Which one is for you
Pick Magic Patterns if
- Fits if you need clickable screens to show a team before building
- Makes sense if you work in Figma and GitHub already
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a deployed app: it makes prototypes
- Tight if you stay free: the allowance is small and the page doesn't say how small
- Pricey if the team grows: prices are per seat, and Business is $85
- Watch out: SSO and usage reporting need Business, and unused credits roll over only once
Pick Uizard if
- Fits if you want quick app mockups without drawing every screen
- Works for founders sketching screens before hiring a developer
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 2 projects, 5 screens and 3 generations a month
- Not for you if you want a deployed app, since you get designs and handoff code
- Watch out: handoff, private projects and Autodesigner 2.0 start at Pro
- Watch out: only annual prices are shown, and SSO needs Enterprise

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
