Which plan to pickTry 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.There's only the free plan. Sign in with a Google account and start designing. If you hit the monthly cap, wait for it to reset next month.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.
