Weavy alternatives

Looking for an alternative to Weavy?

Weavy is a closed SaaS canvas, now Figma Weave. NodeTool is an open-source creative workspace for image, video, audio, and text workflows, with agents, desktop or self-hosted deployment, and your own provider accounts.

Weavy — now Figma Weave after Figma's October 2025 acquisition — is a closed, hosted canvas billed in credits: you can't self-host it, and your work lives on their platform.

NodeTool vs Weavy at a glance

One morning in October 2025, Weavy users woke up to a new name, a new owner, and the same old credit meter. Figma acquired Weavy, renamed it Figma Weave, and the canvas stayed what it always was: closed, hosted, and billed in credits, with a model list someone else curates. NodeTool takes the opposite bet — open source, your own keys at provider prices, workflows and files you own, and an agent-first workspace where an agent can build the pipeline for you. Cloud is just managed hosting of the same code you can self-host.

Pay providers, not credits — and keep your work

Credit systems and curated model lists decide which models you can use and what each call costs — and after an acquisition, someone else's roadmap decides everything else. NodeTool flips that: you add your own API keys and pay each provider their published list price. The workspace is agent-first, so you can describe what you want and an agent authors the workflow, runs it, and repairs what fails on the same canvas you use. All of it is open source under AGPL-3.0 — run it as a desktop app or self-host it, and your workflows and files stay yours. NodeTool Cloud is managed hosting of the same code.

Frequently asked questions

How is NodeTool different from Weavy?
Weavy and similar closed SaaS canvases lock you into a credit system and a curated list of models. NodeTool is open source and runs on your own keys: every provider, your keys, provider prices, and you own your workflows and files. NodeTool Cloud is just managed hosting of the same open-source code you can self-host.
What happened to Weavy?
Figma acquired Weavy in October 2025 and renamed it Figma Weave. The product runs as a standalone tool at weave.figma.com with its own AI credits and billing, separate from Figma, and is being folded into the Figma platform over time. It remains closed source and hosted-only.
Does NodeTool use credits?
No. NodeTool runs on your own keys — you bring your own API keys and pay each provider their list price directly. There are no credits, no markup, and no hand-picked model list.
Can I self-host NodeTool?
Yes. NodeTool is open source under AGPL-3.0. You can run it as a desktop app on macOS, Windows, or Linux, or self-host the same code that powers NodeTool Cloud.
Who owns my workflows and files in NodeTool?
You do. In the desktop app your workflows and files stay on your machine. NodeTool does not lock your work behind a proprietary platform — the code is open source and self-hostable.
