What our research says

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

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
