RēDesign vs Figma AI: which one a designer needs

Figma AI and RēDesign for designers: AI that works inside Figma, AI redesigns of UI screenshots, pricing and setup, compared from each tool's own sources.

Figma AI is the AI work that happens inside Figma, the design tool a designer opens to make files. RēDesign takes one UI screenshot and sends it to several AI models at the same time, then shows the HTML redesigns the models return in a gallery next to the original ^[1].

The short answer

It sends one UI screenshot to several AI models at once and shows the HTML redesigns in a gallery, lets each model return a different number of variants, and shows two outputs with model names hidden so each pick updates a ranking of the models. ^[1] ^[1] ^[1]

What Figma AI is built for

Figma's agent can add motion to designs, document design systems, and implement feedback. Figma Sites, in beta, publishes fully responsive websites. Whether Figma's AI runs on Windows, macOS or Linux is not stated in the facts here, so check Figma's own pages for the systems it supports.

What RēDesign is built for

RēDesign is made by the team that publishes this site. It is an app that takes one UI screenshot and sends it to several AI models at the same time, then shows the HTML redesigns the models return in a gallery next to the original ^[1]. In one run you can ask each model for a different number of variants ^[1].

It comes with prompt presets such as faithful refresh, bold reimagine and minimalist, and you can also write your own prompts ^[1]. For judging what comes back, it shows two outputs with the model names hidden, and each pick you make updates a ranking of the models ^[1].

For handing the work on, 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 ^[1]. With one click it checks an output's text contrast against WCAG AA using the rendered pixels ^[1]. It shows an estimated cost before you start a run and tracks what each run costs ^[1]. It locates and crops logos, product photos, avatars and illustrations so redesigns can embed the real brand marks ^[1], and it checks each saved redesign against a fixed list of generic AI styling patterns, showing the findings as a badge on the card ^[1].

Pricing and fees

Figma AI's prices come from Figma's page. The Starter plan is free, with limited access to Figma products. A full seat on the Professional plan costs $16 per month plus 3,000 AI credits per month. Figma also lists a full seat at $55 per month, billed annually, with 3,500 AI credits per month, and on the Enterprise plan a full seat at $90 per month, billed annually, with 4,250 AI credits per month.

RēDesign is free; you only pay the AI providers whose API keys you use ^[1]. What those providers charge is not published here. No card fee or payment service is stated for either tool.

Getting started and everyday use

The facts here do not cover how Figma is put on a machine or which systems its AI runs on, so check Figma's own pages for that before choosing.

RēDesign installs directly from a download link on Windows ^[1]. The packaged app runs on Windows only, while the source version works on Windows, macOS, and Linux with Bun 1.2 or newer ^[1]. In daily use, RēDesign sends one screenshot to several AI models and shows the results in a gallery ^[1], and everything in the app can also be done from the command line ^[1]. You can line up several batches, start them together and drag waiting batches to change their order ^[1].

Things to check before you choose

Do you already design in Figma, where the AI works beside your files, or do you send screenshots of finished UI to AI models?
Which AI providers do you want to use? RēDesign runs on API keys you provide, so check what each provider charges and how its keys work.
Do you need several AI models compared side by side, or AI that acts inside your existing Figma file?
Which systems do you use? Ask whether each tool runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Do you want finished HTML with a DESIGN.md handoff for coding agents, or designs that ship through Figma?
Do you need to check text contrast on AI outputs? Ask which tool can check it.
How does each plan treat commercial work? Read the licence and plan terms before you pay.

How to choose

You want one UI screenshot sent to several AI models and the HTML redesigns compared in a gallery: RēDesign ^[1].
You want to judge AI outputs with model names hidden and build a ranking: RēDesign ^[1].

You want prompt presets such as faithful refresh, bold reimagine and minimalist, or your own prompts: RēDesign ^[1].
You want to check an output's text contrast against WCAG AA in one click: RēDesign ^[1].
You want to keep paying only the AI providers you use, with the tool itself free: RēDesign ^[1].
You want an agent that adds motion, documents design systems and implements feedback: Figma AI's agent does this, and it also publishes fully responsive websites through Figma Sites ^[3] ^[3].

Frequently asked questions

Is Figma AI free?

Figma's Starter plan is free, with limited access to Figma products. A full seat on the Professional plan costs $16 per month plus 3,000 AI credits per month. Enterprise is a full seat at $90 per month, billed annually, with 4,250 AI credits per month. Figma also lists a full seat at $55 per month, billed annually, with 3,500 AI credits per month.

How much does RēDesign cost?

RēDesign is free; you only pay the AI providers whose API keys you use ^[1]. Before you start a run it shows an estimated cost and tracks what each run costs ^[1]. Because the tool runs on API keys you supply, the amount you pay each run depends on those providers, and what they charge is not published here.

Does RēDesign turn a UI screenshot into HTML?

Yes. RēDesign takes one UI screenshot and sends it to several AI models at the same time, then shows the HTML redesigns the models return in a gallery next to the original ^[1]. You can ask each model for its own number of variants in one run ^[1], and download a DESIGN.md file for the redesign you pick so a coding agent can rebuild that look ^[1].

Does Figma AI run on Windows, macOS and Linux?

The Figma facts here cover how the AI works and its plans, but they do not state which systems Figma runs on. The packaged app is for Windows only; running from source works on Windows, macOS or Linux with Bun 1.2 or newer ^[1]. For which systems Figma supports, check Figma's own pages before you choose.

Can RēDesign be controlled from the command line?

Yes. Everything in the RēDesign app can also be done from the command line, and an AI agent can control it too ^[1]. It also lets you line up several batches, start them together and drag waiting batches to change their order ^[1].

RēDesign is free; you only pay the AI providers whose API keys you use. ^[1]
