Figma Pricing (2026): Seats, Plans and AI Credits
Figma is free on the Starter plan, and a Professional Full seat costs $16 a month billed yearly (about $20 billed monthly). Cheaper seats exist for people who do not design: a Dev seat is $12 and a Collab seat $3 a month on yearly billing. Organization ($55 per Full seat) and Enterprise ($90 per Full seat) are billed annually only. Viewers and commenters are free on every paid plan.
You pay per seat, and the seat decides what you can use. Only a Full seat gets complete access to Figma Design, Figma Make and Figma Sites. Every seat includes AI credits: 3,000 to 4,250 a month on Full seats and 500 on others. Most individual designers need one Professional Full seat. Prices are in US dollars from Figma's pricing page as of 25 September 2026.

What you will actually pay
Worked examples using the published prices above.
| Scenario | Cost | How we got there |
|---|---|---|
| Solo designer on one Professional Full seat | $192/year billed yearly; about $240/year billed monthly | $16 x 12 = $192 on yearly billing; about $20 x 12 = $240 on monthly billing. Includes 3,000 AI credits a month for Figma Make and AI tools. |
| Startup: 2 designers, 3 developers, 5 product and marketing people on Professional | $83/month ($996/year) billed yearly | 2 Full seats x $16 = $32, 3 Dev seats x $12 = $36, 5 Collab seats x $3 = $15, total $83 a month, x 12 = $996. AI credits: 2 x 3,000 + 8 x 500 = 10,000 a month, held per person. Stakeholders who only view and comment can be free viewers instead of Collab seats, which would save $180 a year. |
| Company with 10 designers and 10 developers on Organization | $800/month ($9,600/year), billed annually | 10 Full seats x $55 = $550 plus 10 Dev seats x $25 = $250, total $800 a month, x 12 = $9,600. Adds SSO, shared libraries across teams and Code Connect. Designers get 3,500 credits each a month. |
| Five-designer team: yearly versus monthly billing on Professional | $960/year billed yearly versus about $1,200/year billed monthly | 5 x $16 x 12 = $960 against 5 x about $20 x 12 = $1,200, so yearly billing saves about $240. |
Figma pricing compared with rivals
| Tool | Paid plans from | Free plan | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Figma | $3/month (Collab seat) or $16/month (Full seat), Professional, billed yearly | Yes: Starter, with 3 team files and up to 500 AI credits a month | The tool on this page |
| Penpot | Free (Professional); Unlimited $7/editor/month, capped at $175/month | Yes: cloud plan for up to 8 team members, plus free self-hosting | Open-source design tool; the cheapest way to get Figma-style collaboration, but little built-in AI. |
| Sketch | $12/editor/month billed yearly (Standard); $120 one-time Mac-only licence | No: 30-day free trial | Native Mac app with offline work; no Windows app. |
| Framer | $10/month per site billed yearly (Basic); extra editors $20/month | Yes: Framer subdomain and 500 AI credits | Priced per published site, not per designer; better hosting than Figma Sites. |
| v0 | $30/user/month (Plus) | Yes: $5 of credits a month, 7 messages a day | Prompt-to-React code for developers rather than a design canvas. |
| Uizard | $12/month billed yearly (Pro) | Yes: 2 projects and 3 AI generations a month | Simple AI mock-ups for non-designers; far less depth than Figma. |
For anyone who designs with a team, Figma's Professional plan is good value. $16 a month on yearly billing buys the industry-standard design tool, Figma Make and 3,000 AI credits, and the cheap Dev ($12) and Collab ($3) seats keep costs down for the rest of the team. Free viewers mean stakeholders cost nothing.
The weak spot is AI volume. Figma's own examples put a Make app generation at 100+ credits, so a Dev or Collab seat's 500 credits covers five builds at most, and heavy Make users on Full seats will also need add-ons. Organization at $55 a seat is a big step up and mostly buys admin, SSO and cross-team libraries. If you only need a website, Framer is cheaper per site; if you want free and open-source, try Penpot.

Discounts and cancelling
Eligible students and educators get Figma for Education free, and Figma has a separate plan for government teams. On Professional you can downgrade or cancel yourself from the admin dashboard; on Organization and Enterprise you must contact sales. There is no option to buy single products such as FigJam alone; you choose a plan and seat types instead.
- Pay yearly. A Professional Full seat drops from about $20 to $16 a month, saving about $48 per designer each year.
- Give engineers Dev seats ($12) and product managers Collab seats ($3) instead of Full seats, and leave people who only review as free viewers.
- When you add a seat mid-year on Professional, move it onto your annual subscription in the admin settings; otherwise it keeps billing at the monthly price.
- Set per-person AI credit limits before enabling pay-as-you-go, so one heavy Make user cannot run up the team's bill.
- Use cheaper image models such as ChatGPT Images 2.0 (2 credits) for drafts and save Nano Banana 2 (16 credits) for final images.
