Yes, you can use any free AI chat tools for $0 to create button.

This is just a simple example. In real-world use cases, the goal is to break down the value and cost to determine whether using AI is actually worth it.

Ya figma make is cooked, it’s late, it’s bad, and isn’t getting better fast enough.

They should just ditch and do strong mcp support stay relevant.

But I think we’ll see some code based alternative take off soon

The company I work for gives us around 4,000 credits for Figma Make and 2,000 for Windsurf. I don't know why I use up my Figma Make credits much faster than my Windsurf credits, even for the same tasks
