Figma pricing in 2025

Figma has evolved significantly since its early days as a free tool. Here's a clear breakdown of what each plan costs and what you actually get.

Figma's pricing plans

Free (Starter) — $0

Figma's free plan is genuinely useful and not deliberately crippled. You get unlimited personal drafts, the full design and prototyping toolset, and up to 3 collaborative team projects. For a solo designer, a student, or someone learning Figma, this is sufficient.

Key limits: 3 team projects maximum, 30-day version history, FigJam limited to 3 boards.

Who it's for: Individual designers, students, and freelancers working on a small number of projects.

Figma Professional — $15/editor/month

Removes the project cap, extends version history, adds private projects, and unlocks advanced prototyping. This is the right tier for freelancers who need unlimited projects and small studios working together.

Who it's for: Freelancers with multiple active clients, small design teams (2–10 people).

Figma Organisation — $45/editor/month

Adds centralised team management, SSO, private plugins, and organisation-wide libraries. The price jump is significant and is really aimed at larger companies that need centralised governance.

Who it's for: Companies with 20+ designers who need centralised administration.

Figma Enterprise — Custom pricing

Adds dedicated support, SLA guarantees, advanced security controls, and guest access management.

Is Figma Dev Mode included?

Dev Mode is available for free as a viewer role. Your engineering team doesn't need to pay for Figma to access designs — developers can inspect, copy CSS, and export assets at no cost.

Figma vs competitors on price

Sketch costs $10/editor/month or $120 one-time (Mac only).
Adobe XD is included in Creative Cloud subscriptions (from $60/month for the full suite).
Framer starts at $15/month for basic sites.

How to reduce your Figma bill

Use viewer seats for stakeholders, developers, and non-designers. Only the people actively designing need editor seats. A team of 3 designers and 10 developers reviewing work only needs 3 paid seats.
