I am outraged. How do you imagine I allow all my devs to be full-seats and give them the ability to edit designs? How about design ownership? In a day all devs lost their inspect tool, and the only way to get it back is to move to Org Plan or give them a full seat risking to get full chaos in design ownership. Any suggestions on how your teams ar planning to overcome this?

So on a Professional Plan, I give them ‘member’ status attracting the ¢15 a month fee, but then set them to ‘can view’ and they can still access all of DEV mode?

The pricing is one thing, but WHY we can’t define the dev mode in dev mode only, even at 15$/month?

We are 3 designers for 30 developers, granting full design edit to 30 non-designers project-wide, including mockup and company main design and components system is just crazy and unresponsible. This will be chaotic at best.

And for the pricing… well I’m a freelance designer, and paying for other 1-5 freelance designers for each one of my clients teams is already harsh, but if I have to pay for 10-30 developers on top of that, at full price… well… (No, my client can’t pay themselves, they are public administrations that know nothing of Figma, working with contractors and can’t pay with credit cards, and can’t pay without proper invoices.

I’m stuck and don’t know what to do.

+1 on this. My bill just had an extra “Design Seat” added after i shared a file with a freelance developer. I never even had to accept it, i only found out cause my bill was double up for Professional tier. Very infuriating, since i used to hold the Figma team in high regard, but now i feel cheated.

Hey guys,
Is there a way to allow a developer to enter Dev Mode without them having the Edit rights? I’m afraid they’re gonna mess up something, primarily because they don’t know Figma at a design level.
Thanks 🙂
