The honest brief
Flowstep
Carries a prompt through to hand-editable screens, Figma handoff, and shippable code — not just a throwaway prototype mockup.
- Prompt-to-UI in seconds
- Exports React/TypeScript/Tailwind code
- Figma handoff
- Free tier to start
- Generated code may need refactoring
- Newer, smaller tool
- Best for kickoff, not full builds
Subframe
Outputs deterministic production React/Tailwind from real components — what you design is the code you ship — and exposes designs to agents via MCP.
- Build from real coded components
- Exports clean React + Tailwind
- MCP hooks into Cursor/Claude Code
- Figma sync + auto design system
- Generous free tier
- Scoped to the React + Tailwind stack
- Pro is per-editor ($29/mo)
- Smaller community than Figma
