Banani

Banani is an AI UI design tool that turns text prompts, screenshots and Figma links into editable multi-screen prototypes for product managers, founders, designers and indie hackers. Its strength is working from references: drop in a screenshot or a Figma link and it pulls out the visual style and layout, so you can recreate a screen or generate new ones that match. The output is a design you can share, refine and send to Figma or code.

What is Banani used for?

Banani is used for quick interface exploration and prototypes, especially when you know roughly what you want and can point to an example.

• Generating editable, interactive multi-screen prototypes from a plain language description
• Extracting the style and layout from screenshots, images or Figma links to recreate or remix a UI
• Changing the overall feel with prompts like more playful or more minimal, then fine-tuning tokens by hand
• Using agent mode to generate screens that share consistent components
• Sharing projects or single screens by link to collect feedback
• Exporting designs to Figma, HTML and CSS, images or code through MCP

Who Banani is best for

Banani suits product managers who need to show an idea to engineers, founders working without a designer, indie hackers and students learning UI design. Designers can use it to explore directions quickly before polishing in Figma. Teams that need strict use of an existing component library across a large product should look at the enterprise plan, which supports design system import.

Banani pricing

As of October 2026, Banani's free plan includes 12 monthly credits plus 3 daily credits and private projects; a single generation usually costs more than one credit. Plus costs $12 per month billed yearly or $20 month to month and adds agent mode, 100 monthly credits plus 10 daily credits, unlimited Figma export, faster generation and MCP or code export. Pro costs $30 per month billed yearly or $50 monthly and removes the credit cap with unlimited generations and edits, the fastest speed and priority support. Enterprise is priced on request and adds SSO with SAML and SCIM, design system import and custom integrations.

Limitations to keep in mind

• The free credits run out after a handful of generations
• Code export is a design handoff, not a full application with backend logic
• Design system import is limited to the enterprise plan
• Output quality depends a lot on the clarity of the prompt or reference

Banani vs alternatives

v0 by Vercel and Lovable generate working applications, so they are better when you want to deploy rather than design. Onlook is aimed at designers editing real React code visually. Framer AI is the better choice for a marketing website you will publish directly. Banani wins for fast, reference-driven UI prototypes that move cleanly into Figma, and its Pro plan suits heavy users who want a flat price with no credit counting.

Tips for getting started with Banani

Start with a reference screenshot of an app whose style you like, then describe the screens you need, which gives more consistent results than text alone. Use agent mode for multi-screen flows so buttons, cards and navigation match across screens. Adjust colors and typography tokens manually once the layout is right instead of spending credits on small visual tweaks. If you hit the free limit in a day, wait for the daily top-up before upgrading to test a few more ideas.
