It would be great if the professional plan offered more than 4 variable modes. Right now I want to set up a mode for each component size-- XS - XL, 5 sizes all together-- which puts me over the 4 limit for pro, but well under the 40 limit for enterprise, which is a quantity I will never need. And there’s no use case for enterprise at all for a team our size.

I think 10-12 modes for pro would be perfect to give small teams like mine room to grow before we reach the scale where an enterprise plan would be worth consideration.

It’s finally here - mode count updates across Pro and Org.

Pro → 10
Org → 20

I want to thank everyone who posted in this thread - we used a lot of the responses here to inform the mode increase decision. Happy theme swapping y’all :)

At my company, one of our services is a white label product, for which we offer personalized UI service to many customers who require tweaks and different features. It’s impossible to work on a design system for each of them. And it’s very unfair that Figma has a solution for this with Modes, but doesn’t take into account this sort of (very basic) needs!

Are we all just yelling into the void here? There’s been over 7 months of well-reasoned grievances described here, and no updates or even attempts try to provide a justification for this nonsense?

Completeley agree, 4 modes just gets you hooked in using variables but barely makes them really useful if not for Dark/Light mode in colors.

Using variables for dimensions based on responsive breakpoints already leaves you short of at least a few breakpoints for professional work.

At least 10 modes should be provided on the Professional plan.

Is there any update to this?

There’s so many things you can do with variable modes that isn’t just global app/site themes, and a lot of those use cases needs more than 4 modes. 10 would be a good bare-minimum for pro imo…

Do we have any updates on this one?

I’ve seen nothing from Figma except their terribly priced Dev seats and news that another conference is coming in June. I certainly hope they don’t wait that long to UNLOCK THE MODES! UNLOCK THE MODES!

If our team wasn’t so annoyed by this absurd limitation, this whole farce would almost be funny. And the longer we wait for any reasonable response from Figma the worse it gets.

The worst part though… We have an Organisation plan and pay a premium for that. Yet we’re still limited to 4 Modes. It’s a transparently shady business model and it should be abundantly clear by now that your users are aware it’s shady. Please do something about it or at least admit that you’re sticking to your guns so we can have some closure and give up all hope in what could have been a great design feature for us.
