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 everyone to collaborate

You’re increasing pricing while also making the UX less efficient. I would love to have been part of the meeting where the two sides of your org faught it out to be the one to annoy existing users more.

You’ve changed the UX for vanity reasons. Almost every piece of feedback indicates it’s killing productivity - and not just during a period of adjustment. Now you’re sticking your boot in under the guise of a “billing experience change”.

Cut to the chase. You need more cash due to Adobe flunking out. Fine. Honestly. But stop bundling stuff to justify price increases. If people aren’t paying, they don’t value them. Put that wasted energy into the things people ARE valuing.

*** I WOULD HAPPILY PAY MORE for the UX to remain as efficient as it was.

Just stop moving the cheese for the sake of it.

Conceptually I think the new plan categories make sense, but agree that the pricing for the dev seat is egregious relative to the value actually being delivered by that feature. I think at max it’s worth paying half of what a full seat costs, if that. Honestly, something between $5-$8–closer to what the collab pricing is–feels like a good sweet spot for it.

Edit: it would also be great if the price increase for professional includes an increase in available variable modes

Maybe before update this unnecessary thinks you can fixing bugs what we get in last half years? Glitches in Autolayout, Not working import for variables across the files, not working AI inside the Professional Plan?

But you update… This… Really?

It feels like Figma is overcomplicating its ecosystem with tools like FigJam and Slides. While they may have their use cases, they often seem more like distractions than genuine innovations. It’s hard to shake the feeling that these additions are designed to increase revenue rather than genuinely enhance the value for the core user base. Instead of introducing these tangential features, Figma should focus on perfecting the design experience that made it so indispensable in the first place.
