Dev mode pricing

Can I buy one Figma Seat with one dummy email and share the credentials with the other developers will that work ?or only one can log into it. I mean how many people can work on one seat and how many can log in ?

I’m not even using devmode for 95% of my work, and this whole change in licensing/sharing projects with many smaller clients is devastating. The cost is astronomical - and in some cases like 400% of the cost of equivalent Adobe products.

I know this has been brought up before, specifically here Dev mode pricing

But we’ve just had another Config and yet we’re still paying additional seats to have developers use dev mode. As one person mentioned, the last thing a developer wants to spend money on, is Figma, they’d rather spend it on other dev tools like Visual Studio subscriptions and a designer or ceo does not want to pay £22 pm for a developer to see dev mode.

This is a huge problem and Figma will lose customers when competition comes around.

While i’m hear and mentioning Config 24, What is sldies all about, ‘powerpoint’, are these needed when in design mode we can create interactive prototypes. So many people loving the slides idea but shouldn’t we just be doing this in interative prototypes, I feel like there targetting another market here. I’ll also mention in my opinion FigJam, im not using it. It’s a nice idea to have a wireframing kit / scribble board, but with that pricing its ridiculous, so I just use Figma as intended.

It’s too expensive. I don’t even entertain trying to convince my employer paying for it. The value just isn’t there. Figma knows this and doesn’t care.

Time to start moving away from all ADOBE software, and I mean Affinity products for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Now just looking for a Figma replacement. Bad move Figma - the dev value for hex colors and sizes is just not there for $$$ dev mode.

Absolutely frustrated like all of you. Even on FigJam, which is a short-term brainstorming tool, I can no longer open a seat because it would be too expensive! Sometimes we have hefty bills because I authorized two people as editor before putting them back as a viewer.

Any news about this? Any answers of FIGMA??? Its hilarous to pay so much just to hand over some specs! The only solution here is probably Zeplin.io

just doing my bi-monthly search for Dev Mode pricing for Professional plan, and landing here again.

This setup is super unfriendly for teams with lots of devs. No way I can tell my boss to buy 50 extra Dev Mode licenses—it’s tripled our bill. I’m trying out Penpot and Motiff instead; their pricing actually gives me some relief.

Well, I guess everybody already know the news about new pricing and billing model starting on march 11, 2025. The problem is partially solved with dev mode being able to be bought as professional plan altought the amount of $12 still a little pricy in my opinion.
