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.
Gamma
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.

The Noun Project
Icons on a licence that never expires
The Noun Project sells icons and photos on a royalty-free worldwide licence that the page says never expires, which is the part that matters for work shipped once and left alone for years. Contributors are paid from subscriptions, and the library is moderated rather than open, so quality is more even than an open marketplace. Plugins for Figma, Adobe and Office plus a Mac application mean an icon can be dropped in without a download step. A single icon can be bought outright for those who need one thing and not a subscription.
