๐Ÿ”„
February 2026: Figma restructured its plans. Dev Mode (previously +$25/editor/month) is now included in Professional at no extra cost. Starter plan was restricted to 3 Figma files (was unlimited). Net effect: better deal for Professional teams, worse for Starter.

Figma Pricing History (2024โ€“2026)

Plan restructure: Dev Mode included, Starter restricted February 2026
Figma rolled Dev Mode โ€” previously sold as a $25/editor/month add-on โ€” into the Professional tier at no extra cost. This was a significant value add for design teams. Simultaneously, Figma cut the Starter plan's file limit from unlimited to 3 files, pushing hobby/small teams to upgrade or hit a wall.

Starter plan files:Unlimitedโ†’3 Figma files
Dev Mode launched as paid add-on Q1 2025
Figma launched Dev Mode as a dedicated add-on ($25/editor/month). It added code-ready exports, design token inspection, and developer handoff tools. The pricing was controversial โ€” many developers felt these features should be free in a handoff-focused tool.

What the February 2026 Restructure Means

Figma's February 2026 change was strategically clever: eliminate the friction of a separate Dev Mode purchase by bundling it into Professional. This increases Professional's perceived value and reduces the barrier for design teams who wanted Dev Mode but balked at the add-on price.

For competitors like Sketch, Penpot, and Framer, the bundled Dev Mode makes Figma Professional more competitive at $15/editor. If you sell a design tool, you now need to address why your tool is worth the switch away from a Professional plan that includes design + developer handoff.

For tools competing at the Starter/free tier, Figma just made the free option worse โ€” an opportunity to capture teams hitting the 3-file limit who don't want to pay $15/editor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Figma free in 2026?

Yes, but the Starter plan is now limited to 3 Figma files and 3 FigJam files. It's free indefinitely but only practical for very small projects. Teams doing serious design work need Professional ($15/editor/month annual).

What is Figma Dev Mode?

Dev Mode is a developer-focused view within Figma that shows code-ready values, CSS properties, design tokens, and handoff annotations. It was briefly a paid add-on (+$25/editor/month) before being bundled into Professional in February 2026.

How does Figma compare to Sketch pricing?

Sketch is $9/editor/month (annual) for cloud collaboration, or a one-time $99 license for Mac-only offline use. Figma Professional is $15/editor/month but is cross-platform (browser + desktop) and includes Dev Mode. Teams choosing Figma pay more per seat but get a broader feature set and platform support.

Does Figma charge for viewers?

No โ€” viewers (people who can comment and inspect but not edit) are free on all plans. You only pay for editor seats. This makes Figma cost-effective for teams where only a few people actively design.
