Figma prices by seat type instead of one team fee. With the annual toggle selected, Professional costs $16 a month for a Full seat, $12 for a Dev seat and $3 for a Collab seat. Organization, billed annually, is $55, $25 and $5, and Enterprise is $90, $35 and $5. Starter is free with unlimited drafts, UI kits and templates, and 150 AI credits a day up to 500 a month. Figma says AI add-ons are available on all plans, and each paid seat includes a monthly AI credit allowance. Because developers and reviewers can sit on cheaper seats, the real bill depends on how many people actually design.
