Prices change, so confirm with Anima before buying. ## Ways to pay less - **20% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page marks annual billing as 20% off; the Starter, Pro and Business prices shown are the annual-billing rates. Source: https://www.animaapp.com/pricing ## 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. ## Good for - Designers and front-end developers converting Figma files into code - Teams that want AI-built pages kept on-brand - Builders who want to clone an existing site as a starting point ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: C.** Starter is $20 per seat a month on yearly billing, the category's middle. Pro is $40, Business $150. - **Free plan and trial: C.** Free is 5 chat messages a month, 5 code generations and 1 workspace, a cap you will hit in a day. - **Features: C.** Figma to HTML or React, cloning, design-system context, a database and publishing, and MCP and API. Every export, import or MCP call spends a code generation. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you set up design systems and settings yourself. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with six integrations listed, an MCP server and an API. No desktop or phone app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Anima's own pages on 13 November 2026.

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. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A tool that builds and hosts other apps. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Figma, React and Tailwind CSS among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with Figma, React, Tailwind CSS, Bolt, Replit, Claude **Tags:** App builder, AI features, Public API, Templates ## Alternatives - [Locofy](https://toolgpa.com/tools/locofy): Converts Figma, Penpot and Adobe XD designs into front-end code.
