Gamma Cost Tuning

Overview

Optimize Gamma API usage to minimize credit consumption. Gamma uses a credit-based billing system where costs are driven by image generation model tier and content complexity. API access requires Pro or higher subscription.

Prerequisites

• Active Gamma Pro/Ultra/Teams/Business subscription
• Understanding of credit system
• Completed gamma-install-auth setup

Gamma Credit System

Image Model Tiers

Tier	Credits per Image	Quality Level
Standard	2-15	Good for internal/draft presentations
Advanced	20-33	Higher quality, more detail
Premium	34-75	Best quality images
Ultra	30-125	Highest fidelity, photorealistic

Card text generation also costs credits based on the AI model used.

Plan Comparison

Feature	Pro	Ultra	Teams	Business
Monthly credits	Included	More credits	Team pool	Custom
API access	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Max cards	Standard	Up to 75	Standard	Custom
Ad-hoc credit purchase	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Auto-recharge	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Instructions

Step 1: Track Credit Usage

// src/gamma/cost-tracker.ts
interface UsageEntry {
  generationId: string;
  creditsUsed: number;
  outputFormat: string;
  timestamp: ;
}

  {
   : [] = [];

  () {
    ..(entry);
  }

  (): { : ; : ; :  } {
     today =  ().();
     todayUsage = ..(
       u..() === today
    );
     total = todayUsage.( sum + u., );
     {
      total,
      : todayUsage.,
      : todayUsage. >  ? .(total / todayUsage.) : ,
    };
  }

  (): { : ; :  } {
     thisMonth =  ().();
     monthUsage = ..(
       u..() === thisMonth
    );
     {
      : monthUsage.( sum + u., ),
      : monthUsage.,
    };
  }
}


 tracker =  ();

  () {
   { generationId } =  gamma.(request);
   result =  (gamma, generationId);

  tracker.({
    generationId,
    : result. ?? ,
    : request. ?? ,
    :  (),
  });

   result;
}
