Polymet review (2026): is the free plan enough?
AI product designer that builds screens as editable React code
Black Friday: is there a Polymet sale?

Best for turning a prompt into front-end screens and prototypes
Polymet turns a prompt into React and Tailwind screens on a canvas, with Figma import and export and a live link to share. But Pro starts at $25 a month for only 1,000 credits, code download and your own domain sit behind it, and it is a browser app only. If you need a finished product with its own back office, it is a design tool first.
Who Polymet is for
- Fits if you want working React screens from a prompt, to hand to developers
- Works for teams that already keep a design system or Figma files
Who Polymet is not for
- Skip it if you want a finished app with logins and payments built for you, as it is aimed at design and front end
- Tight if you stay free: 500 credits a month, 250 a day, and a Polymet badge on anything you publish
- Pricey if you need code download, GitHub export or a custom domain, all Pro at $25 a month for 1,000 credits
- Watch out: Team is $50 for the same 1,000 credits, and there is no phone or desktop app
Why Polymet gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$25 a month for 1,000 credits sits at the top of the $15 to $25 range this category charges, and Team costs $50 for the same credits. The paid plan is what unlocks code download and custom domains.
- CFree plan and trialFree gives 500 credits every 30 days, capped at 250 a day, with unlimited projects. Published apps carry a Built with Polymet badge, and unused free credits do not carry over.
- BFeaturesCanvas, visual and code editors, Figma and GitHub in and out, a design system, a backend and publishing. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job of building front-end screens, though credits run out faster on big builds.
- CEase of useA browser app where the work is describing and shaping the thing you are building. No store rating is on record, so there is nothing to lift it higher.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, but it links to Figma, GitHub, Storybook, npm and Claude Code through its MCP server.

Keep Polymet, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Polymet 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.
It costs $250 a year.
What you could not
- A tool that builds and hosts other apps.
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- It plugs into other products, Figma, GitHub and Storybook among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Polymet’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 Polymet?
Polymet is an AI product designer. You describe a page, component or prototype and its agent builds it as a React and Tailwind app on a canvas, which you can then change by prompting, in a visual editor or in code. It imports from and exports to Figma, can use a team's own design system, and publishes to a live link.
Worth knowing
- Credits are spent by AI model usage per message, so large builds use more than short edits; nothing is billed past zero and generations stop when credits run out.
- Custom domains, code download, GitHub export, removal of the Polymet badge and premium models are Pro-plan features.
- A Keep Alive option at $8 a month keeps a finished project online after a paid plan is cancelled, with 300 credits a month on top of the free 500.
- Unused free credits do not carry over; paid plan credits roll over for 30 days after each renewal. The product is a browser app only.
Key features
- Prompt-built canvas
- The Polymet agent turns a prompt into pages and components on a canvas, as a React and Tailwind app you can click through.
- Visual and code editors
- Tweak layout, spacing and colors visually, select an element and edit it with AI, or open the code editor for direct control.
- Design systems and Figma
- Bring your own design system, import Figma files into a project and export designs back to Figma.
- GitHub and coding agents
- Import from GitHub or a ZIP with two-way sync, export code to a repository, and build in Polymet from Claude Code and other coding agents through its MCP server.
- Backend and publishing
- Projects can add a backend with managed data and secrets, publish to a polymet.app link, and use custom domains on paid plans.
- Team collaboration
- Invite members with Admin and Member roles, work live in the same project, and keep versions and branches.
