I work as a single Design and Developer. So I want to buy only Dev mode without Full Seat. I don’t need Figma Slides and other features and need only Dev mode for my personal using.

Last month I bought only Dev mode for 15USD. This month I’ve got bill for 25 USD. What do they do that and how can I disable a Full seat and pay only for Dev mode?

Please help me if anyone had the same problem.

Hi ​@Anna Ihnatenko, thanks for reaching out! 
 

While you can sign up for a Professional plan with only a Dev seat, since Dev mode is a capability within Figma Design, upon creating a new Design file or any type of Design edit, you’ll be prompted to a full seat. 

I took a look at the email address associated with your Figma forum account, and it looks like when you did sign up to the Professional plan with a Dev Mode only seat last month, but once attempting to edit and/or create a new file a Full seat was added.

You can disable the Full seat and keep a Dev seat, but know that if you create a new Design file or try to edit again, you’ll be prompted to a full seat again.

As an alternative, it may be easier to disable the Dev seat and keep the Full seat, since the Full seat includes full access to all Figma products, including Dev Mode. Hope this helps clarify!
