small website, then lets you edit the result the way you would edit a document rather than by dragging boxes around a slide. Everything it makes is responsive, so the same file reads properly on a phone. Credits meter the generation and the free plan starts you with four hundred of them. Export goes out to PDF, PowerPoint and Google Slides.
Our note
Gamma is the fastest route from a rough idea to something presentable, and the credit system is the thing to watch rather than the seat price. Canva does more if you want to art-direct the result; this wins when the deck is a means to an end.
Only on this side
Free vector drawing that writes plain SVG
Inkscape draws vector artwork and saves it as ordinary SVG rather than a format only it can read, which is what makes a logo drawn here openable in a browser, a build pipeline or somebody else's editor years later. It covers illustration, clip art, typography and diagramming on Linux, Windows and macOS. There is no account, no seat count and no upload step. The interface has its own habits and will feel strange to anybody arriving from a commercial editor, which is the real cost of it being free.

Our note
Reach for this over a paid editor when the output is going into code, because it writes SVG a browser will render rather than SVG exported from a proprietary format. Buy Affinity Designer instead if you want the same freedom from subscriptions with an interface that will not cost you a week.
