Productivity comparison
Dreamlock vs Gamma
iPhone users who want to capture a dream in seconds at 3 AM - mumble a voice note, Face ID keeps the journal locked, and wake to a written retelling with a painted card and symbol notes. The free tier (unlimited capture, 3 painted cards a week, 10 questions) is enough to decide. Not a fit for Android users (iPhone only), or for anyone who wants their notes to never leave the device - interpretation requires a server round-trip to Anthropic and OpenAI, which the policy states plainly. · AI-generated presentations, decks, microsites, and narrative documents

- The Team and Business plan prices recorded on 2026-08-25 did not render on the 2026-10-01 fetch and were not re-confirmed.
- The official page was captured in its annual-billing state. Monthly individual-plan checkout prices were not independently captured and should not be inferred from the annual discount.
- Gamma's terms grant a broad training license where training controls are unavailable or left enabled; publications should distinguish individual plans from Team/Business plans.
The repository's 400-credit Free allowance remains supported, but those are one-time starter credits rather than a monthly refill. The repository's Plus $10 and Pro $20 figures do not match the current official annual-pricing view, which shows $9 and $18 monthly equivalents. Paid credits roll over only up to twice the monthly allocation; additional credits can be purchased. Individual Free, Plus, Pro, and Ultra workspaces allow Gamma to use content for AI-feature improvement by default, but users can opt out in account settings. Team and Business workspace content is automatically excluded from training, with the control locked. Gamma does not claim ownership of user content. Users grant Gamma a license needed to operate and provide the service. The pricing page also states that content remains the user's after cancellation or downgrade. Public API documentation is available at https://developers.gamma.app/; the pricing page says API access is available on paid plans and consumes AI credits. Approved and wired 2026-09-13: PartnerStack tracking URL on the Visit CTA. Official pricing, docs, privacy, and terms links stay on gamma.app. Editorial score, cons, and methodology are unchanged. Re-verified 2026-10-01: Free, Plus, Pro and Ultra individual prices and credit allocations are unchanged from the 2026-08-25 record. The Team and Business columns did not render, so those figures remain as recorded earlier rather than re-verified. The FAQ still states that paid credits roll over up to 2x the monthly amount and that Free credits are a one-time allocation.
