Banani vs Google Stitch

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. Banani publishes a starting price ($12); Google Stitch does not. Both have a free tier.

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

Google Stitch

Hard to argue with free: Stitch produces usable first-draft UI screens and working frontend code with a straight path into Figma. It remains a Labs experiment - quotas, no support guarantees, and the standalone Galileo AI product it grew from was already shut down once.

Pros

  • Free, with a real Figma handoff path
  • Multimodal input: text, sketches and screenshots
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro backs the higher-quality mode
  • No install - runs on a Google account in the browser

Cons

  • Monthly generation caps per mode
  • Experiment status means features and limits can change without notice
  • No API for automation

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 Google Stitch if you need

  • Rapid UI concept exploration before committing design time
  • Developers who want plausible frontend scaffolding from a text spec
  • Designers pulling AI drafts into Figma for refinement
