Looking for a UIDrop alternative?
UIDrop and Borrowstyle do a similar job: capture a website's design and hand it to an AI coding tool. UIDrop is a good, low-cost tool and many people use it. Here is an honest look at where the two differ so you can pick the one that fits.

When UIDrop is the better pick
If you only need a quick snapshot brief for an AI chat and want the lowest one-time price, UIDrop does that well.
When Borrowstyle fits better
- You want the system as real files for code and Figma, not only a prompt.
- You want to click any element and get its exact measurements.
- You want to make the borrowed design yours before you hand it off, and then check your build against it.
How to switch
Add Borrowstyle to Chrome. You can keep UIDrop installed.
Open the same site you'd snap with UIDrop.
Click the Borrowstyle icon, then Copy for AI or download DESIGN.md.
Compare the two briefs in your AI tool and keep whichever gets you closer.
