Add Dev Mode To Professional Subscription separately from design seat

Folks I think our prayers have been answered.
There’ll be a Dev Seat for Professional plans (not sure if without edit rights this time).

These changes will take effect starting on March 11, 2025

Please pass this on to the decision makers, in case they’re really that disconnected from the Pro plan customers/audience that they don’t see the importance of it:

We’re a SMB, so we don’t have enterprise-level workload and budget to get the org/enterprise plan. With that said, we’re fine with forking out whatever a full-seat cost for devs to access Dev Mode. But most devs don’t design regularly; they certainly don’t live in Figma on a daily basis. That means with full edit access, they can easily unknowingly mess up the design. One accident can be detrimental to our business.

I like Figma so much and I sincerely hope Figma hasn’t become tone deaf to their customers the way Adobe has.

Is there really not a fix for this? This is either a critical bug or an intention feature but it doesn’t support the design/dev process in any way. Please provide an update and hopefully a solution. No designer or person who has ever worked in design would have ever allowed this.

This right here. I’m anxiously awaiting the Dev Seat so I can stop locking everything. For now, this means hoping that the devs don’t change or delete anything by accident.

Very annoying. I am part of 1 designer 3 developers team. We dont need anything above professional plan, but we are happy with dev mode functionalities. Cant blame them, but developers keep breaking some designs without noticing they’re on the design not dev mode.  PLEASE CHANGE IT
