The short version
Polymet is a solid web design-to-code tool. For mobile it concedes the point; DraftScreens is built only for phone screens, in a committed design language, with a prototype and exports to Figma and coding tools at an indie price.

Which one to choose
Choose Polymet if
Pick Polymet for web products where React plus shadcn is the target and a design system already exists.
Best for: Web product teams who want React, Tailwind and shadcn output with design-system support.
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.
Polymet: strengths and gaps
What Polymet does well
- Figma import and export
- Design-system support
- Clean React, Tailwind and shadcn code
Where it falls short
- Mobile output is weak, by their own admission
- Hidden pricing at a high price point
- shadcn-flavoured output looks like every other AI app
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.
