Optimize Your Figma Design Budget

18-25% Wasted on Figma

Unused editor licenses, duplicate team subscriptions, and over-purchased organization plans are draining your design budget. Most companies have 20-30% more licenses than active designers.

Common Figma Cost Issues

🎨

Unused Editor Licenses

Companies purchase Figma editor licenses for all potential designers, but many licenses sit unused as team members only need viewer access or rarely use the tool.

👥

Duplicate Team Subscriptions

Different design teams purchase separate Figma subscriptions, leading to duplicate licensing, fragmented workspaces, and 30-40% higher total costs than a unified organization plan.

⬆️

Organization Plan Over-Purchasing

Companies purchase Organization tier for all editors when many only need Professional features, adding $33/editor/month unnecessarily.

👤

Inactive Designer Accounts

Former designers and contractors retain Figma editor access long after leaving, consuming licenses and team quotas.

🔍

The Figma License Sprawl

Most organizations over-provision Figma editor licenses by 20-30% due to "just in case" designer provisioning, delayed account cleanup, and lack of visibility into actual editor usage. Each unused license costs $12-45/month depending on tier, quickly adding up to significant wasted spend.

Average company wastes $10,000-20,000/year on unused Figma editor licenses
