Honest comparison
Flocci Bento vs Bento Grid Generator — quick tool vs full studio
Bento Grid Generator (bento-generator.com) is a free in-browser tool for arranging bento cards and exporting images or JSON — quick and privacy-friendly, with no cloud accounts. Flocci Bento covers that job and extends it into a studio: cloud projects with autosave and version history, team roles, editable vector charts, 3D device mockups, rich typography, AI copy/image assist and PDF export alongside PNG/JPEG.

Frequently asked questions
When is a simple generator enough?
When you need a quick one-off grid image with basic cards and no follow-up editing. Simple generators are genuinely good at that, and bento-generator.com is free.
What does Flocci Bento add over free generators?
Persistence and depth: cloud projects with versions, team collaboration, real chart tiles, 3D device mockups, full typography control, AI assist and PDF export — the difference between a sketch tool and a studio.
Is Flocci Bento also free?
Free to design and save with no card; founder credits cover early exports, then output spends INR credits from the shared Flocci wallet.
Can I get CSS code out of Flocci Bento?
No — Bento produces designed artifacts (images, PDFs, shareable boards), not production CSS. If you need code output, CSS-generator tools like MakeItGrid or BentoCSS serve that job.
