Would anyone feels the same bout the dev mode pricing that is 35$ in an enterprise plan where you can have more than 75% of the available features useless when you have an operable design system?

@figma What would it cost to simply have the inspect working?

Frustrated about your direction. Hope massively people will not adopt it.

Oke, it’s a stupid thing. Why are you forced to buy more seats if you have 1 (one) designer and 5 (five) developers on your team? It may be a moment to switch back to Adobe XD. Yes, its worst but it’s much cheaper!

It’s too expensive…stop!

For our team we want Dev mode only seats on our Professional plan. Because if we give a design seat with Design Editor permissions there’s always a chance that the developers will make unwanted changes to the design. Which is a very big issue.

Will I be able to set Design roles to “viewer-restricted” for Editor seats, but enable Dev Mode for them at the same time?

This is outrageously expensive, you shouldn’t have to pay at least 25$/month to see the spacing between elements. Unbelievable.

No, that’s what’s upsetting, there’s no split between design and development seats in the professional plan, only paid Figma seats allow you to see Dev-mode. This means that, if you want to give access to your developers, you are giving them full design access and paying for their seats as much as you are for your designers’.

I’m still trying hard to imagine how the Figma meeting where they approved all this changes was. So random, so inaccurate.

What happens if we have external developers who we share the design with. Do we have to pay for their seats? just so they can have DEV mode. Some have a paid subscription, but it is useless, we have to pay for them to access DEV mode. Figma is charging 2 times.

Makes no sense.

This makes no sense!
We have 2 editors seats and our designs are shared (view-only) among 7 others developers. Our cost would increase from $24 (2x Professional seats) to $310 (3x Minimum Organization seats $135 + 7 Dev seats $175).

If we had only 9 Professional seats, the cost would be $108. They would be enabled to see everything in Dev mode we could, but there’s no option to “block” their changes on Design mode? That’s ridiculous

It’s a similar situation in our company. We had long discussions and negotiations with the management until we finally adopted Figma for all Designers. The move to now also have Developers pay comes at a bad time and we as Designers are worried how long we still can use Figma - our Company won’t buy additional licenses for Developers, that’s for sure, and if we would have to it would be impossible for us to argue for it in the future… a real bummer and I agree it will lead to people leaving Figma.
