The Wigley Studios Lineup, Mid-2026: What Ships Today

Our “Inside” series has now pulled the back off every tool we make, one at a time. This is the other view: not a deep dive into any single product, but a catalog of the whole lineup as it stands in the middle of 2026 — every tool that ships today, what it actually is, what it currently costs, and who it's for. Think of it as a state-of-the-shelf snapshot. If you want the story of how these tools fit together into one build-and-ship workflow, that's our developer stack guide; this is the plainer companion to it — the map of what's on offer, grouped the way the tools actually cluster: a design pipeline, a backend pipeline, and a set of standalones. Every price below is read straight from the live product page, and we'll refresh this catalog each quarter.

The Design Pipeline: From Brand Tokens to Shipped UI

Four tools cover the path from “here are my brand's colors” to a complete, coded interface — and they share one philosophy: design tokens first, components that consume them second. You can enter the pipeline at whichever point matches how much you want to do by hand.

Free · Developer Labs

Brand Token Studio

The starting point for the hands-on. A free, browser-based workspace for sculpting the token layer itself — naming and scaling every color, space, radius, and shadow by hand until the foundation is exactly yours. It's one of the three free Developer Labs.

Free · $14.99 · $24.99/mo

UI Kit Generator

A configuration engine, not a prompt box: choose a style preset, set your colors, radius, and shadows, pick your component groups, and it generates a coherent 16-component-family design system in about thirty seconds — exportable as HTML/CSS, Tailwind, and React. Free tier gets one generation; the deep dive is Inside UI Kit Generator.

Core $9.99 · Studio $14.99

UI Kit Packs

The buy-outright option for people who'd rather skip generation entirely. Pre-built, token-driven component sets — 16 component families — delivered as HTML/CSS, Tailwind, and React for a one-time purchase and instant download. Core kits are $9.99; Studio Exclusive kits are $14.99 each.

Free · $19 one-time · $39/mo

PromptUI

The prompt-driven half of the design pipeline: describe a single component in plain English and let AI compose it into production HTML, Tailwind, or React. The tool you reach for when you want one specific piece built to a description rather than a whole system dialed in from settings. Free tier includes one generation; the Starter five-pack is a one-time $19.

The Backend Pipeline: From Contract to Shipped API

Three tools cover the other side of a product — the server. They run from designing your API's shape, to building against realistic data before the real thing exists, to standing up a production backend you own.

Free · Developer Labs

API Contract Lab

A free, browser-based workspace for designing and validating your API's contract — the shape of your endpoints and payloads — before you write the server behind it. The second of the three Developer Labs.

Free · Developer Labs

Mock Data Lab

The third free Lab: generate realistic mock data to build and test against while the real backend is still being written, so your frontend never has to wait on the server to make progress.

$29 · $79 · one-time

ShipKit

The pipeline's payoff: a production-ready FastAPI backend boilerplate you buy once and own outright — structured app layout, JWT auth, Stripe Checkout, an admin foundation, and MySQL + SQLAlchemy models, with the Professional tier adding deploy scripts, CI/CD, multi-tenant patterns, Redis, workers, and more. A one-time $29 (Starter) or $79 (Professional), no subscription.

The Standalones

Three more tools don't belong to either pipeline — they solve their own self-contained problems, for their own audiences.

$29 · $59 · one-time

PicSift

A forensic-grade photo and video deduplicator for the desktop — three-tier duplicate detection, quality-based keeper selection, shoot grouping, and a quarantine-and-rollback safety net so nothing is ever deleted out from under you. A one-time purchase: $29 for a single PC, $59 for unlimited PCs.

Free · $9.99 one-time · $24.99/mo

PostPilot

An AI social-content tool: generate on-brand posts from a brand profile, review and queue them, and — on the Unlimited plan — auto-post to X on a schedule. Free tier includes three lifetime preview credits; the Starter one-time $9.99 unlocks 30 generations.

Free trial · $49.99/mo · $99.99/mo

Chiave

The one B2B product in the lineup: a software licensing and activation platform for developers who sell their own apps — license-key generation, customer management, activation validation, and audit logs. A 30-day free trial with no card required, then $49.99/mo (Starter) or $99.99/mo (Unlimited), with annual billing available.

A Couple of Notes on the Shelf

Two things worth knowing as you scan the list. First, the Developer Labs — Brand Token Studio, API Contract Lab, and Mock Data Lab — are the three genuinely free, browser-based on-ramps that sit at the front of the two pipelines; no account required to use them. Second, several of these tools grew out of the same lineage as Bravura, our Python GUI framework heritage — a one-line mention here rather than a card, since the lineup above is what's actively on the shelf for building web products today.

The Two Through-Lines

Read top to bottom, the catalog has a consistent shape. The tools that produce something you keep — a backend, a desktop app, a kit of components — lean toward one-time, own-it pricing: ShipKit and PicSift are buy-once, UI Kit Packs and the Starter tiers are one-time credits. The tools that run an ongoing service — unlimited generation, scheduled posting, a live licensing platform — carry a subscription, because that's what they actually cost to run. And the front door to both pipelines is free, by design. That's the lineup as of mid-2026: a design pipeline, a backend pipeline, and three standalones, priced by what they are rather than by what the market will bear. We'll update this catalog next quarter — same shelf, refreshed prices.

Start Free, Own What You Build

Three free Developer Labs, free tiers on the generators, and buy-once foundations for the things you keep. Pick the pipeline that matches what you're building and start where you like.
