What our research says

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

Visily

Visily is for the person who has to show a screen tomorrow and does not have a designer: screenshot in, editable wireframe out, with enough prototyping and commenting to run a review. It is not a replacement for Figma for anyone shipping polished UI, and the free tier's watermark and two-board cap make it a trial rather than a workspace. At $14 an editor the Pro plan is cheap enough that the credit meter, not the price, is what to watch.

Pros

  • Screenshot, diagram and text to editable screens, plus auto-prototyping
  • Real-time collaboration with comments, cursor chat and follower mode
  • Figma import and export, export to code and an MCP server from the $14 Pro plan
  • Free Starter plan with 300 monthly credits is enough to evaluate the generator

Cons

  • Free exports are watermarked and 1x only, with just two editable boards
  • AI generation is credit-metered, so heavy iteration on Pro's 3,000 credits can run out mid-sprint
  • Business plan is annual-only, and the FAQ admits Business and Enterprise requirements are still being designed
  • No address on the site; only the legal entity and Georgia governing law in the terms

Which one fits

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

Choose Visily if you need

  • Product managers and founders mocking up flows for engineering or investor reviews
  • Teams redrawing a competitor's or legacy screenshot into an editable starting point
  • Non-designers who need clickable prototypes with comments, then a handoff to Figma
