Question

New Dev Mode seat pricing is unacceptable, what do we do now?

This new pricing model for Dev Mode $35/seat/month just to inspect already finished designs is so out of touch with reality, I have no words.

We have an enterprise Figma license and we capped Editor seats to a minimum because it’s hard to sell to C-level. This limits UX maturity and spread of Figma usage in product development across the whole org.

We have about 4x as much full-stack developers as we have designers, who OCCASIONALLY need to inspect designs. How the bleep are we supposed to sell those seats to C-level executives?

This is completely unrealistic and limits not only spread of Figma usage, but design-led product development in our org even more.

If we are to keep Figma, all of our designers are left with one option, to extensively micro-document each design for devs to read as a book. Losing huge chunk of our UX time.

What a self-destructing pricing strategy from Figma. What do we do now?

    Dev mode pricing and variables are very badly “designed.”

    But we have cat cursors now, which is good.

    Not only is the price scheme risen to Adobe levels - but the fact that Monthly Seats were automatically converted to Yearly Seats after the new price model was introduced is totally not acceptable!
