MarkupGen vs. Locofy: Web HTML/CSS vs. Web + Mobile Code

Locofy and MarkupGen solve the same starting problem — a Figma design that needs to become real code — but they're scoped differently. Locofy's pitch is breadth: web and mobile output from one design. MarkupGen's pitch is depth on the web side specifically: clean, semantic HTML/CSS with the widest choice of CSS output formats.

Quick answer: need code for a mobile app too, not just a website? Locofy is the one on this list that outputs React Native and Flutter alongside web frameworks. Building for the web and want clean HTML, CSS or Tailwind without a token-metered pricing model? MarkupGen is the more direct fit.

What Locofy does well

Locofy uses what it calls a Large Design Model — proprietary models trained on a large set of designs — to convert Figma (or Adobe XD) files into code. It runs in two modes: Lightning, a one-click AI conversion, and Classic, a step-by-step flow with manual component tagging for more control. Framework coverage is broad: React, Next.js, Gatsby and HTML/CSS for the web, plus React Native and Flutter for mobile — which makes it one of the few tools in this space that isn't web-only.

That mobile coverage is the real differentiator. If a project needs both a web build and a native mobile app from the same Figma source, Locofy is built around exactly that case in a way most Figma-to-code tools aren't.

What MarkupGen does differently

MarkupGen doesn't try to cover mobile frameworks — it's built specifically for the web, and goes deep there instead of wide. Export a frame with the Figma plugin, AI generates HTML, CSS and optionally React from the design's actual structure, refine visually in an in-app editor, then export in one of six CSS formats: Vanilla CSS, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Bulma, Materialize or Pico CSS.

Auto Layout maps straight to Flexbox, responsive breakpoints are generated from the design's own resizing constraints, and every export gets an automatic quality score. Because the scope stays web-only, pricing stays a flat plan rather than a usage-metered token/credit system — which matters if you'd rather budget a fixed monthly cost than track consumption per conversion.

Where each one fits

If a mobile app is part of the deliverable, Locofy's React Native/Flutter output covers ground MarkupGen doesn't try to. If the project is web-only and you want clean HTML/CSS/Tailwind with predictable pricing, start with MarkupGen's free plan and compare the output directly against your own Figma frame.
