Aura vs Rocket

Short answer: choose Aura for single landing pages, and teams that want to hand designs to Figma. Choose Rocket for founders who want a working web or mobile app, with screens and logic, from one prompt. If what you need is a website that looks professionally designed, neither is built for that: Orlume is.

A

Aura

aura.build

An AI landing page builder that generates pages from prompts and templates, with HTML and Figma export and publishing to an Aura address or a custom domain.

Best for: Single landing pages, and teams that want to hand designs to Figma.

R

Rocket

rocket.new

An AI app builder that generates web apps, dashboards and mobile apps from a prompt, with the UI, navigation and logic included, and code you can export.

Best for: Founders who want a working web or mobile app, with screens and logic, from one prompt.

Orlume

The design-first option

A design-first AI website builder: a multi-agent pipeline decides layout, typography and hierarchy before any code is written, then builds a React and Next.js site.

Best for: Landing pages, SaaS marketing sites, portfolios and startup websites that need to look professionally designed, not AI-generated.

When to choose Aura

Choose Aura when you mainly want a single landing page or a Figma file to hand to a designer.

Aura

Aura · made by Meng To, creator of Design+Code

Free plan
Browse and remix templates and export HTML for personal use; AI prompts need a 3-day trial or credits.
Paid plans
Pro is $25/mo billed monthly ($12.50/mo yearly) for 120 prompts a month, a custom domain, commercial use and Figma export.

Known for

  • Exports HTML, Tailwind CSS and JavaScript, and Figma files on paid plans.
  • Template remixing: copy the prompts and design specs behind any template.
  • Built-in publishing with a CMS, custom domains and SEO metadata.

What it does well

  • Figma export suits designers who keep refining by hand.
  • Fixed, published prompt caps make the monthly cost predictable.

Where it falls short

  • The free plan includes no AI generation.
  • It builds landing pages and marketing sites only: no logins, data or app logic.
  • It produces HTML pages, not a React or Next.js project.

The third option

Why designers pick Orlume over both

  1. 01

    Orlume builds a React and Next.js project, which is easier to grow into a full product site than exported HTML.

  2. 02

    Rocket is built to generate whole apps; Orlume is built to design, so marketing sites and landing pages come out looking finished.

  3. 03

    Dream Mode builds an animated, custom bento grid with real hierarchy and an embedded product video in one click.
