In order of how closely each one matches Flowstep.
Subframe
3.9$29/mo
vs Flowstep$14 moreSame
Designers drag and drop; engineers pull Radix UI and Tailwind code, not a screenshot.
- Visual design that exports production Radix UI and Tailwind code
- Real-time multiplayer collaboration
- Design system and components synced with code
Exports to a standard, well-supported stack rather than a proprietary format
Competes in a genuinely crowded design-to-code category
Onlook
4.1Free
vs Flowstep+0.2
A visual editor that lets designers edit live React components directly in the real codebase.
- Visual editing of live React components in the actual codebase
- Infinite canvas that keeps design exploration familiar to designers
- Works against the team's real Storybook design system
Removes design-to-code drift by removing the translation step
Requires a React codebase with Storybook already in place
Google Stitch
4.2Free
vs Flowstep+0.3
Google's AI design canvas, exporting straight into Figma or code.
- AI-native design canvas built on Gemini models
- Generation from text prompts, sketches, or screenshots
- Direct export to Figma or HTML/CSS code
Direct export to both Figma and code streamlines design-to-development handoff
Free generation limits are more restrictive on the higher-quality Pro mode

Converts a hand-drawn sketch or screenshot into an editable UI.
- Hand-drawn sketch to editable UI conversion
- Screenshot to editable UI conversion
