Polymet

Polymet has potential, but it’s still in beta, meaning bugs, slow performance, and missing features can be frustrating. Figma import/export isn’t available yet (and will require the pricey Pro Plan), and code export is locked behind a paywall.

Try it out

Description

Polymet is an AI-powered design tool that generates UI components, prototypes, and production-ready code from text prompts or images. It aims to bridge the gap between design and development, but since it’s still in beta, some key features—like Figma import/export—aren’t available yet. The tool can be slow and occasionally buggy, and editing options are limited (e.g., text changes must be done via prompts). However, it’s promising for teams looking to speed up early-stage design and code generation.

Best to use for

Polymet is useful for startups, product teams, and developers who need quick UI prototypes with AI-generated code. However, limited editing options and missing Figma integration mean it still requires manual refinement.

Pro & Cons

Pros:

Generates UI layouts and components from text prompts
Free plan available including 250 credits for testing
UI is quiet simple, makes it easy to use for non technical users

Cons:

Still in Beta – Bugs and slow performance are common
Limited Editing Options – e.g. Text must be changed via prompts instead of direct UI edits
Code Export is Paywalled – Only available on paid plans
Figma Import/Export Not Available Yet – Will require Pro Plan ($500/month) once launched
Pricing can get expensive

Pricing

Polymet offers a free plan with 250 credits, but key features like code export are locked behind paid plans. The Basic Plan starts at $50/month (2,000 credits), while the Starter Plan at $100/month offers 5,000 credits. For unlimited credits, full code access, and future Figma import/export, you’ll need the Pro Plan at $500/month—which makes it quite expensive compared to similar tools.
