DraftScreens vs Banani: which AI app designer fits you?

Text to clickable prototype, fast, with unlimited-credit plans. DraftScreens is an AI designer that only does mobile screens, in one design language per project, with a visual editor, a clickable prototype and exports to Figma and code. Here is how they compare, including when Banani wins.

The short version

Banani is quick and unlimited. DraftScreens is slower to pick a look and much more deliberate about it: one design language per project, a visual editor, brand ingestion and exports that land in Figma and code.

Which one to choose

Choose Banani if

Pick Banani if you iterate by volume, want unlimited credits, and a prototype matters more than the design.

Best for: Founders who want a clickable prototype in minutes and do not want to count credits.

Choose DraftScreens if

The product is a mobile app, the screens have to look designed rather than generated, you want to tap through it on a phone before writing code, and you want Figma layers and a hand-off that a coding tool can build from.

Banani: strengths and gaps

What Banani does well

  • Fastest prompt-to-clickable-prototype loop
  • Agent mode and style transfer from Figma references
  • Unlimited credits on Pro

Where it falls short

  • Pre-seed scale; small team, small roadmap
  • Exports are locked behind paid plans
  • Generic web-style output on mobile
  • No design-system ingestion or visual editor depth

What DraftScreens does differently

Mobile only, on purpose

Every screen is a 390x844 phone screen. The generator is prompted like a senior mobile designer, never like a web page builder.

One design language per project

A flow is planned first: palette, type, radius, spacing. Every screen and every edit is held to it, so screens do not drift.

Edit anything, or ask

Select any element and change text, colour, spacing, layout or its tap link; or select it and tell the AI what to change.

Your brand, every screen

Studio plans ingest a design system: palette roles, fonts, voice, rules and logo drive the planner and every screen.

A prototype, not a picture

Buttons, tabs and rows carry links. Preview in the studio or scan a QR and tap through on your phone.

Exports that survive the move

Editable Figma layers, HTML per screen, a prompt pack for Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable and v0. Failed generations are never charged.
