Aside vs stitch-skills: Features, Pricing & Which Is Better (2026)

A side-by-side comparison of Aside and stitch-skills — features, pricing, and ideal use cases — to help you decide which AI tool fits your workflow.

Aside

Aside Computer Inc.

Freemium

A Chromium desktop browser with a built-in agent that signs in and completes real work across your logged-in sites.

Agentic Browsing: The agent operates your logged-in websites directly - clicking, typing and navigating - so tasks that need no public API still get done.
Local Memory: Browsing history is distilled into on-device memory files so the agent already knows which tools and accounts a recurring task involves.
Agent Password Manager: Credentials are autofilled into pages through hardware-backed encryption and Secure Enclave storage, never handed to the model.
Human Approval Gates: Sensitive steps such as payments, posts and outbound messages pause for your confirmation before the agent proceeds.
Access Audit Log: Every credential use and scoped permission grant is recorded so you can see exactly what the agent touched and when.
Routines: Scheduled recurring tasks, such as a 9am daily briefing, run on their own and drop results back into the browser.
Bring Your Own Model: Connect an existing ChatGPT or Claude subscription or your own API key rather than paying twice for inference.
Sandboxed Execution: Filesystem and network access are isolated with guardrails so agent runs cannot reach beyond what the task needs.

Operations Backfill: Push the same record update through several internal dashboards that have no shared API.
Recruiting Prep: Reopen a candidate profile viewed yesterday and assemble interview notes from the sites already visited.
Inbox and Comment Triage: Draft replies, follow-ups and comment responses across email and social accounts under review.
Daily Briefing: Schedule a routine that gathers overnight metrics and trending topics into one morning summary.
Sales Research: Work through prospect sites and CRM screens to collect context before an outreach sequence.
Spreadsheet and Document Work: Have the agent edit local files and web spreadsheets as part of a longer task.

Open-source collection of agent skills and plugins for Google Stitch that plug into Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.

Cross-Agent Plugin Bundles: Ships stitch-design, stitch-build, and stitch-utilities as marketplace plugins that install into Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, or Gemini CLI.
Code to Design: Convert frontend code (React, Vue, etc.) into a Stitch design by extracting HTML, applying the design system, and uploading it to a Stitch project.
Generate Design: Create new screens from text or images, edit existing screens, and produce dark-mode or high-density design variants.
Design System Management: Upload a DESIGN.md and apply the theme across all screens in a Stitch project.
Extract Design MD: Scan a codebase and generate a comprehensive DESIGN.md describing the design system directly from source.
Static HTML Extraction: Capture self-contained static HTML from running web apps with CSS and images inlined for handoff.
React / React Native / shadcn Codegen: Convert Stitch designs to production-ready React components, React Native code, or shadcn/ui-integrated apps.
Remotion Walkthrough Videos: Generate video walkthroughs of a Stitch project with smooth transitions and zooming.

Migrating a Codebase to a Design System: Upload an existing frontend into Stitch to run a design migration project with consistent tokens and theming.
Rapid Screen Generation: Product teams generate mobile or web screens from short prompts and iterate on variants without leaving the coding agent.
Code Handoff from Design: Convert Stitch screens into React or React Native components so engineers can consume the design in the target framework.
Design System Extraction: Reverse-engineer a DESIGN.md from an existing repo to formalize implicit design tokens and share them across teams.
Design Reviews and Walkthroughs: Automatically produce video walkthroughs of a project to share with stakeholders and reviewers.
Agent-Native Workflows: Developers who live inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex install Stitch skills locally to drive design work from the same agent they use for coding.
