Figma pricing starts at free for the Starter plan and runs to $90 a month for an Enterprise Full seat, as of October 2026, on Figma’s own pricing page. In between sit Professional at $16 a month and Organization at $55 a month. Figma sells seats, not products, so the cost depends on your plan and seat type, and on the number of people on your team.
This guide explains every tier, what each seat buys, how credits work, and which option fits which kind of designer. It also covers the free route for students and educators, plus honest ways to spend less. Every figure comes from the vendor’s own pages, read on 21 October, and prices can change at any time.
Key takeaways
- The tiers are Starter (free), Professional, Organization and Enterprise. Each paid tier sells Full, Dev and Collab seats, and viewing and commenting is free.
- The top seat is $16 a month on Professional, $55 on Organization and $90 on Enterprise. Organization and Enterprise plans are billed annually.
- Verified students and educators can get Figma free through the education route. The vendor sells no single product on its own, so the seat sets the cost.

How much is the cost of Figma?
The short answer is $16 to $55 a month per person for most teams, because Professional and Organization are the tiers most customers pick. Starter is free, and Enterprise is for companies that need custom workspaces.
The Figma cost per seat is the starting point, not the final bill. The Professional tier has a Monthly and an Annual switch, and Figma’s help centre lists the euro price at €16 on an annual subscription and €20 on a monthly one. Expect the monthly route to cost more than the annual plan, and check the switch for the Figma price in your currency.
Free plan: Figma Starter and free Figma access
Starter is a free Starter plan for personal projects and for anyone who wants to explore Figma. It includes unlimited drafts, UI kits and templates, 150 AI credits a day up to 500 a month, and 30 days of version history. A Starter account has a single team with one folder and 3 files, according to Figma’s help centre. Figma says the Starter plan is free and will stay available.
Auto layout, components and prototypes sit in the Figma editor on every tier, Starter included. The same goes for Figma Community resources such as plugins and templates.
Figma Professional, the Organization tier and Enterprise
Professional
The Figma Professional plan costs $16 a month for the top seat, $12 for a developer seat and $3 for a collaborator seat. Figma describes it as the choice for professionals working solo or with others. It adds unlimited files and projects for a single team, team-wide design libraries, advanced prototyping tools, unlimited version history, and inspection with the MCP server.
Figma Organization plan
Organization costs $55 a month for the top seat, billed annually, with developer seats at $25 and collaborator seats at $5. It is for businesses that design products across the company and need basic security. It adds shared libraries and fonts, centralized admin tools, single sign-on, activity logs, branching and merging, and Code Connect. Each top seat includes 3,500 credits a month.
Figma Enterprise
Enterprise is $90 a month for the top seat, billed annually, with developer seats at $35 and collaborator seats at $5. It adds custom team workspaces, theming and APIs for a design system, and SCIM seat management, with 4,250 credits a month. You reach it through Figma’s sales team.
Seat types: Full, Dev and Collab
Each seat opens a different set of products.
- Full seat: access to every product, including Figma Design, Figma Make, Figma Draw, Dev Mode, FigJam and Figma Slides.
- Dev seat: full access to Dev Mode, FigJam and Figma Slides, plus view and comment access in Figma Design files.
- Collab seat: full access to FigJam and Figma Slides, with only basic inspection in Dev Mode.
On a paid plan you can also let other people view and comment on your Figma files without purchasing extra seats. The free View seat is meant for reviewers and stakeholders.
Dev Mode, design system and Figma AI features by seat
A seat opens more than the design editor. Figma lists Figma Design, Figma Make, Figma Draw, Dev Mode, FigJam and Figma Slides alongside several beta products. Figma Motion and Figma Sites are in beta on Full seats, Figma Specs is in beta on paid seats, and Figma Buzz is in beta on every seat. Figma Motion animates on a timeline or with its AI agent, and Figma’s AI features run on credits. Figma Dev Mode translates designs into code for developers.
AI credits: how Figma credits work
Figma runs one credit system shared across its AI tools and products, and each seat includes a monthly allotment. A Full seat gets 3,000 credits on Professional, 3,500 on Organization and 4,250 on Enterprise. Every other seat, and every Starter user, gets 500 credits a month. If you need more, an admin can purchase additional AI credits for the plan. Figma’s help centre has a guide on how AI credits work.
What changes the Figma price and how Figma charges
These three levers decide the final bill.
- Seat mix. A developer who only inspects designs needs a $12 seat, not a $16 one. Reviewers can use free View access.
- Billing cycle. Professional can be paid monthly or annually. On an annual subscription, a seat added mid-year is billed as a separate monthly subscription at the monthly price until you add it to the annual term. Figma’s help centre covers billing on the Professional plan in its own article.
- Approval. On Professional, an admin approves new paid seats, and the cost joins the next monthly invoice, prorated. On the two upper tiers, admins need to approve new seats that incur costs.
Cancelling a subscription
On Professional, an admin can downgrade or cancel from the Admin Dashboard. On the two upper tiers, you contact Figma’s sales team to downgrade or cancel.
Figma for education: the free Education plan
Figma says its design tools are free for students, educators and schools. Teachers and students over 13 can sign up, verify their status and get free access to the Professional tier. Higher education institutions and bootcamps qualify for Professional, and K-12 districts qualify for Enterprise. Admins can manage and deploy Figma licenses through the Google Admin Console or Microsoft Education. Figma offers a discount for schools and classrooms, according to its pricing page. To see what the plan includes, read our guide to what Figma education accounts include.
Which option suits your design tool needs?
Choose the right plan by looking at who needs to edit and who only needs to look. The right Figma plans match the work, not the size of the team.
- Exploring Figma or working on a personal project: the free tier is enough.
- A freelancer or a small team that needs unlimited files and shared libraries: Professional, with the top seat for designers.
- Developers who inspect and hand off designs: the $12 developer seat on Professional.
- A company with several teams that needs single sign-on and shared fonts: Organization.
- A business with multiple products or brands, custom workspaces and SCIM: Enterprise.
Get started with Figma for less: ways to pay less
There are four honest routes. They differ in cost and in what you give up.
- Start on Starter. It covers personal projects at no cost.
- Use the Education route if you are a student or educator in a structured classroom.
- Buy the right seats. Give reviewers View access and developers the cheaper seat.
- Use a DigitaVision account. The Figma Edu Personal account is a private login of your own on the education tier, set up by our team, at $15.00 for 2 years of access, paid once with no renewal. It lists the top seat with 3,000 monthly AI credits.
The account usually opens in 2 to 4 hours, up to 24 hours in rare cases, and you sign in to Figma in the browser or the Figma app like any other user, with your own Figma account. It suits design students, self-taught UI and UX designers and freelancers building a portfolio. DigitaVision is not affiliated with Figma, and this is not an official Figma purchase. Support runs every day from 8 AM to 3 AM Bangladesh time, and if what you buy does not work, you get your money back or a replacement. If you run client work for a company that needs admin controls, buy Professional or Organization from Figma.
How Figma compares: Figma pricing against Penpot and Sketch

Sketch offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card, and then a subscription or a one-time Mac-only license. Check each on its own pricing page for current figures.
