What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Alloy
Alloy — Best if you already have an existing product design and want to prototype from that foundation rather than starting from scratch.
Perplexity
Figma
Figma — Best overall for most product designers because it keeps UI design, collaboration, shareable prototypes, variables/conditional logic, and developer handoff in one workflow.
ChatGPT
