The short answer
Pick SendNow if
You already have a deck and need to send it to investors or clients with an email gate, NDA, watermark or data room, and see page-by-page reading. From $6.25/mo.
Pick Gamma if
You need to create the presentation itself, quickly, with AI. Gamma's own guide says it is not a virtual data room.
Price, plan by plan
Each row matches a need with the cheapest plan that covers it on each side. Bars show the cost of one year.
Share a deck and see who viewed it
SendNow costs $105 less a yearGamma's detailed analytics sit on Pro. Gamma showed us local-currency prices, so its USD price here comes from a June 2026 third-party report. Check gamma.app/pricing.
Gate the deck with an NDA
Gamma gives prices on requestSendNow prices are per month, billed yearly. Gamma Plus (about $8/mo billed yearly, reported) removes Gamma branding but does not include detailed analytics.

Where each one wins
Where SendNow is better
Built for confidential sending
Email gates, passwords, NDAs, dynamic watermarks, screenshot blocking and download control. Gamma's plan page does not list these.
Any file, not just Gamma decks
Send your financial model in Excel, your PowerPoint with video, or a PDF term sheet alongside the deck.
Data rooms
Put the deck, model and cap table in one branded room from $12.40/mo.
Where Gamma is better
It makes the deck
Gamma turns a prompt or outline into slides, docs or a website in minutes. SendNow does not create content.
Live, editable decks
A shared Gamma updates when you edit it. With SendNow you upload a new version of the file.
What is Gamma?
Gamma is an AI presentation maker. You describe what you need and it builds slides, documents or simple websites. Pro adds detailed analytics and advanced sharing, custom branding, and up to 10 custom domains.
Gamma's own DocSend-alternatives guide is clear about the limits:
"Gamma isn't a virtual data room and doesn't do e-signatures." (Gamma)
Can I use Gamma and SendNow together?
Yes. Build the deck in Gamma, export it to PDF or PowerPoint, and upload it to SendNow. Share the SendNow link with investors so you can add an NDA or watermark and see every slide they read.
Which is better for sending a deck to investors?
For the sending part, SendNow. Investors often forward decks, and SendNow lets you require an email, block screenshots, watermark each page with the viewer's details and switch the link off later. Gamma's strength is making the deck, not controlling who sees it.
