A Google Stitch Alternative That Starts From Real UI

Prompt-first or reference-first

Stitch is prompt-first. You describe what you want, and it designs something plausible, optionally guided by a sketch, a screenshot or a design system. It's fast and the first draft is often good.

Pluck is reference-first. Most designers already know what they like: a particular navigation, a pricing table, the spacing of a site they admire. Pluck lets you collect exactly those pieces from live websites with one click each, then brief a model with them: "the navigation from the first reference, the pricing table from the second, the palette from our logo."

What you get back

This is Stitch's biggest advantage, and we'd rather say it plainly: Stitch produces editable screens and code. A Pluck Studio generation is an image. It shows the direction; it isn't the design file.

What Pluck gives you instead is the real material. The components behind a direction are still in your library with their structure and computed styles, and they copy as prompts an AI coding tool can rebuild exactly, or as editable Figma layers. If you build with Cursor or Claude Code, that's often a better starting point than generated markup.

Where Stitch is better

Stitch is free, gives you editable screens and code, builds multi-screen prototypes, handles mobile app layouts, and works with written design systems. If you want a first draft of an app from a description, it's the faster path.

Pluck is better when the starting point is real UI you've already found, when you want to mix pieces from several sites, or when you want to pick and compare image models.

Using both

They combine well. Find the direction on a Pluck board, download the generation you like, and upload it to Stitch as a screenshot to get editable screens and HTML. Use the plucks behind it when you need the exact styles of the originals.
