Locofy.ai produces better React code than Anima. The catch: before you generate anything, you have to open Locofy's plugin inside Figma and manually tag every layer — marking which elements are containers, which are lists, which should use flex vs grid.
For a 5-screen design, this tagging process takes 30–60 minutes. Every time the design changes, you re-tag. For teams shipping fast, this preprocessing overhead negates much of the time saved by code generation.
We took the same Figma design — a standard SaaS dashboard with sidebar, header, and card grid — and ran it through both Locofy and FigmaForge:
Locofy's output was cleaner than Anima — proper flexbox, no absolute positioning. But the 40 minutes of preprocessing for one screen compounds quickly across a real project.
The fundamental difference between Locofy and FigmaForge is the approach to understanding Figma's layout structure:
Locofy's approach: The plugin cannot reliably infer layout intent from Figma's data alone, so it asks the developer to explicitly label every container. This works — but moves work from the generation step to a preprocessing step.
FigmaForge's approach: AI reads Figma's auto-layout properties, constraint rules, component hierarchy, and frame structure to infer layout intent automatically. The same information that Locofy asks you to provide manually is already embedded in your Figma design — FigmaForge reads it directly.
Migration is straightforward because FigmaForge doesn't require any changes to your Figma files:
If you were using Locofy for React output, the generated FigmaForge React code integrates identically with your existing project. No workflow changes beyond dropping the tagging step.
FigmaForge compares generated UI against Figma pixel-by-pixel. 97%+ match required before export. Locofy has no equivalent quality gate.
KMP Web Emulator previews your UI in Android, iPhone, and Desktop views — in the browser. No IDE required.
FigmaForge reads via the Figma API. Works on any OS, any browser, without Figma plugin infrastructure.
Locofy generates React only. FigmaForge generates KMP Compose for Android/iOS/Desktop alongside React and Next.js — from the same Figma URL.
This is the most significant capability gap. Locofy generates React code. FigmaForge generates Kotlin Multiplatform Compose code that runs natively on:
For teams building cross-platform apps in 2026, this is the deciding factor. Locofy is a web-only tool. FigmaForge is the only Figma-to-code solution with native mobile output.
FigmaForge converts Figma designs to React, Next.js and Kotlin Multiplatform code. Free 200 pts, no credit card.
Yes, but auto-layout designs produce the cleanest output. FigmaForge handles both auto-layout and frame-based designs, though responsive output quality is higher with auto-layout.
Yes. Figma components become React components or Composable functions. Figma variants map to TypeScript union types or KMP expected/actual parameters.
FigmaForge starts at $9/month for the Startup plan, with 200 free pts included on signup. Compare Locofy's pricing — FigmaForge typically offers better value per screen generated, especially with KMP output included.
