Transferring of Monthly to Annual Seat

Hi Figma Support,

I’d like to ask if it’s possible to transfer an existing annual seat to a user who is currently assigned a monthly seat, without incurring an additional charge.

Our current setup is:

  • Person A: Annual seat

  • Person B: Annual seat

  • Person C: Monthly seat

  • Total: 3 seats

We would like to remove Person B from our Figma subscription entirely by November 5, 2026, before the next monthly billing. Instead of releasing Person B’s annual seat, we’d like to transfer that existing annual seat to Person C, who is currently on a monthly seat.

Our intended setup would therefore be:

  • Person A: Annual seat

  • Person B: Removed

  • Person C: Annual seat

  • Total: 2 annual seats

Since Person B will be removed from the subscription and Person C is already an existing monthly seat, we’d like to ask if Figma can reassign Person B’s existing annual seat to Person C without charging us for an additional seat or requiring us to purchase another annual seat.

Our annual subscription renewed on September 7, 2026. Could you also confirm how this change would affect our billing, particularly whether there would be any prorated charges, credits, or adjustments?

We’d appreciate your guidance on whether this can be accommodated and the steps we should follow.

Thank you!

    Hey ​@Patrish G, thanks for reaching out! 

    This kind of change is generally possible without needing to purchase a new seat. When a seat is removed (or downgraded to a free View seat) from the People tab, it becomes available, and an admin can then assign that now-available seat to someone else from the same tab. In your case, that would mean moving Person C onto the seat Person B vacates, rather than leaving them on their own separate one. You can check anyone's current billing arrangement using the Billing cycle column on the People tab.

    Since your situation involves your specific renewal date and the November 5 timing you mentioned, the exact way this lands on your invoice, including whether any proration applies isn't something I can confirm without looking at your account directly. I'd recommend reaching out through the Support Hub so our customer support team can walk through the sequencing with you and make sure it plays out the way you're expecting before you make any changes.

    In the meantime, this article covers how seat removal and reassignment work together: Manage billing on the Professional plan.

     

    Hope this helps!
