About Anima is a continuous design-to-code platform that allows designers to create and build fully-responsive prototypes that look and act like the end product while using their own design tool (Figma, Adobe XD & Sketch). Anima eases the handoff process to developers by automatically converting designs into developer-friendly HTML, React and Vue code. Collaborate with your team, stakeholders, and clients. Share rich user experience and get a real feel for your product before it goes to production. You can download the plugin for Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch and simply continue working on your own design tool. Sync your project to the Anima platform and collaborate with your product team to work in a continuous flow.		About Retool is the AI-native enterprise app development platform where teams build and ship production-ready apps — at AI speed, with enterprise governance built in. Describe what you need and get a working app, import React-based apps from Lovable, Replit, or Claude Code, or connect your AI agent via MCP. However your team builds, every app lands in Retool with RBAC, SSO, audit logging, and your existing permissions already in place. Retool connects to databases, APIs, LLMs, and external tools out of the box. Teams can build AI agents, dashboards, workflows, and full-stack apps — with a visual editor for speed and direct code access for precision. Trusted by over 10,000 organizations including Amazon, Stripe, DoorDash, and OpenAI to get AI-built apps safely to production.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros One of the main pros is the very friendly, intuitive and easy to understand user experience. It was very easy to learn the different capabilities of the application and even more easy to use. Exported code is very readable and setting have a lot of options. Support is very friendly. Developers are interested to hear about the bugs. Cons Sometimes the UI got stuck when we tried to connect different UI components in order to generate the relevant code but after 2-3 tries we succeeded to connect the components. There are a few bugs (already reported all of them) and the customer service took over a month to solve my issues which at the end did get solved within 5 minutes.. felt like they didn't really care? Not sure tbh.		Pros from Real Users Pros For our internal workflows and tooling, we now use retool for everything. It is super easy and quick to get our critical operations workflows built. Excellent support from their team too!
