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.

The short answer

Free plan: Both — Banani has a free plan, Google Stitch is free to use
Public API: Google Stitch has one; not confirmed by us for Banani
Best fit: Banani: Getting a first-pass UI in front of stakeholders quickly · Google Stitch: Rapid UI concept exploration before committing design time
Trust score: About even — Banani 86, Google Stitch 86
Status: Both up at our last check — Banani Oct 23, 2026, Google Stitch Oct 15, 2026

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 a Delaware registered address and little 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
Only a Delaware registered-agent address is published; no team location or support terms
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, clickable prototypes and frontend code, and since March 2026 coding agents can drive it through an MCP server and SDK. It remains a Labs experiment - usage caps, no support guarantees, and the standalone Galileo AI product it grew from was already shut down once.

Pros

Free, with code export and handoff to AI Studio, Antigravity and Netlify
Multimodal input: text, voice, sketches and screenshots
MCP server and SDK let agents generate screens programmatically
No install - runs on a Google account in the browser

Cons

Usage caps, with no official page listing the numbers
Experiment status means features and limits can change without notice
Output reads like a well-made template and still needs a designer's pass

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
Product teams turning a brief into a clickable prototype for review
