Best for turning Figma designs into HTML or React
Anima turns Figma designs, prompts, images or existing sites into HTML or React code, and it has an MCP server and an API. The free plan is 5 chat messages and 5 code generations a month, and every export, import, clone or MCP call counts against that allowance.
Who Anima is for
- Fits if you have Figma designs and want HTML or React from them
- Works for teams that want the output to follow their own design system
Who Anima is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 5 chat messages and 5 code generations a month
- Watch out: every export, import, clone or MCP call counts as a code generation
- Pricey if you need SSO: it is on Business and above, at $150, with extra seats $49 a month
- Watch out: the pricing page's default view shows yearly prices, and a monthly price was not readable

Keep Anima, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Anima you would be making a tool that builds and hosts other apps. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 39 of the 89 other AI app builders grade higher. It costs $240 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Figma, React and Tailwind CSS among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Anima’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Anima?
Anima generates editable HTML or React apps from a prompt, a Figma file, an image or a cloned website, and works both as a browser playground and a Figma plugin. It also offers an MCP server and an API that other tools and AI agents can call. Plans are limited by chat messages and code generations.
Worth knowing
- The free plan allows only 5 chat messages and 5 code generations.
- Every export, import, clone or MCP call counts as a code generation against the monthly allowance.
- The pricing page shows annual-billing prices in its default view; a monthly-billing price was not readable.
- SSO is on Business and above, and Business seats beyond the base cost $49 a month each.
Key features
- Figma to HTML or React
- Import a Figma design to generate responsive HTML or React, with output in clean CSS, Tailwind or inline styles, and copy changes back into Figma.
- Prompt, image and website cloning
- Start from a prompt, a screenshot or mockup, or import several pages from a live website into one editable app with routes connected.
- Design system and brand context
- Import design system components, match a brand from a URL or use a Design.md file so generated screens stay consistent.
- Database, auth and publishing
- Apps can get a database and authentication, be restored to earlier versions, then be published, exported or handed off.
- MCP server and API
- Anima MCP lets AI coding agents use Figma-to-code and project context; the API, available by request, automates code generation.
