- The official page was extracted 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.
$99 USD one-time per profession-specific product, no subscription and no recurring charge. Five products: HR Management, Executive Assistant, Project Management, Real Estate, Recruiting. Free tier: up to eight generations per profession before purchase, with no signup or card. Lifetime access covers future updates to that profession's tool. Terms state that except where required by law all purchases are final and no refunds are offered, with the free trial given as the reason. A stale third-party mirror (devadex.com) still lists a retired pre-launch $59 price; the mirrored store account sonaopusaiworkflow.gumroad.com now returns 404 and the price on every live vendor page is $99.

- The homepage FAQ answer “Nothing stored” contradicts the Privacy Policy, which correctly says workflow inputs are kept in your browser's local storage. The vendor agreed in writing on 2026-09-12 to correct the more absolute wording but the homepage copy still carries it as of 2026-09-13.
- No service address or city/country is published for the seller or data controller; the vendor declined to publish one beyond the Nigeria governing-law clause. The operator name is disclosed.
- The legal-review disclosure for legally sensitive outputs (ER case documents, offer letters, contracts, HR policies) appears inside workflow prompts rather than as a standalone, findable FAQ entry.
- No data-export feature exists for locally stored workflow data; the Privacy Policy states this and directs users to contact support.
- A stale third-party mirror (devadex.com) continues to advertise a retired $59 pre-launch price for the HR product. The mirrored Gumroad account now 404s; the mirror is outside the vendor's direct control.
- Affiliate program terms are advertised at 40% on the vendor site and via Gumroad, but no written program terms (cookie window, attribution, payment terms) were published for review.
Submitted via /submit-tool.html by the vendor on 2026-09-09 and held pending verification. The vendor published /privacy and /terms on 2026-09-12 and answered every outstanding question, so the listing was published 2026-09-13 with remaining caveats recorded in cons and unresolved_claims. Editorial entry written independently; no submission copy was reused. Verified on 2026-09-13: both legal pages live and substantive; all five Gumroad products at $99 with no subscription; shipped JavaScript writes only sonaopus_hr/_ea/_pm/_re/_role to localStorage, makes zero fetch/XHR/sendBeacon calls, and has no third-party script tags; handoff targets claude.ai/new, chatgpt.com/ and gemini.google.com/ carry no query parameters. Operator: Praise Boyinde, sole proprietor, no registered entity, governing law Nigeria. The domain publishes no MX records, so the Gmail address printed in both legal pages is the only reachable contact.
