Instead of Particles UI
Particles UI alternatives
Particles UI gives teams a place to create, version, review and publish design tokens across codebases, themes and AI agents. Branch-based changes pass through review before joining the main token set, and a contrast check can block below-WCAG-AA changes from merging or publishing. Its CLI accepts several token formats and exports to formats including Tailwind v4, CSS, Flutter and TypeScript. The free plan has unlimited tokens and export formats; paid plans start at $19/user/mo, while MCP access requires Team or above.

An alternative may fit better if your work centers on shaping a full visual system, extracting tokens from websites, or using an established component library instead of governing shared tokens. Platform support also varies: Particles UI runs on Linux, macOS, web and Windows, while some options focus on web or mobile. Consider whether you need token review and versioning, particular Figma or code workflows, AI access, or accessibility checks. Then compare those needs with each product’s scope and price, including what its free tier covers.
