Product & General
What Create UI is, who it's for, and what's included. Start here if you're new.
- What's the difference between the Design, Code, and Complete plans?The Design plan includes the full Figma design system: all components, tokens, variables, and styles. The Code plan includes the installable React component library, built with React, Tailwind CSS, and Radix UI. The Complete plan includes both and is priced lower than buying them separately, making it the best value, and the recommended option for teams and anyone working across design and development.
- Do I need to know how to code to use Create UI?No, not if you're using the Design plan. The Figma design system requires no code at all. The Code plan and React library are for developers who want to ship the components in a real project. The Complete plan covers both workflows.
- What exactly is Create UI?Create UI is a unified design and code system, a Figma design system and a React component library built to work together. It gives designers ready-to-use components, tokens, and styles in Figma, and gives developers the same components as installable React code. The goal: eliminate the gap between design and production so your team ships faster and stays consistent.
- Can I use this as a designer only, or as a developer only?Both. If you're a designer, the Design plan gives you everything you need in Figma, no code required. If you're a developer, the Code plan gives you the React library independently, no Figma needed. Many solo builders and indie hackers go with Complete because they do both.
- What's included in the free version, and when do I need a paid plan?The free version includes a selection of core React components, enough to evaluate the system and start building. It does not include the full Figma design system, the complete component library, design tokens, advanced variants, or Pro patterns. If you're building a real product and need the full system, all 40+ components, 12,000+ variants, and the Figma kit, you'll need a paid plan.
