Starry vs UXPin

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.

UXPin is a design and prototyping platform for creating interactive prototypes with states, logic, conditional flows, variables, and dynamic content. It runs on the web and has UXPin apps for Mac and Windows, plus Mirror apps for iOS and Android. Core includes conditional logic, variables, and expressions, along with built-in coded libraries such as MUI, Tailwind UI, and Ant Design. Teams can share prototypes with unlimited viewers and commenters, and use public or team comments. Integrations include Slack, FullStory, Jira, Storybook, and Git, with a Figma plugin and Sketch import also listed. The Free plan allows two prototypes and 50 AI credits. Core costs $49 a month per seat when billed monthly, or $29 a month per seat billed yearly; Growth costs $69 a month per seat, or $40 a month per seat billed yearly. Core includes 200 monthly AI credits and seven-day version history, while Growth includes 500 monthly credits, 30-day history, roles and permissions, SSO, and 2FA. A 14-day trial is available.
