what's going on my beautiful designers today is an exciting day for me because I get to make a
video about two things that I love AI and UI but actually today I'm going to compare two of the
best AI tools for UI that I found that's Visily and Uizard which one is more powerful which one
is more compatible which one is easier to use which one is cheaper and most importantly which
one can you actually Implement in your workflow if you're a professional designer or if you're anyone
else I'll answer all of those questions and more let's get into it first of all I have to mention
that I have no affiliation with any of these tools I'm just giving my completely honest opinion as a
professional designer so I reviewed both of these tools on this channel in depth if you want to get
to know them more if you want to get to know how to use them please watch my other videos on each
one of them but right now I just want to share with you my most important discoveries that I
made along the way and I'm going to compare them to you because these are the best two tools right
now in the market for AI and UI so let's get into it so I have five different categories to compare
that's functionality performance compatibility usability and pricing so for functionality I
have two sections that's AI features and non-AI features now for AI features these two tools
have pretty much all of the basic features in common so they both have text to UI sketch to
UI screenshot to UI generate theme design review all of those are in common but with Vis you get
the extra functionality of creating diagrams and that's pretty huge feature to have it allows you
to write a prompt and create a diagram or a user flow it's good for brainstorming or for creating a
foundation for a product on the other hand wizard has generated text and images which are coming
soon invisibly but they're not here yet they just have that in the UI that it's it's coming soon so
in terms of AI features I'm going to have to give it to Visily because text to diagram is a pretty
huge feature to have and pretty important in Figma you can actually pay extra to get figJam but here
you get the functionality of fig Jam right inside of Visily and now for the non- AI features we have
the common features that are pretty basic which is like basic editing tools collaboration prototyping
low Fidelity High Fidelity design and templates but then Visily is offering more features more
features that you actually need as a designer to edit your UI so that's like smart components
Advanced layout tools like padding and clipping and containers and structured design they actually
have that in Visily but they don't do that in Uizard and you actually get responsive elements
inis as well so in Wizard it's just all manual editing without any structure or Advanced layout
tools or components so for non-AI features it's definitely going to Visily and of course overall
functionality is definitely going to Visily now let's jump into performance I actually took all
of the common features between these two tools to compare them one to one now for text to UI I found
that Visily is giving me much more coherent UI as opposed to Uizard where I keep getting
designs that are not very usable that require a lot of editing to actually make them usable for
Visily it's actually giving me usable design and actually good-looking UI as opposed to Uizard so
text to UI is going to go to Visily now for sketch to UI actually Uizard is performing better here
because it actually interpreted my very ugly sketches into actually proper elements and UI
whereas Visily struggled to understand my sketches because they actually have a sketching guide that
you have to follow and you actually have to draw each element based on their guide otherwise it
will not understand what you're sketching so you have specific things to draw for a button for a
text field for a title for a card it's just very specific in Visily so the performance
of this feature sketch to UI goes to Uizard now screenshots to UI actually perform the same in
both tools actually completely exactly the same so I'm going to give that an equal generating themes
as well works the same in both tools you can generate themes using natural language or keywords
or enter a link to a website that you want to copy or generate a theme using a screenshot
and all of those features are available in both tools and they both work the same so I'm going to
give that an equal as well now both tools have an AI feature that will review your design and
give you suggestions for better accessibility and better adherence with web protocols but actually
Uizard gave me much more in-depth suggestions for usability and Visily only covers things like
color contrast areas where the text is not very legible or color on a background is not very high
in contrast it's very limited in Visily in Uizard it's not perfect but it's much better so I'm going
to give that to Uizard now for editing tools this one definitely goes to Visily because they
have much much better editing tools and it's much closer to what you get in professional UI design
tools like layout and structures and components and padding and stuff like that so all of that is
available in Visily but it's not very good in in Uizard I'm going to give this one to Visily both
of these tools have collaboration features and they're both good enough they work well so that's
good for prototyping I found that Uizard has better prototyping tools more advanced it actually
gives you the ability to link to different states of a component it even has transition animations
which is good but Visily is only just the basic linking page to page and that's it so for
prototyping I'm going to go with Uizard and both of these tools have low Fidelity and High Fidelity
views they both work the same they have different styling for the Lo-fi view they actually both work
so that one going to be equal for the both of them and lastly we have templates for templates I found
a better variety in Visily because they have a larger Library a larger library of components
that you can use and they even have templates for complete processes so if you don't want to create
the whole process of logging in on a mobile for example you can grab that template it will give
you like 10 screens for the login process so that's good in terms of templates for Visily
it's just much more fleshed out so I'm going to give this one to Visily as well so overall for
performance we have a tie each one of these tools is good at certain things and bad at
certain other things it's up to you what you value the most in terms of an AI tool to create a UI for
me personally I found Visily is better because it actually gives you a little bit more usable
UIs and Designs which is like the main feature so I personally think that performance- wise Visily
Takes the Cake now for compatibility both of these tools can actually import Your Design from other
UI tools like Figma Sketch or XD but only one lets you go the other way around and Export Your Design
from here to Figma and that's Visily this is a pretty huge feature to have and I'm very happy
that Visily was able to actually achieve this compatibility because none of the other AI tools
for UI that I found actually have that you have to install the plugin in Figma and then import
Your Design very easily and very accurately and you get a very good structured design inside of
Figma it will actually give you proper Auto layout on all of the elements so you actually don't have
to restructure your design in Figma after you import it it's just all done for you and I love
that on the other hand in Uizard it will generate your designs and it will just leave them there for
you you cannot export them you cannot even edit them because they don't have the proper tools
for editing so yeah that's a pretty big issue for me in Uizard so compatibility definitely
goes to Visily now for usability both of these tools have a pretty similar interface but Visily
definitely wins this one for me because they have a very obvious well-thought-out attention
to detail to cater to what the designer actually needs you have all of the tools that you need for
any element hovering in the contextual menu or even below that element you get more specific in
tools for components and they have a lot of good attention to detail and very small things that you
notice that makes you just happy because user experience is important it's just small things
like that that makes a better user experience and better quality of life which is lacking in wizard
now let's get into pricing so far it's clear that Visily is winning but guess what it's actually
also cheaper with Visily you get more AI tools like the diagram and you get more editing tools
more professional tools all while being cheaper actually for my reviews on these two tools I have
to pay for Wizard because their free plan is not actually very usable on the other hand for Visily
I actually did all of my testing in the free plan that's how good it is so overall I just want to
let you know that viil is definitely a no-brainer if you want to try an AI tool for UI Visily is the
way to go right now and it's current form maybe wizard will add more features in the future but
Visily is definitely leading in this space right now even though wizard is getting more marketing
and more attention Visily is better that's all I got to say so in terms of workflow if you're
a designer like me you can definitely Implement Visily in your workflow because it's very easy
to use you can generate your screens inside of Visily and import them to Figma and continue
your professional work that actually works very well but if you're not a designer and you have an
idea or a concept that you want to create well you should actually also use Visily this is my
advice to you you can look at the data that I gave you you can try both of the apps and make
a decision for your own but I just wanted to share my thoughts because I found a very big
difference between these two apps that is not very obvious from the surface thank you for watching
