Category	Design	Dev Platform	Research	Dev Platform
Pricing	Included with Figma plans	Pay per second of compute	Free + $20/mo Pro	Free tier + pay-as-you-go API
Best for	Designers already on Figma.	Developers using open-source models (Flux, SDXL, Whisper, etc).	Replacing Google for any question where you want a cited answer in seconds.	Developers who need sub-100ms LLM responses.
Strengths	First drafts with Make Designs Rename/rearrange layers automatically Natural language asset search	Tens of thousands of models (image, video, audio, LLMs) One-line API for any model Cog framework for custom model deploy	Sources every claim Fast, current answers Pro Search runs multi-step research Spaces for persistent context	500+ tokens/sec on Llama/Mixtral — feels instant Custom LPU hardware Great free tier
Weaknesses	Features vary by plan + region Still rolling out	Cold starts on less-popular models Pricing gets real at scale	Not a general chatbot Answers can be shallow on complex topics	Open-weight models only (no Claude/GPT) Less flexibility on custom configs
Kai's verdict	A-tier. No reason not to use it if you're on Figma. Not worth switching for.	S-tier for open-source model APIs. The default in this space.	S-tier for search. I use it before Google now. If you're still Googling everything, try this for a week.	S-tier for speed. When latency is the product, start here.
