Figma Make vs Quest

Figma Make turns natural-language prompts into interactive wireframes, flows, dashboards and apps. A project can start from scratch or from a frame or component brought in from Figma Design. Users can refine generated work in a visual editor, adjust code in a built-in editor or prompt again. It can create interactive, data-connected prototypes that users can refine and test, using real content or API data through a backend integration. Prototypes can be shared with a team or published publicly. Prompts use AI credits, and the amount depends on the model, task complexity and context volume. Organization and Enterprise members can use vetted partner connectors such as Notion, Asana, Linear, GitHub and Atlassian; Organization members can also connect custom MCP servers subject to organization settings. Figma Make is listed for macOS and web. Its closed beta for using Make in a local codebase is Mac-only and requires the Figma Beta desktop app for Mac. A Professional Full seat is listed at $16 a month, billed monthly, with 3,000 AI credits per month.

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.
