Top 3
evidence / 100
+ Simple, widely used, and works with GPT, Claude, or Gemini vision models you supply.
− Produces one-off static code with no design-system awareness.
+ Mitosis-based output targets React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, and more from one design.
− Best results require Builder's design-system mapping setup first.
+ Runs npm, dev servers, and builds entirely in the browser so nothing is installed.
− Token-metered pricing burns through the monthly allowance on larger projects.

A free tier counts, and so does an open-source licence you can self-host — both are in the table, so a tool that is only free for a trial is not here.
