The short answer

Builder.io is a platform whose AI assistant, Visual Copilot, converts Figma designs to production-ready code and generates on-brand experiences using a team's design system, components and backend integrations ^[4] ^[4]. Visily is a wireframing tool built for non-designers that generates wireframes from text descriptions, converts diagrams into UI screens and edits designs through AI chat ^[2] ^[2]. Builder.io's sources say it meets the need of turning Figma designs into code and generating production-ready experiences from prompts ^[4] ^[4]. Visily's sources say it meets the need of creating wireframes for mobile and web without a design background ^[2] ^[2]. RēDesign sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at once and shows the HTML redesigns they return in a gallery next to the original ^[3].

What Builder.io and Visily are built for

Builder.io says its AI assistant, Visual Copilot, can convert Figma designs to production-ready code ^[4]. Builder.io says Visual Copilot generates on-brand, production-ready experiences ^[4]. It uses design systems, components, design patterns and backend integrations to turn prompts into production-ready experiences ^[4]. Visily was built for non-designers ^[2]. Its AI features can generate wireframes from text descriptions, convert diagrams into UI screens and edit designs using AI chat ^[2]. It supports wireframing for both mobile and web platforms ^[2]. For team collaboration, it includes real-time commenting, shared libraries and follower mode ^[2]. Anyone can view publicly shared projects and boards without a Visily account, while commenting and editing require a logged-in account ^[5].

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 you 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 you can also write your own prompts ^[3].

It shows two outputs with the model names hidden, and each pick you make 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]. It checks each saved redesign on your machine against a fixed list of generic AI styling patterns and shows the findings as a badge on the card ^[3]. You can download a whole run as a zip, or download a DESIGN.md file for the redesign you picked so a coding agent can rebuild that look ^[3].

Pricing and fees

Builder.io's Pro plan costs $24 per user per month ^[1]. Its Team plan costs $40 per user per month ^[1]. Its Enterprise plan has custom pricing ^[1]. The Pro and Team plans include one seat ^[1]. Builder.io sells additional AI credits in increments of 500 monthly AI credits for $25 per month ^[1].

Visily offers a free option to get started ^[2]. Its Starter plan includes 300 AI credits per month ^[5]. Its Pro plan costs $14 per editor per month and includes 3,000 AI credits per month, Figma export and import, and export to code ^[5]. Visily offers a special first-month offer of 30,000 credits, normally 10,000 ^[5]. Visily says it handles education and non-profit discounts individually on a case-by-case basis ^[5].

RēDesign is free; you only pay the AI providers whose API keys you use ^[3]. No card fee or payment service is stated for any of the three tools.

Getting started and everyday use

Builder.io's Pro and Team plans include one seat ^[1]. From a Figma design, Visual Copilot converts it to production-ready code ^[4], and prompts turn into production-ready experiences that use the team's own design system, components and backend integrations ^[4].

Visily offers a free option with a sign-up link on the page ^[2]. In daily use, you can generate wireframes from text descriptions, convert diagrams into UI screens and edit designs using AI chat ^[2]. It supports wireframing for both mobile and web platforms ^[2]. Team members can comment in real time, share libraries and follow each other ^[2]. Publicly shared projects and boards can be viewed without an account ^[5].

RēDesign is free to run; you paste your own API keys for the AI providers and pay them directly ^[3]. It works out which provider each pasted key belongs to and rotates through several keys per provider, pausing keys that keep failing ^[3]. It shows an estimated cost before you start a run and tracks what each run costs ^[3]. You can line up several batches, start them together and drag waiting batches to change their order ^[3]. 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 you download the installer from GitHub Releases ^[3]. Everything in the app can also be done from the command line, and an AI agent can control it too ^[3].

Things to check before you choose

Which systems do you work on? Check whether each tool runs where you need it to, including Windows, macOS and Linux. RēDesign's packaged app is Windows only, so check whether running from source on macOS or Linux suits your setup ^[3].
Do you have an existing design system with code components? Check whether Builder.io's Visual Copilot supports the frameworks and component libraries your team already uses ^[4] ^[4].
Do you need Figma export or import? Visily's Pro plan lists Figma export and import ^[5]. Check whether Builder.io's Figma-to-code flow covers the Figma files you work with ^[4].
How many AI credits will you use each month? Builder.io sells 500 monthly AI credits for $25 ^[1], and Visily's Starter plan includes 300 AI credits per month ^[5]. RēDesign charges nothing itself, but you pay the AI providers directly ^[3].
Will you use the tool for paid client work? Check each tool's terms for commercial use.
Do you need code export from wireframes? Visily's Pro plan lists export to code ^[5]. Builder.io says it generates production-ready code ^[4]. Check which output format matches what your developers expect.
