My developer requested dev mode, I received an request and on screen accepted it and was told it would be $12. My developer still can’t see everything, the inspect panel is just gone. I can’t see what dev is even offering here?

Some more questions for you:
Does the file belong to a different team?
What are the settings under the “share” Button in the top right corner?

I am assuming your team is on a Professional plan?
Go to admin view of your Figma Team, go to Members and check if your Developer is a member of your team and has full access in the “Design seat” column of the Member view table. Also, inside design files the Dev-Mode Slider in the upper right corner needs to be checked (it turns green when it is active). Also you could just press Shift + D.

Hi, I’m on the Organizational Plan - do I need to now change plans too?
He is on full access in design.
Dev mode is on, and I can’t see anything even as the owner of the organization, other than my inspector is missing.

As far as I know, Organization plan offers dedicated Dev-Seats.
What you describe seems weird… Could you share a screensharing of being inside a design file, enabling Dev-Mode and clicking on an element to inspect?

As you can see the banner on the top wants me to get permissions for dev mode.

Interestingly if I create a new file i can see dev mode perfectly
