EDITOR NOTE · Editorial advice, based on public sources
Recommended for people moving from UI sketches to handoff-ready prototypes; it feels heavy for disposable sketches.
Checked: 2026-10-12 · Official site material
Best for
Product design, component libraries, interactive prototypes, reviews, and design-to-development handoff.
Not for
Quick disposable diagrams, offline-first work, or tiny tasks that should not involve seats and team structure.
Key capabilities
Design, prototypes, and components
The official plan page lists components, auto layout, variables, interactive prototypes, overlays, animation, and annotations for iterating from layout to clickable flows.[1][2]
Real-time collaboration and dev inspection
Multiple people can edit live, while viewers can view, comment, inspect, and export for free; paid Full/Dev seats suit sustained design or inspection work.[1]
Cross-product and AI
Starter currently shows 150 AI credits/day and up to 500/month; a Professional Full seat shows 3,000/month and access across Design, Make, FigJam, Slides, and more.[1]

Limitations to watch
Seats are not simply free per person
Full, Dev, and Collab seats differ; paid plans allow free view/comment access, while editing and dev inspection require the relevant seat.[1][2]
Cloud dependency and history limits
Storage, version history, and team libraries vary by plan; large files need deliberate page, component, and naming hygiene.[1]
Editorial workflow: how to try it
Set up pages and components
Define page hierarchy, colors, and text styles before the first user flow.
Add interaction and review
Connect key states in a prototype, invite collaborators to comment, and track open questions.
Hand off to development
Use Inspect, annotations, and asset export for handoff; keep the component library as the source for future changes.
When is it worth paying?
Validate the workflow on Starter; buy the required seats when unlimited projects, libraries, handoff, or higher AI allowances matter.
