The honest brief
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
v0
Emits real shadcn/ui + Tailwind React code you can paste into a project — production primitives, not throwaway mockup markup.
- Uses production shadcn/ui primitives
- Copy-paste into existing projects
- Tight Vercel deploy integration
- Fast iteration in v0 projects
- Opinionated toward shadcn/Tailwind
- Single tuned model, not configurable
- Best within the Vercel ecosystem
- Complex apps need hand-finishing
