Tome Shut Down: What to Use Instead
Tome's slides product closed on 30 April 2025. Here's where to go next.
The short answer
Tome's slides product shut down on 30 April 2025, so you can't make new Tome decks. Choose Gamma if you want interactive web decks like Tome's. Choose Canvora if one brief should become a designed deck plus carousels, posts and documents. For plain slides you edit line by line, use PowerPoint or Google Slides. Gamma's paid plans start at about $12/month; Canvora has credit packs from $10 with no subscription.

Tome vs Canvora: common questions
Everything you need to know about choosing between these tools
Is Tome still available?
No. Tome's AI presentation product shut down on 30 April 2025. The founders now build Lightfield, an AI CRM for sales teams, so there is no Tome slides product to sign up for.
What happened to my Tome presentations?
Presentations that weren't exported before the shutdown on 30 April 2025 are no longer accessible. If you exported decks as PDF before then, those files are what you have; you can upload a PDF to Canvora and redesign it as a new deck or other formats.
Why did Tome shut down?
The team pivoted the company away from presentations. After announcing a shift towards sales tools, they discontinued the slides product in April 2025 and relaunched as Lightfield, an AI CRM.
What's the best Tome alternative?
It depends on what you used Tome for. For interactive, web-based decks with embeds, Gamma is the closest match. For designed slide decks plus carousels, posts and documents from the same content, use Canvora. For plain decks you edit line by line, PowerPoint or Google Slides are enough.
How much does Canvora cost compared with Tome?
Tome is no longer sold. Canvora gives you free credits to start, then credit packs from $10 (450 credits, valid 12 months, no watermark, 4K, PDF and PowerPoint export) or monthly plans at $19, $49 and $99. A single visual uses 10 credits; each carousel or deck slide uses 15. Prices checked November 2026.
Is there a free Tome alternative?
Yes. Gamma has a free plan for interactive web decks, Canvora gives you free credits to start for designed decks and other formats, and Google Slides is free for plain decks you edit yourself.
How we compared
We looked at what former Tome users most need now: interactive web decks, designed slide decks, plain editable slides and content for other channels. Tome's status comes from published reports on its shutdown, and everything else from each company's own website in November 2026. Gamma sets prices by country; we quote its US monthly prices, and since those come from recent reviews we say "about".
We make Canvora, so read this with that in mind. We've tried to be fair, and the rows above show where Tome is the better pick.
