[LAUNCHED] All plans should offer more than 4 variable modes

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 :)

Just ran into this problem again for creating custom color modes for whitelabel clients.
4 modes are a joke. at least double that for professional or if you want to milk us make additional modes an upgrade package for a few bucks.
95% of the freelancers don’t need all the other feature of an enterprise option.

It literally feels like we’re screaming into a void here. This is such a pain point for so many people and no one from Figma even deems it important enough to chirp in.

Can the mods or @RizePoint_Product add “variable” tag on this thread?

If this is all a question about dev mode, then let us at least be able, as designers, to use variables (unlimited) to help us cut down on time wasted on creating multiple copies of styles and tons of component variants, tweaking minute things to satisfy variables in language, breakpoints, colour schemes, etc. Then, could you unlock the developer stuff separately?

Sad to see Figma doesn’t seem to care about their users’ real needs. I’m losing my mind trying to make the 4 modes work for a responsive setup. And it probably will never work as intended.
Rest assured, most freelancers and small to medium companies will never pay for the enterprise plan just to have more modes. The price per seat is absurd and they probably don’t need any of the other features in that plan. What will happen is designers from those companies will start to look for better alternatives and pitch them to their “head of”. Remember what happened to Sketch?.. I do! If you don’t solve this issue soon, someone else will. I’m very disappointed with Figma and won’t think twice about switching tools.

heeey!! Just me again asking for more modes for ALL plans not just professional - this is something that would greatly alleviate the pains of building a design system with variables. WE have a million compounded collections to make up for the lack of modes and its reallllllly painful

Team - I love you I love that you care about your product. I am literally just begging for unlimited modes on all plans, also focus on variables and making changes to them (better search, re-organizing, more scoping, potentially adding photos or icons). Variables have been a GAME CHANGER for our clients workflow but they will NEVER pay more money to give us more modes, along with my freelancing career I could not even afford to pay for more modes. Also - we do not need dev mode. JUST VARIABLE MODES and better variable functionality. If we could do that I would be so grateful. AGAIN - thank you all for your hard work but PLEASE

Same situation for us. We don’t need 100s of modes but 4 is definitely not enough. We are currently on the professional team plan, and I thought upgrading to Organization plan, which would double our cost, would give us more modes, but no, it is the same with only 4 modes??? We have to more than quadruple our cost to go beyond 4 modes… Please raise the cap on modes for organization to something that reflects the price increase. Maybe like 10 or 15 modes.

Thanks!
