The short answer

Builder.io converts Figma designs into production-ready code using Visual Copilot. [1] It uses frameworks, syntax, design tokens and code components from the designer's setup. [1] Locofy converts designs into developer-friendly code for React, React Native, HTML-CSS, Flutter, Next.js, Angular, Vue and Gatsby. [2] It provides a plugin for Figma, Penpot and Adobe XD to tag interactive elements before export. [2] RēDesign sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original. [3] Builder.io's sources say it meets the need of using design systems, components, design patterns and backend integrations to turn prompts into production-ready experiences. [1] Locofy's sources say it meets the need of exporting designs as code in many frameworks. [2] RēDesign's claims say it meets the need of comparing redesign outputs from several models side by side.

What Builder.io, Locofy is built for

Builder.io's page says Visual Copilot converts Figma designs to production-ready code. [1] It says Visual Copilot imports code components and matches frameworks and syntax. [1] It says Visual Copilot uses design systems, components, design patterns and backend integrations to turn prompts into production-ready experiences. [1] It also says Visual Copilot can generate A/B test variations and translate content. [1]

Locofy's page says it converts designs into developer-friendly code for React, React Native, HTML-CSS, Flutter, Next.js, Angular, Vue and Gatsby. [2] It provides a plugin for Figma, Penpot and Adobe XD to tag interactive elements. [2] Locofy can import a user's own design system and custom components from the CLI and GitHub. [2] The page says Locofy supports Material UI, Bootstrap, Ant Design, Chakra and more. [2] Generated code can be obtained as a VS Code export, through GitHub, or as a plain zip. [2]

What RēDesign is built for

RēDesign is made by the team that publishes this site. It sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at the same time and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original. [3] In one run a designer can ask each model for a different number of variants. [3] It comes with prompt presets such as faithful refresh, bold reimagine and minimalist, and a designer can also write their own prompts. [3]

It shows two outputs with the model names hidden, and each pick a designer makes updates a ranking of the models. [3] With one click it checks an output's text contrast against WCAG AA, using the rendered pixels. [3] It locates and crops logos, product photos, avatars and illustrations so redesigns can embed the real brand marks. [3] A designer can download a whole run as a zip, or download a DESIGN.md file for the redesign they picked so a coding agent can rebuild that look. [3] Everything in the app can also be done from the command line, and an AI agent can control it too. [3]

Pricing and fees

Builder.io's Pro plan costs $24 per user per month and its Team plan costs $40 per user per month. [4] [4] Additional Agent credits cost $25 per month for increments of 500 monthly AI credits. [4]

Locofy's Hobby plan costs $40 per month billed monthly, and its Pro plan costs $80 per month billed monthly. [5] [5] The page says the Pro plan includes a free UIPro Pro account. [5]

RēDesign is free; a designer only pays the AI providers whose API keys they use. [3] RēDesign shows an estimated cost before a run starts and tracks what each run costs. [3]

Getting started and everyday use

Builder.io's page says Visual Copilot imports code components and matches frameworks and syntax. [1] It converts Figma designs to production-ready code. [1] The page does not give install steps.

Locofy's page says a designer uses a plugin for Figma, Penpot or Adobe XD to tag interactive elements. [2] A designer can import their own design system and custom components from the CLI and GitHub.

The packaged app is for Windows only; running from source works on Windows, macOS or Linux with Bun 1.2 or newer. [3] On Windows a designer downloads redesign-windows-x64.exe from GitHub Releases. [3] In daily use a designer can line up several batches, start them together and drag waiting batches to change their order. [3] It works out which provider each pasted API key belongs to and rotates through several keys per provider, pausing keys that keep failing. [3]

Things to check before you choose

Which design tool do you start from? Check that each tool has a plugin or import path for the design app already in use.

Which output format does the project need? Check that each tool supports the workflow and framework required.

Do you need your own design system and components included? Check how each tool says it handles them.

Will AI costs need tracking before runs start? Check what each tool publishes about fees or cost information.

Do you need to compare outputs from different AI models? Check whether the tool says it supports that.
