Hi all,
I know this is not my business and i should go with the politics Figma forces to me or i can freely use Axure or any other tool.
But i would like to share my opinion about the Figma monetization.
I am solo developer using bunch of tools all the time to create my personal project. Lately subscription based SaaS solution band wagon is taking off like crazy. Turn left - i should pay subscription, turn right - the same story.
The problem is … i am not using those tools DAILY.
Nor Figma, nor MS Excel, nor many other tools.
But paying for just to keep the account and its data even if i am not using it for months, does not feel right. All those SaaSes these days counts up. And every SaaS thinks that 5-10$ is not a big deal. It is not! If taken alone. But if you are the full-stack developer, who uses like 20 different tools time by time then paying up to 200$ monthly for things you are not using daily… its too much for me. Regardless that everybody thinks that developers makes a ton of money.
What i would like to have is to pay for the Figma projects i own or participate. For example i am OK to pay for the project like 15-20 Eur per year and probably a couple Eur for the additional editor seats. But within those 20 Eur i can do whatever i want. As many pages as i want. But also i would like to have team library support within the same project for project organization purposes.
For me 144 Eur or 15-20 Eur is a huge difference.
I dont need a option to make gazillion of projects for 144 Eur. I need a option to manage and to own single project.
If i would be IT company or design studio with bunch of customers i definitely would be OK with the current politics.
Until that… seems to me that Axure is much better option for me even if its initial cost is much higher and prototyping options much wider.
