## What is UI Discovery?

UI Discovery is a design reference platform for designers and AI-assisted builders that catalogs real product UI for inspiration and rebuilding. It offers a Reference Library, Brief Planner, Compare tool, and a JSON REST API with an MCP server for Cursor, Claude, and Codex, extracting palettes, fonts, and build prompts from captured sections. Verified references include Linear, Stripe, Notion, and Vercel. Plans run Free $0, Pro $15/month, and Team $39/month.

## What the library actually is

UI Discovery is a design-reference catalog, not a design tool: 2,647 websites, 62 web apps and 3,836 iOS apps (https://uidiscovery.com/about), captured and cut into 111,083 individually labelled sections — heroes, pricing tables, footers, onboarding screens. Each capture ships with an extracted colour palette, font stack, headings and an AI-ready 'build prompt'. Website and web-app captures come from the vendor's own crawler screenshotting public pages (no logins or paywalls bypassed, per its sourcing page); iOS screens come from public App Store listings, the vendor's own in-app recordings, or — for some app collections — imported third-party reference archives, which the product labels as such on the relevant app pages (https://uidiscovery.com/sources).

## The MCP server and API: built for agents, not just browsing

This is the tool's clearest strength. The hosted MCP endpoint (https://uidiscovery.com/mcp) exposes a specific, documented tool set — search_sections, search_screens, search_flows, search_sites, compare_references, find_similar, get_design_tokens, and Pro-gated get_design_brief / get_image_plan — plus a parallel REST API (/api/v1/sections, /sites, /search, /brief, /flows) with documented filters, pagination (25 records/request) and rate limits (120 list reads/minute per connection) (https://uidiscovery.com/api-docs). The product's stated workflow is deliberate: search → inspect real references → produce an original artifact with new copy, the buyer's brand, and royalty-free or generated imagery, never the reference's own assets — a position repeated in both the terms of use and the MCP system prompt (https://uidiscovery.com/terms, https://uidiscovery.com/connect). For a team building 'make me a site like X' tooling, that's a cleaner API contract than most reference libraries publish.

## Pricing

Free: browsing the full library, 3 full designs (prompt + code) a day, and 200 API requests/day. Pro: $15/month or $150/year (two months free), unlimited designs, high-res downloads, and 5,000 API requests/day. Team: $39/month, adds 50,000 API requests/day on a single account — the page is explicit that shared workspaces and extra seats are 'not available yet' despite the Team name. All three tiers are listed with real numbers on the public pricing page, billed through Stripe (https://uidiscovery.com/pricing).

## Company size and continuity — the one thing worth checking before you build on it

The things the site says about itself don't agree. The careers page claims 'a team of 25 designers, developers and engineers' with 16 open remote roles across design, engineering, product and growth — but applications go through a plain mailto link, not an applicant-tracking system (https://uidiscovery.com/careers). Both the terms of use and the privacy policy state plainly: 'UI Discovery is operated by Ramandeep Singh ("UI Discovery", "we", "us")' — a single named individual, not a company entity — governed by the laws of Alberta, Canada, with support handled from a Gmail address (townmedialabs@gmail.com) rather than a company domain (https://uidiscovery.com/terms, https://uidiscovery.com/privacy). Domain registration (RDAP, Hostinger) shows uidiscovery.com was registered on 2026-09-24, and the Internet Archive's earliest capture of the live site is 2026-10-10 — meaning the product is roughly three weeks old at the time of this review. None of that makes the library fake (it works, and the API is real), but a buyer evaluating it as infrastructure for a product should treat the 'team of 25' framing as unverified marketing copy, not as a signal of institutional maturity.

## Rights, takedowns and documentation status

The vendor is upfront that captured designs, logos and screenshots belong to their original owners, that the library exists for study and reference rather than redistribution, and that owners can request removal of specific references or an entire product by email (https://uidiscovery.com/content-removal). That's a reasonable, if informal, takedown process for a reference library. Two of the policy pages that carry this commitment — Sources & Rights and Content Removal — are each marked 'Draft, last updated September 29, 2026' directly on the page, meaning the legal terms a rights holder or buyer would rely on are explicitly still being finalized.

## Privacy practices, for what it's worth at this stage

The privacy policy is unusually specific for a tool this young: search and design-brief text sent to its AI ranking provider (TypeSafe) excludes any account or device identifier, per-IP abuse counters live only in server memory and are never persisted, daily visitor counts are computed from a same-day salted hash rather than stored IPs, and the vendor states it does not sell personal data or use it for advertising (https://uidiscovery.com/privacy). No SOC 2, DPA or other formal compliance documentation is published, and there is no separate security/trust page — this is a plain-language privacy policy, not a compliance program.

**How much does UI Discovery cost? Is it free?**

UI Discovery has a free plan, with paid tiers including Pro at $15/ month, Team at $39/ month.

**What is UI Discovery used for? Who is it for?**

UI Discovery is used for Reference library, MCP server, and AI build prompts.

**Does UI Discovery have an API and what does it integrate with?**

The JSON REST API supports metered reference search and visual metadata, with authentication detailed in the API documentation. It integrates with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, VS Code, Figma.

**Our take:** Free includes only 3 design generations a day and 200 API requests; Pro raises the API ceiling to 5,000/day and Team to 50,000/day, but shared workspaces and extra seats aren't available on Team yet, so verify seat needs before committing.
