Research-based review. Features and prices are checked on the vendor's own website, and the score is worked out from those facts. We haven't tested it hands-on yet.

The verdict

Worth it for non-designers who want to sketch an idea and get a working wireframe fast, though teams needing a public API to connect other tools should pick Figma.

Pros

  • Typing what a screen needs to do returns a working layout from Visily's design generator.
  • A Screenshot Editor turns a screenshot of an app or web page into an editable wireframe, and a separate feature does the same from a hand-drawn sketch.
  • Wireframes convert into interactive, clickable prototypes automatically.
  • More than 100 design systems can be used, edited and taken into other AI code or design tools.
  • Unlimited AI-generated images are included from the Pro plan up.
  • Real-time co-designing and commenting are both included in the product.
  • Visily's privacy policy names the GDPR directly.

Cons

  • There is no public developer API; only an MCP server for supported AI coding tools.
  • Visily has no stored brand kit, only workspace themes and custom fonts.
  • Free plan exports carry a watermark and are capped at 1x resolution.
  • The free Starter plan allows only 2 editable boards per workspace.
  • Visily runs only as a web app, with no desktop or mobile application.
  • The Business plan is billed only annually, at $29 a month per editor, with no monthly-billed option published.

Why these numbers

Turns a screenshot, sketch or URL into a design: Visily also supports sketch-to-design (help-center/sketch-to-design).

Built-in user testing: Checked the Prototyping page, pricing feature table, and FAQs; found sharing prototypes for comments/feedback, but no dedicated user-testing feature (no participant testing, no heatmaps).

Why these numbers

Why these numbers

Where it runs: Counted from platforms. That quote is about designing for mobile/web UIs inside Visily, not a native Visily app; checked homepage and pricing page for iOS/Android/desktop/extension mentions, found none, so Visily itself is web-only.

API: Checked the pricing page's full feature/plan-comparison table, FAQs, and /api/ (404 on the site) for a public developer API; none found. 'Visily MCP server' is an AI-assistant integration, not a public REST/developer API.

Template library: Visily also has a dedicated Templates library page (visily.ai/templates).

Single sign-on: Business plan feature.

How the Spec Score works

Scored from what Visily publishes on its own site. Not a hands-on test.

Compared with 7 AI UI design tools. Facts checked 19 Sep 2026.

A fact the vendor does not publish gets half the points, or the typical value for a number, and says so. It never counts as a no. How we score.

Visily turns a prompt, a screenshot or a hand-drawn sketch into an editable UI design, aimed at people who want a working mockup without learning a full design tool. Whether it suits you comes down to how much you need beyond wireframes and prototypes, since Visily has no public developer API and its brand tools stop at themes and fonts rather than a stored brand kit.

What is Visily?

Visily (visily.ai) is a web-based UI design tool that turns a prompt, a screenshot or a sketch into an editable wireframe or mockup, built around the idea that most people who need one aren't designers.

Designing screens in Visily

Typing what a screen needs to do returns a working layout from Visily's design generator. A Screenshot Editor turns a screenshot of an app or web page into an editable wireframe or mockup, and a separate feature does the same starting from a hand-drawn sketch.

Wireframes turn into interactive, clickable prototypes automatically. Visily also offers more than 100 design systems that can be used, edited and taken into other AI code or design tools.

Export to Code and CSS inspection are both available on the Pro plan and above, alongside export to Figma and import from Figma.

Working with other people

Commenting and real-time co-designing are both included. There is no stored brand kit; consistency instead comes from workspace themes, custom fonts and a shared workspace library.

Visily has no public developer API; an MCP server instead lets supported AI coding tools read design context, generate code, retrieve themes and locate boards. Named integrations include Figma, Slack, Notion and Jira.

Visily pricing: what each plan gives

Visily pricing screenshot
Visily, Pricing

The free Starter plan gives 300 AI credits a month with standard AI design, limited to 2 editable boards per workspace with unlimited view-only access, and exports carry a watermark at 1x resolution only. There is no time-limited trial; the free plan takes its place.

Pro costs $14 a month per editor, or $11 a month per editor billed annually, and includes 3,000 AI credits a month plus unlimited AI-generated images. Business is billed only annually, at $29 a month per editor, and adds SAML SSO, custom team management, a workspace library and 30-day version history.

Privacy and support

Visily's privacy policy names the GDPR. SAML SSO is available on the Business plan. Support runs through email and a help center; no live chat, phone line or community forum is listed.

Who Visily suits

Visily suits people without a design background who need a working mockup fast, starting from a prompt, a screenshot or a sketch, and teams that want to hand a design off to Figma once it's ready. Its free plan has no expiry, so there's time to evaluate it before paying anything.

It suits less well anyone who needs a developer API beyond the MCP integration, a full brand kit with a stored logo and colour library, or a native desktop or mobile app, since Visily runs only in the browser.

How Visily compares

Visily scores 7.6 out of 10 among the AI UI design tools we rate. These three do the same job and are the closest to it, compared on what each vendor publishes.

7.6Visily
vs
8.1Figma

Figma

Visily's cheapest paid plan is $14 against Figma's $20, and it turns a screenshot, sketch, or URL into a design, something Figma does not offer as a native feature. Figma runs on 5 platforms against Visily's 1, connects to 12 integrations against Visily's 4, and adds a public API that Visily does not have. Both include a template library, support live co-editing and comments for approval, and keep a free plan.

Pick Figma if you need it on more platforms and more apps to connect to.
Pick Visily if you want a screenshot or URL turned into a design at a lower starting price.

7.1Uizard

Uizard

Visily's cheapest paid plan is $14 against Uizard's $19, and it connects to 4 outside apps against Uizard's 1. Visily also adds single sign-on on a higher plan, which Uizard does not offer. Uizard instead includes a Focus Predictor that flags where attention lands on a screen, a feature Visily does not have. Both include a template library, export to 5 file formats, and let several people edit the same project live.

Pick Uizard if you want built-in attention prediction on your designs.
Pick Visily if you want more outside app connections and single sign-on for your team.

7.3Anima

Anima

Visily's cheapest paid plan is $14 against Anima's $25, and it lets several people edit the same project live with comments for approval; Anima offers neither, and invited viewers can only fork a copy to work on their own. Visily also starts you from a template library, which Anima does not have. Anima instead opens an API by request on its top accounts, something Visily does not offer. Both connect to 4 outside apps and keep a free plan.

Pick Anima if you need API access, even if you have to request it.
Pick Visily if you want to collaborate live with comments and start from a template.
