Banani vs Figma Make

Two fact sheets from our own research, side by side — pricing, platforms, API access and status re-checked by us rather than quoted from the vendors.

The short answer

Entry price: Banani from $12/mo, Figma Make from $16/seat/mo — different billing units, so no direct winner
Free plan: Both have one
Higher Trust score: Figma Make — 96 vs 77 for Banani
Best fit: Banani: Getting a first-pass UI in front of stakeholders quickly · Figma Make: Product designers turning existing Figma frames into interactive prototypes with real data
Platforms: Banani: Web · Figma Make: Web, macOS, Windows

From our own records as of each tool's last check. Anything we have not confirmed is left out rather than guessed. How we verify

BananiGenerates editable multi-screen UI designs from a prompt, a reference image or a PRD, and exports to Figma.

What our research says

Banani

Most prompt-to-UI tools hand back a picture; Banani hands back editable screens and a prototype, and the Figma export means the work does not dead-end. The MCP endpoint is a genuinely useful touch when a coding agent is doing the build. The limits are the credit model, twelve a month free with a three-a-day cap, and a vendor that publishes two founder names and nothing else.

Pros

Output is editable screens and a linked prototype rather than a flat image
Accepts prompts, reference images and full PRDs as input
Exports to Figma, HTML/CSS and images, unlimited from the Plus tier
MCP endpoint exposes designs to coding agents directly

Cons

The free tier is 12 credits a month with a 3-a-day cap, which is a demo rather than a workflow
No company name, address or country published
Plus and Pro each show two prices, making the real monthly cost ambiguous at a glance

Figma Make

If your team already designs in Figma, Make is the shortest path from a frame to something clickable with real data, and the generated prototype keeps the file's styles instead of reinventing them. It is not a replacement for Lovable or Bolt when the goal is a deployable product: hosting and a production path are still arriving, and the credit meter is shared with every other AI feature on the seat. Designers validating flows will get the most out of it; engineers wanting a repo to ship will wait for local-codebase mode.

Pros

Starts from your own frames and design tokens, so output matches the design file
Code is exposed and editable, and the result can be copied back to the canvas
Attachments, voice prompts, MCP connectors and a Payload CMS come built in
No separate subscription - it rides on a Full seat you may already pay for

Cons

AI credits are shared across all of Figma's AI features on the seat, so heavy Make use eats the monthly pool
Local-codebase and production shipping are 'coming soon', not here
Requires the $16 Full seat; cheaper Dev and Collab seats are not listed as including it
Pricing page does not state Make access or limits for the free Starter plan

Which one fits

Choose Banani if you need

Getting a first-pass UI in front of stakeholders quickly
Founders without a designer who still need editable screens
Teams whose coding agents can pull designs over MCP

Choose Figma Make if you need

Product designers turning existing Figma frames into interactive prototypes with real data
Teams that want generated UI to inherit their design system through Make kits
Stakeholder demos where a clickable build beats a static mock
