Charges by role rather than by head: a viewer, a developer and a designer each cost differently, so teams stop overpaying for spectators

About the company
Figma was founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace and spent eight years building what looked impossible: a full interface editor in a browser. The win turned out to be collaboration rather than speed — designer, developer and client sit in one file. A twenty-billion-dollar acquisition collapsed under regulatory objection, and in 2025 the company went public on its own. Pricing here is structured by role rather than by head: viewer, developer and designer cost differently, which makes a real difference to a team’s budget.
