What our tests found
Figma Make
Our T1 todo prompt gave a working preview in about 3-4.5 minutes, after a transient 'Live preview failed' message that resolved itself. Add, complete, delete, All/Active/Done filters and reload persistence all passed with no fixes. Credit use per build was not shown in the editor. Single run, not 3.cloud free plan
- Every T1 check passed with no fixes and nothing we didn't ask for
- Free Starter plan includes 500 AI credits per month
- Signup needed no phone number
- Slow: about 3-4.5 minutes to a working preview
- A 'Live preview failed' message appeared during generation, though it resolved itself
- The editor didn't show how many credits the build used
- Starter users can publish to the public web only if they also publish to the Figma Community
Who it’s for: Designers already in Figma who want to turn ideas into working prototypes or simple apps.
Builder.io
Our T1 todo prompt took about 12-13 minutes to a working preview, partly because of a blank loading screen that needed reopening. Add, complete, delete, filters and reload all passed, but it stored todos in its own database instead of localStorage as the spec asked. The in-editor preview went stale and Builder said it hadn't tested its own work. Single run, not 3.cloud free plan
- Every todo feature worked in the full preview
- Asked a clarifying question about login instead of guessing
- Free publish to a *.builder.cloud subdomain, 15 publishes per month
- Slow: about 12-13 minutes to a working preview, including a blank loading screen
- Stored todos in its own database instead of localStorage as asked
- In-editor preview went stale and the prompt box was flaky
- Signup failed silently with our email; it needed a business-domain address
Who it’s for: Teams already using Builder.io's visual CMS who want AI-built pages and apps tied to their design system.
