questions
Can AI replace Lanhu / 蓝湖?

Kinda. The core of Lanhu / 蓝湖 is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: Sketch/Figma import depth, dev measure tools. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does Lanhu / 蓝湖 cost?

Lanhu / 蓝湖 costs about $20/month (Team, checked 2026-08-05), which is $240 per year.

What do I lose by replacing Lanhu / 蓝湖?

Honestly: Sketch/Figma import depth; dev measure tools; org permissions. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Lanhu / 蓝湖?

No mature open-source alternative worth pointing at — which is exactly why the one-shot prompt on this page exists.
