Which plan to pick	Start on Starter if it is just you. Move to Professional when you have a developer or second designer involved, and put them on a cheaper dev or collab seat rather than a full seat. Organization and Enterprise are for companies, not small businesses.	Basic on yearly billing is one of the cheapest ways into a full AI studio with a commercial licence. Pro is the plan for anyone using it weekly, because it unlocks every model. Watch the compute meter on video and premium models in your first month.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Figma	Krea
Pros	The industry standard, so designers and developers already know it Collaboration is as easy as a Google Doc Figma Make turns a brief into a testable prototype quickly Official Claude Code connection for design-to-code Starter plan is generous for a solo person	Real-time generation that no rival matches Its own fast, cheap editing model in Krea 3 Many leading image and video models under one plan Cheap entry plan with unlimited relaxed generations Strong developer and designer integrations
Cons	Steep learning curve for anyone who is not a designer Seat types and per-seat pricing are confusing for small teams AI features and the Claude connection are tightly limited on the free plan Overkill for social posts and flyers	Compute units are spent at different rates per model, so costs are hard to predict Reviewers report trouble cancelling, surprise charges and slow support Busy interface with a lot of tools to learn Some users found the Enhancer changed colours or added grain Performance can dip at peak times
