Review access and pricing

API access requirements, credit-based pricing, and plan details.

Quick reference

• ChatGPT and Claude connectors work on all plans.

• API keys are available on Pro, Ultra, Teams, and Business plans.

• Credit usage is returned in the credits field on GET /v1.0/generations/{generationId}.

• Auto-recharge is the safest way to prevent failed generations due to exhausted credits.

Connectors (ChatGPT, Claude)

Connectors are available on all plans, including Free and Plus. No API key required — connect directly from ChatGPT or Claude and authenticate with your Gamma account. Generations via connectors charge credits the same way as API calls.

Usage and pricing

• API billing uses a credit-based system. Higher tier subscribers receive more monthly credits.

• If you run out of credits, you can upgrade to a higher subscription tier, purchase credits ad hoc, or enable auto-recharge (recommended) at Settings > Billing.

How credits work

Credit charges are determined based on several factors and are returned in the GET response.

Feature	API parameter	Credits Charged*
Number of cards	numCards	1-3 credits/card (varies by the text generation model Gamma selects internally)
AI image model	imageOptions.model	Standard: 2-15 credits/image. Advanced: 20-33 credits/image. Premium: 34-75 credits/image. Ultra: 30-125 credits/image.

* Credit consumption rates and the actions that consume credits are subject to change.

Template-based generations (POST /generations/from-template) may cost slightly more per card than standard generations.

Illustrative scenarios

• Deck with 10 cards + 5 images using a basic image model = ~20-60 credits

• Doc with 20 cards + 15 images using a premium image model = ~320-1070 credits

• Socials with 30 cards + 30 images using an ultra image model = ~930-3900 credits

Both standard generations (POST /generations) and template-based generations (POST /generations/from-template) consume credits. Credit usage details are returned in the credits field of the GET /generations/{generationId} response, showing deducted and remaining values.
