Banani vs Starry

Banani is a web app that generates editable, multi-screen mobile and desktop UI designs from an idea, image, or product requirements document. Users can refine designs with text prompts or the editor, add brand assets such as logos and colors, and connect screens into interactive prototypes for presentation or user testing. Real-time collaboration is listed. Exports include Figma, HTML/CSS, and images. Plus and Pro include unlimited Figma exports as editable layers with auto layout intact, as well as MCP/Code export; the FAQ identifies the code export as HTML/CSS. MCP access is included on all plans and connects designs to AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. The Free plan includes 12 monthly and 3 daily credits. Plus costs $12 a month billed yearly, with the page also showing $20; Pro costs $30 a month billed yearly, with the page also showing $50. When credits run out, new AI generations pause until they refill or the billing cycle resets, while existing projects remain accessible. Banani was founded in 2024.

Starry is an AI design editor that turns natural-language prompts into editable interface layers and exports code and design assets. Its canvas AI, powered by ACP, can create and modify auto-layout designs. Export formats include React JSX, HTML, SVG, design tokens, PNG, JPG, and WEBP. Starry reads native Figma.fig files and supports copying and pasting selections between the two editors. Users provide their own key for supported AI providers, and can use custom OpenAI- or Anthropic-format endpoints. Starry says keys are stored locally and prompts go directly to the selected provider. Designs are saved as local.pen and.fig files that can be committed to Git. Peer-to-peer collaboration runs over WebRTC without a server or account, and a headless CLI can export documents and automate design operations, including in CI workflows. Starry supports macOS 12 or later, Windows 10 or later, and Linux, with about 150 MB of free disk space required. The free plan requires users to supply an AI provider key for AI chat; Pro is listed at $29 a month.
