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

Mowgli

The handoff is what makes this worth a look: designs stay in a canvas you can edit, and an MCP server lets a coding agent read them instead of you re-describing the layout in a prompt. Figma import and export means it does not have to be the only tool. Credits are annual rather than monthly, which reads cheaper than it is once you iterate.

Pros

  • Generates full app screens, not just single components or wireframes
  • MCP server and agent skill expose designs to coding agents directly
  • Figma import and export in both directions
  • Free tier with 300 credits and version history included

Cons

  • Starter's headline $12 is annual-billing only, so the real commitment is $144 up front
  • Credit allowances are quoted per year, which makes month-to-month budgeting awkward
  • No company location, entity or founding year published

Which one fits

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

Choose Mowgli if you need

  • Founders and developers who need presentable screens before writing code
  • People pairing a design tool with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor
  • Teams that want to keep Figma but skip the first draft
