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

Totally agree. 

For a basic website 5 modes at least covering typography changes across breakpoints. 
 

4 is such a random number, and if your recommending people hacks on how to get by then… just give the people more modes. 🤷‍♂️ 

I don’t understand why the Organization plan only has 4 variable modes, I saw a lot of comments on this and nothing has changed… Considering that the Entreprise plan has 40 modes, the Organization plan should have at least 12 or 20 no ?

This is such an arbitrary and artificial limitation that is purely done out of greed, making your otherwise good product unusable.

Whoever is doing pricing strategy at Figma, this is how you start the downfall of a company, by losing the trust of the community.

Well, it didn‘t! 😂

Why is there even a limitation at all on modes?

Is is completely random and artificial just in order to justify pricing tiers, this is dirty business practice 101.

Imagine if there was a limit on how many frames you can have on a page on a figma file, just as random.

Stop asking for more modes, ask for unlimited modes!

😡

This is really poor practice. Sort it out Figma. Very disappointed.

Just a reminder for Figma: Don’t underestimate the power of OpenSource.

PenPot is gaining traction. Look at Blender3D.

You are replaceable, and quickly too.

Friendly advice, don’t act shitty towards your community or else soon there will be none.

Where is Penpot at these days? Is there anything else coming up the pipeline? With the limit of modes and other issues with variables, I will probably need to look at some of the alternatives sooner rather than later. 

I’d check out their youtube, there you’ll surely find the latest news.

Adding myself here. We need to have more than 4 modes for 2 specific projects only but it doesn’t makes any sense for our team to go into an Organization plan as we won’t use any of the other features but just having more modes. It definitely doesn’t justify the extreme price increase on all seat types.

I wasn’t aware of such limitation until I tried to create a 5th mode on one of our shared design systems for a project, and it’s now being huge a blocker for us.

I don’t see a reason why such a feature would need to raise the price as much, given (and this is only my assumption) the impact is just storing a few more lines on a database per project, which is quite light (if not barely noticeable) in terms of costs for the product.
