Looking for a Figma Weave alternative?
Figma Weave is a closed, hosted canvas billed in its own AI credits — you can't self-host it, and its roadmap now follows Figma's platform plans. If that's what has you looking, here are the alternatives worth weighing — and why teams pick NodeTool, the open source, BYOK canvas for image, video, audio, and text.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Figma Weave the same as Weavy?
- Yes. Figma acquired Weavy in October 2025 and renamed it Figma Weave. It runs as a standalone product at weave.figma.com with its own AI credits and billing, separate from Figma, and is being integrated into the Figma platform over time.
- Is there an open source alternative to Figma Weave?
- NodeTool is one: an open-source (AGPL-3.0) node-based canvas for image, video, audio, and text. It is BYOK — you call every major provider with your own keys at provider prices — and runs as a desktop app, in the browser, or self-hosted.
- Does NodeTool use credits like Figma Weave?
- No. NodeTool is BYOK — you bring your own API keys and pay each provider their list price directly. There are no credits, no markup, and no curated roster. You can also run local models for no per-call cost at all.
- When is Figma Weave the better pick?
- If your team already lives in Figma and wants a managed, hosted canvas with a curated roster and community workflows — and doesn't need self-hosting, local models, or BYOK pricing — Figma Weave is a polished choice. NodeTool is for teams that want the same workflows with open source, their own keys, and their own machines.
