| Criterion | Magic Patterns | UX Pilot |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | lower value Free tier; Starter $20 / seat / month Starter is $17 per seat per month billed annually. Business is $100 per seat per month, $85 billed annually. Enterprise is quoted. | Free tier; Pro $22 / month Pro is $264 billed yearly. Teams is $31 per user per month, $372 per user billed yearly. Enterprise is quoted. |
| Free trial | Free plan with free monthly credits | Free plan with 80 daily credits and one project |
| Output | Interactive, code-based UI prototypes, multi-page flows and slide decks | Editable UI screens, wireframes, prototypes and user flows |
| Hosting | Cloud, in the browser; data stored in the United States on AWS | Not stated |
| What it makes | Interactive, code-based prototypes of single screens and multi-page flows with real routes, published to a shareable URL or a custom domain, plus slide decks and MagicOS, an infinite canvas that holds designs, documents and references together | Editable UI screens, low- and high-fidelity wireframes, prototypes, flowcharts and complete user flows |
| AI generation | Generates and edits designs from prompts and screenshots, with Agent Mode, Plan Mode, design variants, forking and merging, a model picker or Auto routing across Claude, Gemini and GPT models, and connectors that pull context from Notion, Linear, Granola and PostHog | Generates designs from a text prompt, a hand sketch, a screenshot, a PDF or an imported PRD, shows four design directions at once, turns wireframes into hi-fi screens, and adds design review and predictive heatmaps |
| Brand, style and templates | Design systems with components, colours, typography, icons, rules and skills, seeded from GitHub, an NPM package, Figma or a website; included from the Starter plan | Trains a custom AI model on an existing design system, imports Figma components, and offers design system sync and a style consistency check |
| Export and handoff | Export to Figma as static layers, download the code as a zip, copy code as a prompt, two-way GitHub sync on paid plans, and an integration skill that teaches Cursor or Claude Code to adapt a design to an existing codebase. Slide decks export as PDF or PowerPoint | Export to Figma with editable layers and auto layout, React, HTML and Tailwind code export, and automatic sync of code to GitHub repositories |
| API | Yes, a v3 REST API to create designs, send prompts, poll status and read files, mirrored endpoint for endpoint by an official MCP server with plugins for Claude, Cursor and Codex. The MCP server needs a paid plan | Custom API access is listed on Enterprise. An official MCP server lets agents such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor import references, run reviews and generate React prototypes |

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works, and a review reaches us as soon as its author confirms it, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Before sending, the author has to confirm three things: that they have used the product themselves, that they work neither for the vendor nor for a competitor, and that nobody is paying them for the review. We also ask whether the vendor invited them to write it. That answer is required, either answer is accepted, and it stays with the review.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. An email address is required and is confirmed: we send a link to it, and a review does not reach us until the author opens that link, so a review has a sender who was reachable at least once rather than being anonymous. Where what somebody writes needs backing, we ask them for evidence that they used the product, and a review that does not get it is not published. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on their own declaration, on whatever we ask them for, and on the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot buy a review, and cannot have one removed or changed because they dislike it. We remove or edit a review only if it breaks our rules or the law, for example a false statement of fact. Paid placement has no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
