Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 51 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Polymet, taken from its own pages and our grades.
If you need a finished product with its own back office, it is a design tool first.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $20.83 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $25 per month for 1,000 credits (Pro), or $250 billed yearly.
- 3
There is a free plan
500 credits every 30 days, up to 250 a day, with unlimited projects and collaborators. Published apps carry a "Built with Polymet" badge.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Design systems and Figma
Bring your own design system, import Figma files into a project and export designs back to Figma.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 51 of 89
That is against the other AI app builders we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free 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. |
| Features | B | Canvas, 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. |
| Ease of use | C | A 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. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, but it links to Figma, GitHub, Storybook, npm and Claude Code through its MCP server. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Product designers and teams that want working front-end code from a prompt
- Teams with an existing design system or Figma files to build from
- Prototypes that need a shareable live link for stakeholders
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
