The page says Locofy generates code on the fly and does not store any code ^[2], and it does not use customer data for training ^[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 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 the designer's machine against a fixed list of generic AI styling patterns and shows the findings as a badge on the card ^[3]. A designer can download a whole run as a zip, or download a DESIGN.md file for the redesign picked so a coding agent can rebuild that look ^[3]. It shows an estimated cost before a run starts and tracks what each run costs ^[3].

Pricing and fees

Figma AI's page lists a Starter plan that is free, with limited access to Figma products ^[4]. A full seat on the Professional plan costs $16 per month plus 3,000 AI credits per month ^[4]. A full seat costs $55 per month, billed annually, with 3,500 AI credits per month; the source does not name which plan this seat belongs to ^[4]. On the Enterprise plan, a full seat costs $90 per month, billed annually, with 4,250 AI credits per month ^[4]. The Full seat includes full access to all Figma products, including Figma Design, Figma Make, Figma Draw, Figma Sites, Dev Mode, FigJam, Figma Slides and Figma Buzz ^[4]. Figma lets anyone invite as many people as they want to view, comment, inspect, or export files for free ^[4].

Locofy's page lists a Hobby plan at $40 per month, billed monthly, for light use and hobby projects ^[5]. The Pro plan costs $80 per month, billed monthly, for pro developers and designers ^[5], and it includes a free UIPro Pro account ^[5].

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

Getting started and everyday use

Figma says teammates and AI agents work in the same space with shared context ^[1]. Figma's agent can add motion to designs, document design systems, and implement feedback ^[1]. Figma Sites (Beta) publishes fully responsive websites ^[1]. A designer can invite as many people as they want to view, comment, inspect, or export files for free ^[4].

A designer imports their own design system and custom components from the CLI and GitHub ^[2]. Generated code can be obtained as a VS Code export, through GitHub, or as a plain zip ^[2]. Locofy generates code on the fly and does not store any code ^[2].

RēDesign's packaged app is for Windows only; running from source works on Windows, macOS or Linux with Bun, a programming tool that must be installed first ^[3]. On Windows a designer downloads redesign-windows-x64.exe from GitHub Releases ^[3]. In daily use a designer lines up several batches, starts them together, and drags waiting batches to change their order ^[3]. It works out which provider each pasted access key belongs to (an access key is the code an AI service gives you to use its models) and rotates through several keys per provider, pausing keys that keep failing ^[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 framework does your project use? Locofy lists React, React Native, HTML-CSS, Flutter, Next.js, Angular, Vue, and Gatsby ^[2]. Check that yours is covered.
Do you need to design and build inside one tool, or convert an existing design? Figma AI says design context, codebase, and agents stay connected ^[1], while Locofy takes a finished design and converts it to code ^[2].
How important is data privacy? Locofy says it does not use customer data for training ^[2] and does not store code ^[2]. Check Figma AI's terms for how design files and AI credits work.
Do you need your own design system in the output? Locofy lets you import a design system and custom components from the CLI and GitHub ^[2]. Check that your workflow fits.
What will it cost at your usage level? Figma AI charges per seat plus AI credits ^[4], Locofy charges per month per plan ^[5], and RēDesign is free but you pay the AI providers directly ^[3].
Which systems do you work on? Check each tool's current platform support before installing.
