Educational & Professional Plans

Hey @Ulfa! Can you clarify a bit more?

Are you trying to upgrade an additional team you have to a pro plan? If that’s the case, you can actually have more than one team with the education plan as long as your student status is verified.

See this page for details: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041061214-Verify-education-status#teams

If I misunderstood, let me know.

I actually want to upgrade another team to a pro plan because now we are dealing with external party who is not student (thus their design seat needs to be a paid version). I am worried if I lose my educational plan file access. Any advise?

Got it! You shouldn’t have a problem upgrading another team to a standard professional one – you won’t lose your student status or access to your student team 😁

Hello, I was wondering whether the student/educational account is same as the professional plan? Does both have the same features? Because I do not see much difference between them. Let me kindly know if you know the differences .

@samira.designworks Yes – with the Education plan, you get all Figma Professional plan features for free, including unlimited teams, projects, files, collaborators, and version history. You can also create design systems with shared libraries.

The only difference between education vs. pro plans are the billing portions – verified qualifying users who can sign up for education plans will get all features of the Figma Pro license at no cost for 2 years.

@ksn Does it really get unlimited teams? I’m under the educational plan now, and am only allowed one.

Hey @Sean_Meiser! The process can be a bit confusing, but you can have as many teams as you want as a verified education user.

Education verification gives you the option to create education teams, but it does not make all teams education teams by default.

You be able to Go to create new team > choose pro > select ‘education team’.

Let me know if you still have trouble with this.

@ksn Hello 👋🏾 Ma’am, I Have Doubts Of “New Figma Ai Update With All Ai & Other Features With Full Access Will Roll Out In/For Figma Educational/Professional Plan?”

hi @Ruchit! Sorry if I’m misunderstanding, but are you asking if these features will be available to everyone with educational/professional teams?

If so, AI features in Figma are available for people with those plans. HOWEVER, it is in beta, and you must sign up for out waitlist. Once you are accepted into the beta, you will then see the new UI and AI features.

Let me know if you have additional questions.
