Quey vs Figma
Figma is where teams design UI before it's built. Quey is for after it's built — selecting the real, rendered element in your live app and handing an agent exactly what changed and where. They solve different problems and most teams that use Quey still design in Figma first.
Side by side
| Feature | Quey | Figma |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Chrome extension for visual capture and agent handoff | Design and prototyping tool for building UI from scratch |
| Where it runs | Any webpage, via a browser extension | Figma's own desktop and web app, in design files |
| Works on your live, running app | Yes — inspects the real rendered DOM | No — you design in a Figma file, separate from the running app |
| Hands context to your coding agent | Yes — MCP bridge and structured clipboard payload | No — Dev Mode exports CSS/tokens for a human to copy manually |
| Design values captured | Colors, fonts, radius, spacing, and layout from the live element | Whatever was drawn in the design file |
| Requires changing your codebase | No — browser extension only | No, but requires maintaining a separate design file alongside the code |
| Visual style editing | Yes — Frame/Font/Color tools with a live preview on the real page | Yes, but only inside Figma's canvas, not on the shipped app |
| Pricing | Free tier, then $5/month Pro or $35 one-time lifetime | Free tier, paid seats — see figma.com/pricing |
When to use each
FAQ
No. Figma is for designing UI before it's built. Quey is for editing UI after it's built and shipped. Most Quey users still design in Figma first, then use Quey to make the day-to-day tweaks once the real app exists.
Not directly — Quey works on live, rendered web pages, not Figma design files. It captures whatever is actually in the DOM, including elements that have drifted from the original design.
Dev Mode is great for reading a design file's intended CSS values. It doesn't inspect your shipped app, and it has no built-in handoff to a coding agent — you still copy values by hand.
More comparisons
Framer is a website builder — you design, publish, and host inside Framer's platform. Quey is a browser extension that works on any site, including apps that live entirely in your own repo, and its job ends the moment your coding agent has the context it needs to make the edit.
React Grab and Quey solve a similar problem — turning a clicked UI element into context a coding agent can act on. The main difference is where they run: React Grab is installed as a dependency inside your React app, while Quey is a Chrome extension that works on any page without touching your codebase, plus adds visual style editing on top of capture.
Agentation is an overlay widget embedded in your app for leaving pixel-precise feedback notes that an agent can read and act on. Quey takes a more direct path: select the element, edit the actual style live in the browser if you want to, and hand the agent a structured capture — as a browser extension, with nothing added to your app.
Skip the handoff gap
Install Quey, select the live element, and let your agent make the change from real context.
