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.Use the 14-day trial to build your site with Blueprint before paying. Pick Core if you'll sell anything, since Basic charges a 2% fee on sales. Pay yearly to save around a quarter and get a free domain for the first year.
