Alloy vs Quest

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.

Quest turns Figma designs, wireframes or templates into frontend UI and React code, which can be downloaded as individual components or as a complete application. The output can be added to an existing React app or used to build an app, and users can add props and bindings to connect an interface to a backend. Updated designs can be exported again to regenerate code components. The Figma plugin is installed through Figma Community and opened from Figma Desktop’s Plugins menu. Quest supports custom components, its own Design Kit, MUI Design Kit with MUI v5 or later, and Chakra UI Design Kit. A page can combine one to five frames or device views for responsive designs. Quest requires React 17.0.0 or later. A free account provides access to basically all features and one code download to try the product. Google Fonts are supported, but custom fonts do not automatically transfer from Figma. In some cases, Quest cannot retrieve element rotation from Figma, so rotated elements may need adjustment in Quest or Figma.
