Every pick sourcedHonest trade-offsFor humans and agents

Updated June 2026

Ranked Shortlist

Mobbin · mobbin.com

A large, curated library of real shipped iOS, Android, and web app screens and step-by-step user flows for benchmarking UI patterns.

Price: Freemium — limited free tier; Pro from ~$10/mo and Team ~$12/seat/mo (both billed yearly, prices localized by region); Enterprise custom. 50% student discount. [1]
Library: Very deep: 621,500+ real shipped screens and 142,200+ user flows across 1,000+ apps (first-party, May 2026), with flows organized as complete journeys, not loose screenshots.
Agent access: Official MCP server (OAuth, Streamable HTTP, currently in beta) plus an official REST API. MCP needs any paid plan; REST API is Team/Enterprise only. Neither works on the free tier.

Refero · refero.design

A curated web-and-iOS design-reference library (150k+ real product screens, 6k+ flows) built for both designers and AI agents.

Price: Freemium — limited free tier; Pro reportedly ~$12-14/mo (~$8/mo annual, secondary sources conflict). Team per-seat (min 3 seats); a Lifetime plan and 40% student discount also exist. [24]
Library: Vendor-stated 150,000+ real product screens and 6,000+ user flows (Stripe, Linear, Notion, etc.) plus a "styles" layer; not independently audited, and older listings show much lower counts.
Agent access: Official first-party MCP (https://api.refero.design/mcp, Bearer/OAuth) with eight tools across Styles/Screens/Flows — but it requires a paid Pro plan and caps Pro at 8,000 tool calls/month.

Figr · figr.design

A product-aware AI design agent: it ingests your screens, flows, design system, and docs, then generates Figma- and code-ready designs.

Price: Freemium — Free $0/mo (10 credits); Starter $39/mo (200 credits, 1 seat); Max $149/mo (1,000 shared credits, up to 3 seats); Enterprise custom. Credits are fractional and effort-based. [48]
Library: Not a browsable screenshot library; it is a generation engine. It uses an in-app "Inspiration" grounding set (vendor-claimed 200k+ screens) during generation, not an indexed, agent-queryable corpus.
Agent access: Official first-party MCP server at mcp.figr.design/mcp, supported across Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and more. It exposes your OWN Figr designs for design-to-code handoff, not an external screen corpus. No public REST API.

Flowstep · flowstep.ai

An AI tool that generates editable multi-screen UI designs from text prompts, with copy-to-Figma and React/TypeScript/Tailwind code export.

Price: Freemium — Free $0/mo, then message-metered: Starter $15/mo (80 messages), $29/mo (240), $99/mo (1,000), plus custom Enterprise. Annual saves up to 20%. [67]
Library: Not a reference library — Flowstep synthesizes new UI on demand rather than indexing real apps, so it has no browsable screenshot corpus and publishes no screen or template counts.
Agent access: Official first-party MCP (hosted at api.flowstep.ai/mcp over Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 PKCE, 19 tools). No separate REST/GraphQL API; usage shares your plan's message quota.

UXPin · uxpin.com

A code-backed prototyping tool where teams build high-fidelity, interactive UIs from real React components and export production-ready code.

Price: Freemium — permanent capped Free plan; Core $49/mo ($29 annual), Growth $69/mo ($40 annual), Enterprise custom. Billed per editor and metered by monthly AI credits. [89]
Library: Not a reference gallery. It ships code-backed component libraries (MUI, Tailwind UI, Ant Design, Bootstrap, shadcn/ui) and syncs your own React design system via Git/Storybook — not a screenshot corpus.
Agent access: No official MCP or public API for design data. UXPin consumes external LLMs (Claude, GPT) to generate UI in-editor; a third-party "ux-mcp-server" exists but is unaffiliated and generic.

Lazyweb · lazyweb.com

Free, agent-first design research library with app trees, Design.md-style app files, and screen-version history.

Price: Free. [22]
Library: 281k+ real app screens across iOS apps and marketing pages.
Agent access: Agent-first MCP setup across Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, hosted Claude connector paths, and other agentic platforms.

Feature Matrix

CriterionMobbinReferoFigrFlowstep
Best for Use Mobbin when you need a deep, curated catalog of real iOS/Android/web screens and full multi-step flows, and you (or your agent) have a paid plan for its MCP or API. [1]Use Refero when an agent or designer needs curated web/iOS product references — especially SaaS dashboards, settings, and marketing pages — via a first-party MCP, and a paid subscription is acceptable. [24]Use Figr when a product team wants an AI agent that learns your specific product context to generate UX artifacts and Figma/code-ready screens, then hands them to coding agents via MCP. [48]Use Flowstep when you want an agent or designer to rapidly generate and iterate on editable multi-screen UI mockups and starter React/Tailwind code from a prompt, not to browse real shipped app screens for reference. [67]
Pricing Freemium — limited free tier; Pro from ~$10/mo and Team ~$12/seat/mo (both billed yearly, prices localized by region); Enterprise custom. 50% student discount. [1]Freemium — limited free tier; Pro reportedly ~$12-14/mo (~$8/mo annual, secondary sources conflict). Team per-seat (min 3 seats); a Lifetime plan and 40% student discount also exist. [24]Freemium — Free $0/mo (10 credits); Starter $39/mo (200 credits, 1 seat); Max $149/mo (1,000 shared credits, up to 3 seats); Enterprise custom. Credits are fractional and effort-based. [48]Freemium — Free $0/mo, then message-metered: Starter $15/mo (80 messages), $29/mo (240), $99/mo (1,000), plus custom Enterprise. Annual saves up to 20%. [67]
Library depth Very deep: 621,500+ real shipped screens and 142,200+ user flows across 1,000+ apps (first-party, May 2026), with flows organized as complete journeys, not loose screenshots. [1]Vendor-stated 150,000+ real product screens and 6,000+ user flows (Stripe, Linear, Notion, etc.) plus a "styles" layer; not independently audited, and older listings show much lower counts. [24]Not a browsable screenshot library; it is a generation engine. It uses an in-app "Inspiration" grounding set (vendor-claimed 200k+ screens) during generation, not an indexed, agent-queryable corpus. [48]Not a reference library — Flowstep synthesizes new UI on demand rather than indexing real apps, so it has no browsable screenshot corpus and publishes no screen or template counts. [67]
Platform coverage iOS, Android, and web apps, with version toggles per product and ~18 categories. "Web" means web-app UI; there is no dedicated marketing-website or email-design gallery. [1]Web and iOS only (the MCP platform parameter accepts only "web" or "ios"). No Android, desktop, or email; strongest on web-first SaaS dashboards, settings, and marketing pages. [24]Web app only, desktop-optimized; no native mobile apps. Ingests Figma, live web/product captures (Chrome extension), recordings, code/Storybook, docs, and analytics CSVs; outputs both mobile and web screens. [48]Browser-based web app for app/web UI; no native iOS/Android app and no corpus of real shipped screens. Outputs editable canvas designs plus React/TypeScript/Tailwind code, with 1:1 Figma paste. [67]
MCP / API Official MCP server (OAuth, Streamable HTTP, currently in beta) plus an official REST API. MCP needs any paid plan; REST API is Team/Enterprise only. Neither works on the free tier. [1]Official first-party MCP (https://api.refero.design/mcp, Bearer/OAuth) with eight tools across Styles/Screens/Flows — but it requires a paid Pro plan and caps Pro at 8,000 tool calls/month. [24]Official first-party MCP server at mcp.figr.design/mcp, supported across Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and more. It exposes your OWN Figr designs for design-to-code handoff, not an external screen corpus. No public REST API. [48]Official first-party MCP (hosted at api.flowstep.ai/mcp over Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 PKCE, 19 tools). No separate REST/GraphQL API; usage shares your plan's message quota. [67]
Agent readiness Genuinely agent-ready: the official MCP returns screen images, annotations, and metadata with natural-language search inside Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and v0 — but only with a paid, authenticated account. [1]Genuinely agent-ready: hosted MCP, eight scoped tools, structured per-screen metadata agents can read before fetching images, an MIT-licensed skill, and an OpenAPI spec. Gates are commercial, not technical (paid plan, call caps). [24]Genuinely agent-accessible via its MCP server, but it is an outbound bridge: an agent retrieves designs your team already authored in Figr for implementation — it cannot query Figr for external or competitor UI evidence. [48]Genuinely agent-usable today: a coding agent in Cursor/Claude Code/Windsurf can authenticate and call 19 tools to generate, fetch (JSX or PNG), edit, and expand designs — but it returns generated artifacts, not a citable corpus of real product UI. [67]

Why Lazyweb is different

Lazyweb is not trying to be just another gallery. It is built so agents can run competitive analysis, inspect real references, and read app-tree context and screen-version history when deciding what to build.

The honest limitation: Lazyweb does not yet have web-app flows, and the UI is less advanced for humans who only want manual filtering.

  37. 37. Pablooo.club comparison page for Refero
    Other · pablooo.club · BIASED: page belongs to a competing free tool. Frames Refero negatively on cost, a 'closed' library, and a limited free plan. Included for completeness but discounted for conflict of interest. “The free plan gives very limited access. You only see a few recent apps and flows, with heavy limits on search and downloads.”

  54. 54. Figr AI Review (2026): Pricing, Features & Honest Verdict — MakerStack
    Review site · makerstack.co · Affiliate-style review (8.1/10). Useful for its listed cons: upfront-context friction, 5-seat-minimum team plans, Figma-dependent export, deliberately slower. Praise echoes Figr marketing — discount accordingly. “Requires upfront context setup before generating useful designs”
  55. 55. Figr AI Review (2026) — Toolworthy
    Third-party review · toolworthy.ai · Independent feature/pricing summary; notes browser-only, SOC 2 Type II, no training on user data, opaque credits, 20-60 min setup. Lists older annual prices ($16/$20) — flagged.

  65. 65. Mobbin vs. Refero: Which is Better?
    Review site · toolfolio.io · Surfaced when searching 'Figr vs Mobbin/Refero' — confirms Figr is NOT yet part of the design-reference comparison conversation. Mobbin = deep flows at higher price; Refero = faster/cheaper web inspiration.
  66. 66. Figr on X
    X · x.com · Only Figr's own brand account surfaced on X; no independent designer takes found in search. Not a sentiment signal.
  67. 67. Flowstep — official pricing page
    Official pricing page · flowstep.ai · Live page displayed Free ($0/mo, all limits 'Limited'), Starter ($15/mo, 80 messages, unlimited multi-screen/projects/exports/Figma), and Enterprise (custom). Annual saves up to 20%.
  68. 68. Flowstep blog — UX Pilot pricing comparison (contains Flowstep's own full pricing ladder)
    Official (first-party) blog · flowstep.ai · Primary, first-party confirmation of the full message-tier ladder that the live /pricing page does not render as cards: 'This plan includes 80 messages, where 1 prompt = 1 message. You pay $29 for 240 messages and $99 for 1000 messages, all with unlimited collaborators... Flowstep also offers a 20% discount on annual billing and a custom enterprise option.' Use this to upgrade the $29/$99 tiers from 'unconfirmed' to confirmed.
