Figma pricing, use cases, and first steps
Figma is the software where teams design screens, sites, and presentations, together in the same file. With “Figma Make,” you describe what you want and the AI builds a clickable prototype, or even a small web app you can publish. In design files, an agent edits mockups, text, and images at your request.
Figma has a free plan. The recommended plan to start with: Starter, $0. Prices checked on October 3, 2026 on the vendor’s official page.

What Figma does
Who it’s for: people who want to show an idea for a screen, a site, or a tool before having it developed, and teams that already work with designers.
Edit by clicking on the preview
You click a button, a heading, or a block right in the preview, and you change it in a settings panel. You can also draw on the preview to show the AI what to change.
Publish and share the result
One click gives your prototype a web address. Your coworkers open it in their browser and try it. Every version is kept in the history: you can go back.

- The agent in design files
- Rewrite, shorten, or translate text
- Create and edit images

Nova’s advice
Start with the free plan: it is enough to build a first prototype and see whether the tool clicks for you. Before you pay, ask whether your company already has Figma seats: that is common as soon as there is a design team. If you only comment or run workshops, a “Collab” seat is enough.

What it does less well
- Figma Make builds a convincing prototype, not software that is ready for the company. For a real tool with real data, you will need a developer and the IT team’s approval.
- Figma remains a designer’s tool. Outside Figma Make, the interface is rich and takes time to learn.
Have Figma Make build a prototypeFigma- In Figma, open your drafts, then click “Make” at the top right. A new file opens with a chat area.
- Paste the prompt below. To give a visual example, click +, then “Add context,” and add a screenshot or a document.
- Send. Figma Make builds the screen: the preview appears next to the chat, and you can click inside it.
- Choose the editing tool (“Point and edit”), click an element in the preview, and change its color or its text.
- Ask for a change in the chat: “Add a filter by sales rep.”
- When you are happy with the result, click “Publish” to get an address you can send to your coworkers.
The prompt to copy
Create a quote tracking dashboard for a sales team of five. At the top: the number of open quotes, the total amount, and the close rate. Below: the list of quotes with the customer, the amount, the date sent, and the status (sent, followed up, signed, lost). A button to add a quote. Clean style, in English, with sample data.
