Figma

What is Figma?

Figma is a browser-based design tool used by product teams to design apps and websites together. If you are waiting for a Black Friday sale, stop. Figma has stated in its own community forum that it does not offer discounts on paid plans, and it ran no Black Friday deal in 2025.

Two legitimate ways to pay less exist. Annual billing costs less per month than monthly billing. Students and educators can apply for Figma's free education plan, which is a far bigger saving than any coupon would be.

Watch out for fake codes

Coupon sites list Figma promo codes that don't work, because Figma doesn't issue them. Don't hand over an email address for a code that will fail at checkout.

Figma fits teams who design interfaces together and hand files to developers. It is a poor fit for print design or photo retouching, where a desktop app such as the free Affinity does more. Solo designers who rarely collaborate may also find the free tier enough.

We couldn't confirm current Professional plan prices from a reliable source, so check figma.com/pricing in your currency, and remember that paid plans are charged per editor, which adds up quickly for larger teams.
