Figma AI (Make / First Draft) vs Krea
A plain-English comparison to help you choose between them.
Workflow against exploration, not output against output. Krea is where visual people iterate: a real-time canvas rendering as you paint and type, many frontier models in one place, art direction by direct manipulation. Figma AI is where teams converge: drafts generated from Figma-built libraries, your own designs turned into prototypes and code, everything accumulating in the files the team already works in. Pick Krea to find the look; pick Figma AI to build the screens, and treat the pairing as a sequence rather than a choice.
Side by side
- Summary
Figma's AI turns the design tool into a generator: First Draft produces editable screens from a prompt using Figma-built libraries, with generation on your own design system not yet available, Make converts designs and descriptions into interactive prototypes and working front-end code, and smaller assists handle content replacement, image cleanup and smart search across files.
- Best for
- Editable first-draft screens generated on your design system
- Prompts to interactive prototypes without leaving Figma
- Design-to-code handoff as an engineering starting point
- Cost
- Freemium (Free tier + paid plans)
- Ease
- Openness
- Hosted service
- Data
- Designs and prompts stay within Figma's platform terms, with admin controls on AI features for enterprise plans. Make output is a prototype starting point, not production code, so review before anything ships.
- Summary
Krea is a real-time generative canvas: paint, drag and type while the image renders live, with many image and video models aggregated behind one interface.
- Best for
- Real-time generation that renders as you paint and type
- Art direction by direct manipulation, not re-prompting
- Many frontier image and video models in one place
- Cost
- Freemium (Free tier + paid plans)
- Ease
- Openness
- Hosted service
- Data
- Uploads and generations sit under platform terms; heavy video use is where costs need watching.

Common questions
Can Krea's output feed the Figma workflow?
As reference and raw material, comfortably: moodboards, style directions, hero imagery and upscaled assets all travel as images into design files. What does not travel is structure, since Krea produces pictures rather than components, so the screen itself is rebuilt in the design tool. That handoff is exactly where the exploration-to-production line sits.
Which one changes how a designer works day to day?
Krea changes ideation: rendering while you manipulate makes art direction feel like sculpting rather than ordering, and comparing a concept across models takes minutes. Figma AI changes production mechanics: first drafts, mechanical revisions by prompt and design-to-code handoff. One reshapes how ideas form, the other how agreed ideas become buildable.
Where do the costs concentrate on each?
Krea's follow the models it aggregates, so heavy use, particularly video, tracks underlying pricing and needs the arithmetic done first. Figma AI's cost is effectively the platform seat the team already justifies. For a team already paying for Figma, the marginal question is only whether Krea's exploration earns a second subscription.
