Stay free if you only need 20 monthly credits + 5 daily replenishments and 3 figma exports per day. Upgrade if you need unlimited design generations and maximum processing speed. Most solo builders can start free.
Why it matters: Generated designs still require refinement in Figma for production use — typography, spacing, and brand-specific details need manual polish before shipping to end users.
Available from: Plus
Why it matters: Credit-based system on free and Plus tiers can be limiting for teams iterating heavily; only Pro plan offers unlimited generations, which costs $30-50/month.

Why it matters: Code exports produce functional starting points but lack the optimization and architectural patterns of hand-crafted code — expect to refactor significantly for production applications.
Available from: Plus
Why it matters: No real-time collaborative editing — designs are generated individually and must be exported to Figma for team collaboration, adding friction to multi-designer workflows.

Why it matters: Mobile-native design patterns (bottom sheets, gesture navigation, platform-specific components) are less polished than web and SaaS interfaces, which remain the platform's primary strength.

Figma's AI features assist with tasks within existing designs, such as generating placeholder content or suggesting layout adjustments. Banani UI generates entire multi-screen prototypes from scratch using text descriptions, creating complete user journeys with navigation logic and interactive flows. Think of Figma as the production design environment and Banani as the rapid concept-to-prototype generator — they are complementary tools. Banani's Figma export ensures smooth handoff from initial generation to detailed refinement.
Yes, Banani offers native Figma export with properly structured layer hierarchies, auto-layout preservation, and component grouping. Exported files maintain editable text, vector elements, and responsive containers rather than flattened images. Additionally, Banani exports functional code in React, Vue, HTML/CSS, and Tailwind CSS for development teams. MCP integration also allows direct design data transfer to AI coding agents.
Banani produces high-fidelity prototypes that are excellent for stakeholder presentations, investor demos, and user testing. However, production-ready designs typically require brand-specific refinement in Figma — adjusting typography, fine-tuning spacing, applying exact brand colors, and ensuring accessibility compliance. Banani gets you 70-80% of the way to production quality in seconds; the final polish is best handled in Figma or your preferred design tool.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a 2026 standard that allows AI tools to communicate with each other directly. Banani's MCP integration lets AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Codex receive structured design data — component trees, layout specifications, style tokens, and interaction definitions — directly from generated prototypes. This eliminates the traditional screenshot-based handoff and enables coding agents to produce more accurate implementations. MCP integration is available on Plus tier and above.
Each design generation consumes one credit. The free tier gives you 20 monthly credits plus 5 daily replenishments — sufficient for casual exploration and small projects. The Plus plan at $12/month (annual) provides 100 monthly credits with 10 daily replenishments and adds unlimited Figma exports, code exports, and MCP access. For teams iterating heavily or agencies with high volume, the Pro plan at $30/month (annual) offers unlimited generations. Enterprise plans add SSO, custom model training, and dedicated infrastructure.
