Dev mode pricing

Not only the pricing is a joke but also that Figma only allows Dev-Mode in combination with edit rights. Like wtf aren’t you aware, that teams also work with external contractors (= engineers / developers)? They should not automatically have rights to edit a file. Not just because they do not need or want it but also because of many other reasons (errors, security issues, …).

This is the worst decision ever, I agree that at some points “Dev Mode” should be paid but, $25 / $35 per seat?! This needs to be reviewed as soon as possible or Figma will lose a lot of users. This is the best time for competitors to strike!

It’s time for the new app is there any alternative for Figma.
I have just used this for it have dev mode.
I think now it’s better not use Figma.

Looking for alternatives as well. A promising open-source one is Penpot.

It’s ridiculous for them to paywall a core feature of the program. Will it cost $20/mo for drawing circles next? The free mode limitations have always been unnecessarily annoying, but this has made me quit using Figma. Please look at how other companies do team & enterprise pricing for some inspiration! 🙂

This is a Figma killer decision !!

Figma - CAN YOU PLEASE give the ability to disable Edit access for Developers using Dev Mode on the Professional Pricing Tier - This is causing major problems with erroneous changes to design files. My team is seriously looking at alternatives like PenPot.

With this decision, Figma will no longer be useful for us. We only have 3 designers but many developers in different teams. If the developers can no longer use our designs without needing a paid account for each of them, we will probably have to switch back to XD. Too bad, I really liked Figma…

Another alternative which is very similar to Figma is Pixso.

Terrible move by Figma.

I’ve been trying Pixso for the past day or so and feel its just as good or maybe better then Figma already. It definitely feels faster. Im most likely moving that way.
