We are updating our pricing, seats, and billing experience. Here’s what you need to know before changes take effect on March 11, 2025. Product design looks very different today than it did when we first launched Figma in 2016. Multiplayer design was still a novel concept, and features that are now core to our product - auto layout, interactive components, variables, and multi-edit - were just ideas we hoped to one day build. While our features and products have expanded since then, our billing experience hasn’t kept pace. Today, we want to share upcoming changes to our pricing, seats, and billing experience. These changes will take effect starting on March 11, 2025, and will include: Increased pricing for Figma Design Re-architecture of our billing model - we are moving away from user-driven upgrades to giving admins upfront approval over seat upgrades by default More functionality with every seat - all paid seats will include access to FigJam and Figma Slides, making it easier for ev

For users on a Starter or Professional team, we’re relocating where your drafts live. Starting this week, you’ll be asked to move your drafts into a team space. If you’re on a Starter or Pro team, here’s what to expect: Your drafts are now in a space called “Drafts to move.” You can move your drafts at once into the appropriate teams—or create a free Starter team for all your drafts. When you move your drafts to a team, they will still be private. You will still be able to create and edit drafts free of charge. You may not see this prompt immediately, as we’ll be rolling out this update over the next few days. Check out the video, below, for a walk-through of this update.
