Benchmark results
Figure 1: Results of the benchmark.
We conducted this benchmark using the latest versions of the tools available as of January 2025.
To see some of the outputs of the tools, you can check the outputs section.
To maintain objectivity in our evaluation, we used only a single initial prompt for each tool without any follow-up adjustments or iterations. We deliberately avoided making additional prompts or modifications to improve the outputs. Users should note that in real-world scenarios, you can achieve significantly better results by:
- Iterating on your prompts
- Making specific adjustment requests
- Using the tools’ customization features
- Fine-tuning the generated code
- Leveraging each platform’s unique capabilities.
Our benchmark provides a baseline performance with minimal interaction. However, your results may vary and could improve substantially with more detailed prompts and iterative improvements.
You can also read our screenshot-to-code benchmark with the same tools.

Lovable
Lovable offers a Supabase connection. Projects in the free plan are created publicly. Projects can be deployed by using a deployment plugin.
v0 by Vercel
Outputs can be deployed to Vercel using the Vercel plugin available on v0.

Bolt
Projects can be deployed to Netlify and then transferred to the user’s own account. Also, they can be connected to Supabase.
CerebrasCoder
CerebrasCoder provided results the fastest, almost instantly. However, its implementation has some problems and the output was not well-crafted.
SitesGPT
SitesGPT takes these inputs: Company name, logo, colors, details about your company (category, target users, etc).

Then, using this information, it provides a website that can be customized in a drag-and-drop environment.

Wix
Wix offers an AI-powered website builder, which accepts prompt inputs and features a drag-and-drop environment

CodeDesign
CodeDesign can take prompt input and also offers a no-code environment to make changes to the output.

What is an AI website creator?
An AI website builder is an easy-to-use tool that automates website creation using generative technologies. It enables users to create professional websites from scratch in minutes without coding.
AI website builders simplify the website creation process with a drag-and-drop interface and ready-to-use templates. Users can also prompt some of the tools to follow their instructions and make websites with vibe coding.
By backend, AI tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and Replit can be used; we also tested them in our AI code editor benchmark.
Can AI website generators replace designers and developers?
While AI website builders can quickly generate functional websites, they are currently best suited for basic to intermediate projects and initial prototypes. Professional designers and developers remain essential for complex, highly customized, or innovative websites.
Designers bring creative vision, brand understanding, and user experience expertise that AI cannot fully replicate. They can create unique, emotion-evoking designs that stand out from template-based solutions.
Similarly, developers are crucial for implementing complex functionalities, custom features, unique interactions, and specialized integrations that go beyond AI capabilities. They ensure optimal performance, security, and scalability while solving unique technical challenges.
AI website builders should be viewed as tools to augment human creativity and efficiency, not as complete replacements for professional web development expertise.
Also, mcp servers like Figma MCP can help accelerate the design-to-code process.
Also, users should be aware of the vulnerabilities of AI-generated code and use an AI code review tool before publishing their projects to ensure safety.
