The Figma price increase hits differently when you're wearing multiple hats – freelancer, full-time designer, and contractor. 🧵

As a freelancer though? That price jump hits my personal budget hard, especially when I'm not using Dev Mode, FigJam, or Slides for every project.

Here's a thought: Why not offer à la carte pricing? Let users choose their tools – maybe just core Figma design features for $10/mo? Not every designer needs the full suite, and flexibility could help maintain accessibility for independent creators.

Agree on this. Having an option to choose tools would be great. I guess the main focus is on large teams and organizations since it means bigger checks. Independent creators are not that profitable even though I'm one of those 🤷🏻‍♀️

Freelancers and small agencies definitely aren’t an afterthought. The output from the big Fig goes in waves. Attention on one function or scale, iterate, move on to the next. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some small adjustments over time and / or renewed focus on indiv. soon

Would love to see that!
