| Which plan to pick | Build on Free until your app works, then move to Starter to launch. Paying monthly costs up to 20% more than yearly. Watch your workload units in the first few months, and only move to Growth when you need a second editor or more capacity. | Try it free first, but expect to run out of credits quickly. If you design in Figma most days, a Professional Full seat is the one to get. Extra credits can be bought pay-as-you-go if a big project needs them. | Start on Basic; Sidekick and the core store are the same on every plan. Move to Grow when you add staff or your monthly sales are high enough that its lower card rates cover the price difference. |
