Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Gamma.
- Free plan limited to 400 non-renewable credits, requiring paid plan quickly
- Credit rollover capped at 2x monthly allocation, forcing month-to-month spending
- Refund window limited to 3 days with usage thresholds restricting claims
- Per-seat pricing on team plans increases costs for large organizations
- Studio Mode limited to Ultra plan, restricting advanced editing to highest tier
