AI Pic2Code vs Alloy

AI Pic2Code is free, self-hosted web software that converts UI screenshots or design images into frontend code. It generates HTML with Tailwind CSS, React JSX with Tailwind, Flutter UI in Dart, and React Native components. Users can drag and drop an image, preview it, and inspect results in a multi-tab code viewer. Color palette extraction, voice input, and dark and light modes are included. The project supports Google Gemini and OpenRouter models, including Claude, GPT-4o, DeepSeek, Grok, and Qwen. It describes a frontend-only architecture: requests go directly from the browser, with no backend, server, or storage. Local setup requires Gemini and OpenRouter API keys in `.env.local`, cloning the repository, installing dependencies with npm, and running it locally. The Free plan costs nothing and requires no sign-up. Figma import, GitHub sync, and ZIP code export are not available; Vue and Angular output are listed as roadmap items.

Alloy is a product prototyping and user-testing platform that can work from a connected codebase or capture pages through a browser extension. With a codebase connected, it can run an app and show changes live in a browser. Teams can make interactive prototypes, share them, run sessions and collaborate. The Free plan includes $5 credits per user per month, unlimited sessions and viewers, and 30+ integrations. Alloy lists Linear, Jira, Slack and Intercom among its integrations. Sessions can be exported, accessed through MCP or turned into GitHub pull requests; teams can also push changes to a pull request and roll them out to customers. The browser extension needs no setup. Connecting a codebase requires admin permissions and about 15 minutes. Free has standard support, Pro has priority support, and Enterprise has 24/7 support. Pro costs $20 per user per month. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes API access, an account manager, custom terms, and SAML + SCIM.
