Based on our analysis of 500+ sales teams, Gamma leads for AEs at $8-10/month[1]. It generates entire sales decks from prompts in under 60 seconds and exports to formats prospects actually open. Beautiful.ai ranks second at $12/month for teams prioritizing automatic design polish.
But here's what matters more: 89% of prospects never tell you which slides they actually viewed. ShareDoc solves this by adding instant tracking to any deck—showing you exactly who's engaging and when they're ready to buy.
Why do top AEs combine deck tools with tracking?
You build in Gamma or Beautiful.ai
Create your deck using AI-powered tools that generate slides 10x faster than PowerPoint. Export as PDF when ready.
ShareDoc adds the intelligence layer
Upload your PDF and get a trackable link in 30 seconds. See who opened it, which pages they studied, and when they share internally.
You follow up at the perfect moment
Get alerts when prospects spend 5+ minutes on pricing. Know when the CFO views your ROI slide. Time your outreach when interest peaks.
Close deals 3x faster
AEs using deck tracking report 42% higher close rates because they know exactly when and how to engage based on real buyer behavior.
Which deck tools do enterprise AEs actually use?
After surveying 200+ Account Executives, here are the top 7 tools ranked by adoption and effectiveness:
- 1. Gamma ($8-10/mo) - AI generates complete decks from prompts[3]. Best for AEs who need speed.
- 2. Beautiful.ai ($12/mo) - Auto-designs slides as you type[4]. Perfect for non-designers.
- 3. Canva Magic Design (~$15/mo) - Massive template library with AI assistance. Great for visual variety.

What features should AEs prioritize in 2026?
Do these tools have AI that actually saves time?
Top tools now generate entire decks from prompts[2], not just individual slides. Gamma and Beautiful.ai lead here—turning a sales brief into 15 polished slides in under 2 minutes. This matters when you're customizing decks for 20+ prospects weekly.
Can I see who's actually looking at my deck?
Most deck builders stop at creation. That's why AEs add ShareDoc—it shows you exactly which stakeholders viewed your deck, what pages they studied, and when they forwarded it internally. This intel changes everything about follow-up timing.
Will it work with my existing sales stack?
PowerPoint remains king for enterprise compatibility, but modern tools export to all formats. The real integration gap? Tracking data. ShareDoc fills this by working with any PDF, regardless of where you built it.
How much should I budget for deck tools?
Expect $8-30/month per user for creation tools. But consider this: AEs using deck tracking alongside creation tools report 3x higher engagement rates. ShareDoc is free for all features—you only pay $29/mo if you're sending 50+ tracked decks monthly.
What happens when you add tracking to your sales decks?
Sarah, an enterprise AE, builds her decks in Gamma. After sending to a Fortune 500 prospect, she typically waits 3-5 days before following up. Half the time, she learns they never opened it. The other half? Radio silence about what resonated.
Now she uploads that same Gamma PDF to ShareDoc before sending. Within hours, she sees the VP spent 8 minutes on the ROI slide and forwarded it to the CFO. The CFO opened it twice, focusing on implementation timelines. Sarah calls exactly when interest peaks, addressing their specific concerns.
Result: Her average deal cycle dropped from 67 to 31 days. Not because her decks got prettier—but because she finally knew what prospects actually cared about.
