The design industry has been abuzz about Figma since its launch in 2016. The web-based design platform has quickly gained popularity for its user-friendly interface and robust features. And best of all, it’s free to use!
But what does “free” really mean when it comes to Figma? Is the platform completely free to use, or are there some hidden costs? Let’s take a closer look at Figma’s pricing structure to find out.
Figma Free
Figma Free is the company’s free tier plan. With Figma Free, you can use all of the platform’s features for an unlimited time.
There are no restrictions on the number of projects you can work on or the number of team members you can invite. However, there are some limitations to be aware of.
First, with Figma Free you can only store three files at a time in your account. Once you reach the file limit, you won’t be able to create any new projects until you delete some of your existing files. This file limit is a bit of a hassle, but it’s not a huge dealbreaker.
The other major limitation of Figma Free is that you can only export projects as low-resolution PNG files. If you want to export your designs as high-resolution PDFs or SVGs, you’ll need to upgrade to one of Figma’s paid plans.
Figma Pro
Figma Pro is the company’s paid subscription plan. For $12 per month (or $108 per year), users get all of the features of Figma Free, plus unlimited file storage and high-resolution export options. With Figma Pro, you can also share linkable prototypes with team members and clients.
Figma Enterprise
Figma Enterprise is the company’s enterprise-level subscription plan. It includes all of the features of Figma Pro, plus a few additional features for large organizations. These features include single sign-on (SSO) support and unlimited workspace collaboration.
Conclusion
So, is Figma fully free? The answer is both yes and no.
While there are some limitations to the free plan, you can still use all ofFigmas core features without spending a dime. However, if you need more advanced features like high-resolution export or SSO support, you’ll need to sign up for one of the paid plans.
