Design Buddy

Design Buddy is an AI-powered Figma plugin that offers structured feedback on your user interface designs, helping you refine layout, color, typography, accessibility and other aspects. It's like having a helpful colleague who steers you through design changes and boosts your design confidence.

Design Buddy is useful for junior and senior designers alike, since it spots common UI design problems that people often miss and helps you polish your work before showing it to stakeholders. That can reduce the number of revisions later on.

Here are some of the features:

• Structured Feedback: Covers layout, color, typography, accessibility, and gives a score for each.
• Design Iterations: Helps you through the changes, speeding up the design process.
• Accessibility Checks: Makes sure your designs are accessible.
• Conversational Reviews: Builds on previous feedback, so the conversation is more relevant and continuous.

The plugin comes in three plans:

• Starter Pack: 50 reviews per month for $5 per month, good for trying out Design Buddy.
• Regular Route: 150 reviews per month for $10 per month, good for professional designers with a steady flow of projects.
• Dynamic Team: 500 reviews per month for $25 per month, good for teams where many people are working on designs and doing deeper, more frequent reviews.

To use the plugin, sign up for a plan and get an API key immediately that you can paste into the Design Buddy plugin in Figma. The monthly limit is measured over a 30-day period, so it's based on your usage over the last 30 days and refreshed daily.

Design Buddy is designed to speed up the design process with feedback that's useful, so it's a good option for creative types who want to get their work to the next level as quickly and painlessly as possible.
