Canva Code vs Figma Make

Both Canva Code and Figma Make offer an agent that builds autonomously and both claim element-level editing to fix what the AI got wrong, so those do not separate them. Figma Make confirms Figma or screenshot import, letting a beginner start from a real design rather than a blank prompt, a capability Canva Code does not document. Figma Make's free Starter plan also gives 150 AI credits a day, up to 500 a month, well beyond Canva Code's free plan cap of 20 Premium AI credits a month, and Figma Make publishes a clear entry price of $16/mo once you pay, while Canva Code does not publish one.

For developers, code export and GitHub sync are the hard filters, and only Figma Make publishes answers: it offers a full project code export and a one way GitHub sync that pushes code out, plus a stated ability to self-hostself-host - Run the software on your own servers instead of the vendor’s cloud. the output. Canva Code does not publish any of these three attributes, so there is nothing to weigh it against on the requirements that matter most here. Figma Make's backend is BYO Supabase only, a real if narrow option, again with no published Canva Code equivalent to compare it to. Public API availability is not published for either tool.

Figma Make's free Starter plan gives 150 AI credits a day, up to 500 a month, while Canva Code's free plan caps out at just 20 Premium AI credits a month, a far tighter ceiling for someone testing before paying. Figma Make also publishes a clear entry price of $16/mo, while Canva Code has no published paid-plan price to compare against it. Both support a custom domain once you are on a paid plan. Figma Make's unused credits do not roll over month to month, but that matters less than the size of the free allowance and the visibility into what paying actually costs.

For internal tools, a real backend, built-in auth, and SSO matter most, and Figma Make is the only one of the two with published answers on all three: a BYO Supabase backend, built-in authentication, and SAML SSO available on the Organization plan and above. Canva Code does not publish any of these, so IT teams have nothing concrete to evaluate there. Figma Make also names Supabase as an integration for its backend, another point with no published Canva Code equivalent. Both tools claim multiplayer collaboration, so that does not change the outcome.

Neither Canva Code nor Figma Make publishes what their mobile output actually is, so that question is not answered by either. Among what is documented, Figma Make pulls ahead: its output stack is React (TypeScript), a real framework a mobile team can build on, its backend is BYO Supabase, and it states it can self-hostself-host - Run the software on your own servers instead of the vendor’s cloud. the output, none of which Canva Code publishes an answer for. Both tools claim an autonomous build agent. With the single most important mobile question unpublished on both sides, this leans on the documented framework and backend details, where Figma Make is the only one with answers.

For someone who wants to run the builder itself, offline operation, licensing, and bring-your-own-key billing are what decide it, and neither Canva Code nor Figma Make publishes any of those three. What is documented is thinner but still leans one way: Figma Make states you can self-hostself-host - Run the software on your own servers instead of the vendor’s cloud. the generated output and confirms a hosted plan with hosting included, while Canva Code has no published answer on self-hosting the output. That is not a strong basis, but it is the only documented difference between the two for this use case, so it tips toward Figma Make rather than a flat tie.

Figma or screenshot import is the top requirement for design-led teams, and Figma Make confirms it, letting designers start straight from a Figma file, while Canva Code does not publish this capability at all. Both tools claim element-level editing to fine-tune the result without a prompt, so that ties. Figma Make's output stack is React (TypeScript), a real framework for further polish, again with no published Canva Code answer to compare it against. Both claim multiplayer collaboration, and neither publishes versioning and rollback. With the single most important capability for this use case confirmed only for Figma Make, it is the stronger pick.
