Figma cut Professional from $20 to $16/editor/month - first real price drop since the Adobe deal collapsed
After last year's billing rework that pushed seats up 25-33%, Figma quietly dropped Professional back to $16/editor. Public framing is competitive pressure (Penpot momentum, OpenAI's Make integration); the read is that the 2025 hike under-tested. For solo and bootstrapped teams already on Pro, this is a $48/yr passive saving per seat - check that your billing reflects the new rate. If you bailed for Penpot or self-host, the cost gap just narrowed enough that Figma is back in the conversation.

Figma rebuilt billing and raised seats: Pro $12→$16, Org $45→$55, plus per-seat add-ons for AI
Figma's first major billing overhaul since the Adobe deal collapsed. Headline: about 25–33% more per seat across tiers, plus AI gated behind separate spend. For most design teams this is a sub-$200/yr increase. For larger orgs, the per-seat AI add-on is the real cost - model carefully before you turn it on. Verdict unchanged (Figma is still the pick for UI), but if you've been on the fence about Penpot for self-hosted sovereignty, this is the nudge.
