Plasmic vs Figma vs Figma Sites
Updated for Figma Sites
Need to go beyond prototypes on Figma or static sites on Figma Sites? Look no further than Plasmic, the visual design tool built for production.
Comparison
What should you choose?
Figma
Figma is the leading design tool for prototyping and ideating. It can translate to code with Dev Mode, but still requires a developer to finish the job.
Figma Sites (beta)
Figma Sites is a site builder with familiar controls for designers who want to publish production websites. Choose Figma Sites for mostly static sites like portfolios or basic marketing sites.
Plasmic
Plasmic is a visual builder that enables deep integrations with code. Choose Plasmic if you need to build full-featured marketing sites or interactive apps and work with developers.
Key Differences
What makes Plasmic different?
Embed anywhere
Plasmic lets you embed visual content seamlessly into your React app, without an <iframe>. Deploy anywhere--don't be stuck in a walled garden.
Works with your existing code and tools
Don't start from scratch. Bring your existing components directly into Plasmic for content editors to use. Use any data source or CMS (we have our own too).
Deployment freedom
Be in control of your own deployments. Host your content anywhere and automate with webhooks.

It’s already been a huge increase in efficiency for me, personally. I’m really looking forward to a huge drop in scope for our tests that require new components (most of them).

Cole Bemis
Design Systems Engineer @GitHub
I was pleasantly surprised and at times, blown away, with the Plasmic approach to solving the problem. The whole concept of variants, interactive variants, and slots feels natural and intuitive.

By far one of the most empowering tools to come out in a while. If you’re a designer/no coder/visual developer who wants to make world class applications, or a design or development studio looking for a way to serve your clients better and faster—check out Plasmic.

Watching @yaaang demo quickly creating #react components with ease using his app @plasmicapp for the second time tonight at a @_collab_lab exclusive presentation. AND I’m just as blown away as I was last time! Check out this app, y’all!

I'm super surprised more folks aren't talking about Plasmic — I just got a demo and it's awesome. It's like Figma and Webflow had a baby that outputs React code.
