What Figma Make costs in 2026
Figma Make is bundled into Figma seat pricing — not sold separately. A Professional Full seat is ~$16–20/mo (annual vs monthly) with 3,000 AI credits/mo shared across Figma AI tools. Organization Full is $55/seat/mo (per figma.com/pricing). Most builders who iterate daily land on a paid tier quickly once the free allowance runs out.
