Which Figma paid plan do you need for your design team?

Should you purchase a Professional or Organization plan? This is a comprehensive breakdown of the reasons why you might want one or the other.

Once you’ve extended the life of your Figma Starter plan and can see your enterprise scaling beyond one team project (and needing a more robust collaboration for more than three team files), you may be starting to think about upgrading to a more powerful plan.

On the Figma website, we can see that there are some nice-to-haves on both plans.

So, which one do you need? And what’s the major difference for the additional $12 vs $45 per month per user?

90% of small teams who need just a slightly more robust sharing system and version control are probably going to be perfectly fine with the Professional plan. However, I thought it might be most helpful to actually break this down by talking about the main reasons for why you might actually need an organization plan in the first place.
