What is Banani?
Banani is an AI UI design tool that generates ready-to-edit UI designs and prototypes from prompts, references, and PRDs. It helps product teams create beautiful, on-brand interfaces in minutes instead of days by turning ideas into multi-screen, clickable UI prototypes through text descriptions or design references.
Key features include Text to UI (describe your idea in plain language and get multi-screen designs instantly), Natural Language Edits (chat with AI to make changes in layout, color, components), Brand-Aware Generation (upload logo and colors for consistent branding), Figma & Code Export (push to Figma with auto-layout intact or get HTML/CSS), Canvas-First Design (see multiple screens for mobile and desktop together), and MCP support connecting designs to AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Banani is for product teams who need to ship UI fast: non-designers, PMs, startup founders, engineers, and teams with limited design resources. It also serves designers who want an AI copilot to handle the busywork. The tool supports web apps, mobile apps, SaaS dashboards, onboarding flows, and settings screens.
Everything generated is private and not used for training. The platform is loved by 100k+ users and companies, backed by Specialist VC and Inovo VC, and selected by the EU-backed Seeds of Bravery accelerator.

Frequently asked questions about Banani
What is a credit in Banani?
A credit is what gets used when you generate or edit a design with AI. Creating a new design uses one credit, and editing an existing one also uses one credit. Free users get 20 credits per month with 5 daily refills, Plus users get 100 monthly credits with 10 daily refills, and Pro users get unlimited credits.
Is Banani free to use?
Yes, and there's no credit card required. The Free plan doesn't expire. You get 20 monthly credits, 5 daily refills, private projects, and up to 3 Figma exports per day, which is plenty to prototype ideas and see if it fits your workflow.
Can I export my designs to Figma?
Yes. Free users get up to 3 Figma exports per day. Plus and Pro users get unlimited exports. A Figma export is a direct transfer of your Banani design into Figma as editable layers with auto-layout intact, so you can keep refining in Figma, hand it off to developers, or share with your team without screenshots or rebuilding.
What's the difference between Banani Plus and Pro?
Mostly volume and speed. Plus gives you 100 monthly credits, 10 daily refills, and 3x faster generation. Pro removes the credit limit entirely, runs at the highest generation speed, and includes priority support. If you're designing every day or managing client projects, Pro is the better choice.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Your existing projects stay accessible, you can still view and share everything. New AI generations pause until your credits refill or your billing cycle resets. If you need more immediately, you can upgrade anytime and credits kick in right away.
Does Banani work for both web and mobile UI design?
Yes. You can design for web apps, mobile apps, SaaS dashboards, onboarding flows, settings screens, whatever you need. Banani generates multi-screen, interactive prototypes from your description, and you can refine and export from there.
What is Banani MCP?
Banani MCP connects your designs directly to AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Pick your screens, run the connection command, and your agent builds them out in your stack. All plans include MCP access, and you can add it from inside the app.
Is there a discount for annual billing?
Yes. Annual billing saves you 40% across all paid plans on Banani compared to paying monthly.
Does Banani support team collaboration?
Yes. Plus and Pro plans let you create shared projects your team can view and work in together. Team plans also have centralized billing, so it's easy to manage your team's subscription.
Is Banani secure and private?
Everything that you generate is private and not used for training. Banani uses OpenAI's latest models as a foundational layer. Your data, inputs, and generations are not tied to you as a user, ensuring privacy and security for all projects.
